Telecast rights

And this is for the Pakistan ODI series or series' after that? I think that someone should just get rid of the BCCI completely and start a new, transparent, and well-managed organization. That way we can just drop all of the mess the current batch of idiots have left behind. Haha 4-ball overs--that's a good one!

this is after the pak tour..sadly

So that would cover the Sri Lanka ODIs (I think that's in April, although I am not sure if they are in India or Sri Lanka) and the later tour by Sri Lanka. What else does India have scheduled this year, in India?

So If ESPN bagged the rights they would show home series' against Sri Lanka and England, and away series against Zimbabwe. I think Pakistan, West Indies and Sri Lanka fall under Ten Sports while the Super Series would probably be broadcasted on Sony Max. So if ESPN don't get the rights we can only expect one quality broadcast and against an under-quality team (Zimbabwe). They must get the rights!

South Africa didn't play ODI's on their last tour, so they've still got to squeeze at least 3 in, as per the ICCs future tours program.

australia never played odis in there last tour of india aswell. maybe they will do a triangular series between india, south africa and australia some time this year

 

[sohum]

Perhaps the Australia-New Zealand-India ODIs were for that? Or was that too long ago.

 

[jazz]

i think that was too long ago. that was in 2003 and south africa still need to play india in odis

This echoes our sentiments, loud and clear.

That article is fabulous. We need to start a strike or petition to ban DD from getting coverage of ANY cricket matches. There coverage in all sports is terrible. Take, for example, the olympic games. During the actual olympic games they will show NO replays whatsoever. And three months-four months later they will begin showing gymnastics from the olympics. It was quite funny I think when the Australia-New Zealand-India tri-series was going on, DD was showing repeats from Sydney 2000. They are the height of incompetence.

well i frankly think that we all should try callin on their show and tell them what we think abt the telecast...I have been trying since ages but cannot get a call thru...if I will get it thru I will definitely give them a piece of my mind...
