Jersey #10 Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Is there some sort of rights that Cricinfo would need to take in order to give proper coverage of IPL? 1. Cricinfo is not offering any photos of IPL 3 2010. This is very unusual as cricinfo usually has images of various cricketing activities. I don't remember the last time cricinfo did not offer pictures of an event with so many international players involved. 2. They are not giving coverage of any Man of the Math and the pre or post match presentation. Any info on cricinfo would be appreciated.
guju24 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 i think they have not resolve the issue with photo agency to provide IPL pictures...I also observed no photographer near boundary lines...i think
panesarv Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 IPL is very *****y about everything they own. The photos can only be available from their site. Yes, it is a rights issue. I'm actually surprised they are showing everything free on youtube.
straight.drive Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Modi at his dictatorial best. I would not be surprised if IPL starts its own channel for live coverage and dump Sony Max
iplseason3news Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks for information. IT might be increase my knowledge

Cricinfo was using stock photographs from ODIs then :haha:
Params7 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Cricinfo isn't paying Modi enough to use IPL pics.
flamy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 But, IPL is doing an awesome job posting full matches and highlights along with the live coverage on Youtube. :omg:
Jersey #10 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 But' date=' IPL is doing an awesome job posting full matches and highlights along with the live coverage on Youtube. :omg: [/quote'] regardless, cricinfo is an absolute cricket hub and nothing can replace it. Not letting cricinfo use a few pics from each game only devalues the IPL because at the end of the day cricinfo archives everything for the future references. Having something missing on cricinfo will only hurt the evaluation of the IPL some time some place down the road. This is absolutely crazy and beyond me.
Params7 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 But' date=' IPL is doing an awesome job posting full matches and highlights along with the live coverage on Youtube. :omg: [/quote'] Live coverage is a joke, with such low quality they are turning users off instead of making a fanbase. As for highlights its some of the most disorganized mess, with every match they upload like 50 of its videos and to just find proper highlights of the full match you have to do a lot of digging, and they don't even upload highlights of all matches (matches 7,8 are missing). And yeah nothing can replace cricinfo. Youtube/ipl has probably only Indians coming to it but cricinfo is viewed all over the world by all kinds of cricket fans.
coffee_rules Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 So, stop going to CrapInfo. Go to other sites. Rediff has decent coverage of IPL.
hitman1980 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 rediff??u must be joking .. IPL should stop going FIFA way .. and must share pics with all news agencies ..
