I just wanted to write about the channel which we have loved for so long right from our school days the Channel 9 of Australia which has been instrumental and frontrunner in broadcasting cricket series in Australia. I have been watching this sports channel right from the Benson and Hedges cup of 1985 where Ravi Shastri won the Man of the Series award till the recent ongoing Aus Vs SA series.
One of the good things the sports channel has been doing is to use the technology and the amount of effort it puts in making the game of cricket so interesting. Also one has to understand that the matches start at 5 AM IST (if it is a Day match) when our minds are clear
It was a different move to have 3 commentators doing the commentary instead of the traditional 2. On top of this the quality of cricket matched played,in this current year South Africans are playing tremendous cricket and the best quality of coverage and commentary makes you sit and watch Test Cricket with the same patience that you have for T20 or One day internationals
We have quiet a few criticisms of the commentary being too much Australian supportive/one sided/etc but neverthless it is awsome to watch a Test match or a one day Match in this channel.
Also we have to credit the Australian Board of having this tie up for so long and not making it as a dusty one like what we have in India.
Though we have a quiet a good India vs Englad Series Neo Sports coverage was way below expectations and standards compare to these channels. BCCI should look into these aspects and see if some improvements can be brought down there
