zep1706 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Shonali was the cricket expert on ITV during IPL 3 I think. lol she was so irritating.
nballa Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 my vote goes to whichever network that promotes five ball overs by cutting to commercials when the bowler starts the runup to the 6th delivery of the over.
ViruRulez Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Not sony please The most pisspoor cricket coverage ever. ++ I do not want to see the ads between balls with overs being cut off to insert more ads. And no time offs either. Imagine 5 times offs in each innings of an ODI. :haha: Sorry but no Sony plz. Let serious cricket like ODIs and tests remain serious and not just cash machines.

Guys, remember before Neo got the contract in 2006, for a brief period of maybe 1-2 years the contract had gone to sahara one... maybe they telecasted the 2006/07 INDO-ENG series... That was the worst coverage i have ever seen... sony is miles ahead of that... so please pray its not any such pisspoor channels... ESPNSTAR or TEN CRICKET... those are our only hope...
saneindian Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Will Neo now team up with Zee group to relaunch the ICL? They are already going to run the ICL equivalent of Hockey next year.
ganeshran Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 ^ The ICL is dead. It will never be able to attact half decent cricketers now after it closed down the first time around
Stuge Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 One of the media outlet was reporting, its due to ad's of hockey league that were being shown between India vs WI series is result of this .

Postponed till further notice.
Magneto Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Ten is owned by Zee. I doubt BCCI will give the coverage rights to Zee at all. I Think it will go to ESPN-Star or Sony, with Sony having an upper hand.

Sachin=GOD Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 And the WSH is dead...at least for the time being. Postponed till further notice. It will now start from Feb 29th and was postponed because there was a Camp for Olympic Qualifiers (thats what they are saying anyway).
Needforspeed Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Neo showed the Ranji Matches today. Yeah wondering about this..If the contract is cancelled how come this is happening. Also this is what Harish Thawani of Nimbus Communications is quoted as saying "We have no official word from BCCI regarding the rumour in a section of the media and hence will not be issuing any statement," What's happening?

Even the bcci hasn't released a statement...its only reports... once the contracts gets officially cancelled the bcci will come out with it... plus nimbus gets paid by the bcci to telecast the ranji games so unless otherwise directed by bcci they will telecast it
MCcricket Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 BCCI BIG WIGS DID NOT GET ENOUGH KICKBAGCKS LOL, hope it is done professionally, a broadcasting company that provides quality , watching cricket on SKY, CHANNEL 9 IS A DIFFERENT WORLD.

A BCCI official revealed that the board would begin discussions with Nimbus soon to ensure that Ranji Trophy games could be telecast until the end of the tournament on January 23. The BCCI owns the production rights of its domestic matches and has a separate deal with Nimbus to produce the live TV footage of domestic matches. Under this deal, Nimbus receives payment by the board. "

" its not an official statement dude...just a source in bcci office that the reporters have... once all discussions lead to a final say bcci will give a statement at a press conference...until that you can't be sure of anything...

Since reported by cricinfo, hoping it's pretty much the case. The official statement will be pretty much on the same lines only.
