achilles Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 What a day it has been for Test cricket. Unfortunately, Ten Cricket has been doing a Neo Sports, reducing overs to even 5 ball ones at times, going to commercials even before the ball goes dead. What was worse was that today were even missing the first ball of overs, busy selling mobile phones and Docomo dongles, while India were fighting it out. I have seen ESPN resorting to SKIPPING commercial breaks at crucial moments of the game, even between overs. I can understand that Ten & Neo spend a bomb to acquire rights, but there is something called "quality"! Disgraceful!
diegovegaz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 such channels should be banned we should get sky sports and fox sports in india :woot:
achilles Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 I think ESPN should be airing every series India plays in, even the ones against Bangladesh OR The board should make some strict guidelines, before Test broadcasts rival the ones for T20s.
diegovegaz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 espn (india) is not shy of giving advertisements when india is playing
littlemaster1982 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This torture is just for Indian matches. I have seen matches involving other countries in Ten Sports with literally no ads. Our board is the culprit here for selling the broadcasting rights for ridiculous prices.
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Ten sports have found a new way to advertise during the over. Have you guys noticed the ads behind the batsman (just where the ground sponsors are painted) when the ball is about to be bowled?
ravishingravi Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Cricket was never meant for spectators in the ground or audiences at home in India.
akshayxyz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Yes, as soon as umpire gives a decision, it switches to ads.. and for the last wicket - they didnt even show it live!
achilles Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Sreesanth's gone to complain to the umpires..... Oh chuck that. Look, Akshay Kumar ke ghar mein pada hain tona or whatever nonsense it is :woot:
mhr123 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Hmmm... I am also getting it live on Tens Cricket..not sure from where i am getting this broadcast... but i don't get even a single Ad during the change of overs... sometimes 1 or 2 ads after a wkt falls or team ranking... I stay in N Africa....
