The day started off boring and disappointing as usual for Chennai vasi’s when there is Cricket Match being played. The rest of India would watch and we will be left to see the scores in News channels or listen to AIR FM radio commentary. At 10:15 AM my cousin called me and asked me tune to Sun TV; they were scrolling a message that from today Chennai people with SCV connection (a MSO) can watch the cricket matches without the need of a fucking set-top box!
There is No free lunch
At 11:00 AM, they aired Ten Sports with their logo and their advertisements. This was courtesy SCV-Ten Sports. DD would have bagged the telecast, had they agreed to Ten Sports “offer” to air the telecast complete with Ten Sports logo and their advertisements. They did not even agree to pay compensation for the expense Ten Sports incur. DD states Ten Sports should share the feed keeping the viewer’s interests in mind as Ten Sports don’t have a large viewer base as DD and it’s a pay channel.
Now if DD wants to “protect” the interests of the viewers, they should agreed to Ten Sports terms and aired the series. Now assuming if they bagged the telecast, will they air without advertisements? I hope DD don’t get the telecast for ODI Hutch series also, now that Chennai people don’t care when we can watch the match in Ten Sports!
The same story:
It’s gonna be a long for the Indians, considering that the wicket is batsmen friendly. Faisalabad seems to a tame and docile pitch as the one in Lahore. Run feasts will continue and this match will head to a draw. I personally prefer the Dust Bowl pitches in India, atleast we can expect a result!
Anyways, this is a wonderful news to Chennai people. Now all the Ten Sports telecasted cricket matches will be aired.

All the BCCI wants is more and more money.
And hence these problems.
I can’t understand why people are soo much after cricket. What happened to other sports? Why are they being neglected. Cricketers stay in 5 Star hotels, while our Hockey players travel by trains and lead a miserable life. There was this news that some hockey player had no become a ticket collector! He said this job was at least better than playing hockey!
Hmm..
I think it’s not fair to blame cricket when the other sports don’t take off.
Tennis is gaining momentum after Sania’s dream run in 2005. F1 would have been more popular if Narain or others done better.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a great fan of Hockey. I watchhed all the Champions Trophy matches even thou’ India din’t play well. Had the Hockey players done well, we will get good viewerships
