Australia V England the other night. They cut in toward the end of the Bangladeshi Innings. If they do not want to show the game live, show the full match in delay or do not show it at all. Looks like the same will happen again tonight as well

Another one for the "Show Our Sport" campaign.

So much for Channel 9s free-to-air "Save Our Sport" campaign.

Not sure what the arangement is between 9 and foxtel but last night's game against Pakistan saw Channel 9's coverage about 1 hour behind foxtels.

On channel 9 tommrow night, the cricket starts at 6:30 :shock:
They should bloody well make up their mind what time they are going to show it and if they are going to show all of it, otherwise we are going to either miss half or miss the lot, except for you lucky bastardo's with foxtel :wink:

In Perth, we got the starting time of the first match advertised wrong, but at least we got to see all matches in their entirety.

Had to laugh (as an ex-Victorian) when SO'D welcomed the eastern states viewers in the 12th over of the Bangers' innings against Australia ... reminded me of old times.

I am getting used to Test matches starting at 9am (it was 8am until daylight saving started in December) and watching the end of the one dayers at 8.30pm ... you guys should come over here LOL :lol:
