Sai/anyone else with willow, I linked by youtube and willow accounts but it says it's not available in my region. I couldn't find anything on the willow website saying it's only available in certain regions. Did I do something wrong?

Hmmm... Not sure why it gives you that. I can't try it out because I am watching it on my Samsung HDTV (with the Willow TV app that they have released). Trying contacting Willow support. This series is definitely available for North American viewers. They have had this problem even during the India vs West Indies series where the website says its not available for our region, but I was able to watch the series on my Samsung TV app.

India have picked the right team. Praveen over Sree is a good decision though Sree has more pace and might provide the X-factor. Raina over Yuvraj was a certainty after Yuvraj failed in the practice game and Raina scored a century (apart from an excellent series in WI). I am a little worried with us choosing bowling, but seems like the commentators all say its the right decision. Hope India make best use of the conditions and leave England in tatters soon.

India chose to bat, England have Bresnan.
Zaheer will be the main threat, see him through and Cook and Strauss can really settle in. And will Tendulkar really come in a t3?

No they don't?

And I think Sachin's batting at his regular spot.

I'm itching to see PK up against Cook. Should be good.

Gee I wish they'd get a move on. Skip the photos and handshakes and start playing for goodness sake.

Bumble's eyebrows are outrageous.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I'm seeing a lot of Ravi Shastri, Ganguly, Wasim...bad news is none of them are actually playing today.

Bleh cricket coverage annoys me sometimes.

Sai, thing is that it is working from the willow.tv website, but not from the youtube website. I just hope they are not any different video quality wise?

Hopefully Sachin gets out on a wrong LBW decision, that should shove one up the BCCI for being such idiots regarding the DRS.

No, they are not different quality wise, I am pretty sure. The quality you get on Willow is the same quality you get on YouTube. They are trialing this collaboration with YouTube to stream matches live, so initially we are going to have problems with using YouTube with Willow.

That has been said innumerable times. I doubt anything will change BCCI though. Only if ICC could step up...

Dont worry still we wont be applying LBW decisions in DRS

 

[SaiSrini]

Good that Willow is using Star Cricket Extra's pre-match discussion. Is that Geoffrey Boycott with Sunny Gavaskar and Harsha?

You people are terrible.

Let him get his 100th 100 and get out for a duck after that.
