Australian Domestic Cricket

[Sedition]

Australian domestic cricket's honorary "Test match", the Sheffield Shield final, will not be broadcast on television for the first time since 2007, due to cramped scheduling and the drain of resources created by the Twenty20 Big Bash League.

Didn't realise the BBL was still running. Stretched resources my ass. Can't interrupt the tweaking ???? darts, golf, english/spanish soccer, whatever stupid sport the US is playing now. Somehow I think they could've found a way to squeeze it in if NSW was in the final.

It probably clashes with the tour to West Indies. Foxtel couldn't be bothered doing both. :/

I was disappointed at first, but I actually don't mind that they're going to commit to the webcast with commentary. I think it's an option cricket has to look more seriously at.

and yeah, the biggest time eaters next weekend are rugby and international cricket, so they are at least partially screwed.

All good for me

Adding commentary to their shitty one camera coverage is a plus, but I doubt I'll be watching any of it online, as opposed to following the majority of it on TV if there was coverage.

CA must have tricked the BCCI into thinking it was 100 of something.

I'm a man of action Can't believe they actually thought for a second that people would want to watch bullshit sports from europe or america, or the sheep shaggers vs. the boers, rather than a domestic test match with more talented players than any other international team.

Absolutely Stupid. Probably you should update yourself with some general knowledge. Why do you think Indians are active in this thread?

So will the online stream be the Foxsports TV coverage or will the online stream be the usual 2 ground cameras?

Big wicket of Cowan for the Bulls just before lunch. Tassie were starting to look ominous, but all of a sudden the tide has changed and the ball is nipping around a bit.

Does anyone know where the online stream is, if there is one? I had a look on the cricket Australia website, and couldn't find it.
