Empire of Cricket - Part 4 - India

[Sachinism]

Empire of Cricket BBC2 - 21 June 2009 4/4 - India The story of the Indian game, from its beginnings as the sport of the English colonisers to the riches and razzmatazz of today's Indian Premier League. The programme shows a country where cricket is the undisputed national sport, with deep connections to India's emergence as a nation through years of Empire, Partition and then Independence. Today, a brash new confidence on the cricket pitch reflects India's arrival as a superpower in the world. It was the Parsi community that first copied the game from the English - and Indians initially played the game inter-communally, with separate gymkhanas for different ethnic groups. Over the years, different cricketing cultures have emerged to satisfy different parts of the Indian psyche. One is test cricket with Indian traditions of patient batting and probing spin bowling. The other involves shorter forms of the game, one-day cricket, where cricket becomes a spectacle with the excitement and drama that Indians call tamasha. And now a country of over a billion fans has a revolutionary form of cricket in 20/20, which under Indian control has the money, the ambition and the best players in the world. India is now in a position to lead the wider Empire of Cricket. Includes interviews with cricketers Kapil Dev, Bishan Bedi, Farokh Engineer, Sachin Tendulkar, Madan Lal, Michael Holding and Shane Warne. Also includes interviews with cricket writers and broadcasters Mihir Bose, Harsha Bhogle, Rahul Bhattacharya and Mukul Kesavan.

How do you get access to iplayer? proxy? This vid I uploaded is a tv rip, about removing DRM, I saw an article on a site earlier, but can't find it at the moment, there are a few way I found via google, but not sure if they work, you may have to try them out

Yea via proxy. I tried out the google ones, but bbc has upgraded their drm protection.. oh well.. Atleast I can watch them.. Since proxies are so slow.. the trick is to start watching with a proxy, then switch off the proxy while watching :D

I don't have a megaupload account, you can upload to it for free. I just went to the main page and uploaded the file. Try it out if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll give you some other sites you can use. Also I have all the parts as well, so if you need me to upload any parts let me know and I'll put one to upload overnight
