First of 3 x ODI's v SA kicks of on Sunday 2.20pm

Ch7 the new free to air of cricket apparently wont be covering it. What a complete farce.
Will be on at Fox 501, Warne will be there no doubt pushing his agendas on who should be in the side

SA play a warm up match in Canberra Manuka oval v PM XI this Wednesday



Will we win a game with this lot? Bowling should be on par and competitive

Apologies if this question was covered in the TV Rights thread.

How did Fox get around the anti-siphoning laws to be only broadcaster for the ODI’s?

 

[yobbo84]

Channel 7 have the rights but have chosen not to air the series.

 

[TheParraboy]

Feel sorry for cricket fans who don't have Fox

What the f..k are ch7 thinking?? Is it clashing with something like tennis or lawn bowls??

Even if it was on 7, Im not gonna watch a minute of them, better commentators at Fox (Warne aside) more cricket talk, and less ads

Merkins.

So I don’t have to listen to a bunch of Victorians talk about anything but cricket. Sounds like a win to me.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k off 7. That's a disgrace.

Battle of the pace attacks. I think we'll lose 3 - 2.

 

[JW]

Feel sorry for the current generation growing up with Cricket (sans Fox). No limited overs internationals, a heavy diet of KFC Cricket and Test coverage comprising of wall to wall VFL anecdotes.

I miss Nein already.

As for this series, I'm sure we'll find a way to mess it up somehow.

 

[jargan83]

Pretty pissweak from Channel 7 not to show the game on FTA but I guess this is what Cricket fans will have to put up with in future with Cricket Australia putting money ahead of the game.

What’s the bet there’s a sneaky backrook deal between 7 and Fox so that’s Fox has exclusive TV coverage?

 

[Eelectrica]

If Ch7 don't think an ODI series between SA and Aus will rate, I don't know what they think will bring ratings. Whilst we're not what we used to be, I think plenty of people would love to watch the series and see just how we go.
There's all kinds of reasons to think this ODI series would rate well.

 

[Twizzle]

why did they bid for it if they wont televise it ?

 

[franklin2323]

When the deal was announced Fox said all short form International cricket was on there. Cricket Australia got greedy and will pay the price in years to come

People still watch ODIs? While they are better than 20/20 its a dead format that should be scrapped

World cup is not too far away, so there will be more ODI coming up

the 5 game Ind v WI series has got good crowds, all games are live which helps and that its in india
the tie match was good

Probably my fave form to sit and watch on a weekend. Test cricket is obviously my favourite all around, but sitting down on a Sunday arvo to watch an ODI in summer with a ten pack of Bentspoke is just about the perfect evening

Came home to find that I still had a few of them on the fridge. Almost as exciting as going away in the first place
