ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[UmerIdrees]

If its a world-cup and an India vs Pakistan WC knockout game, virtual or not, you know it can go only one way..

I noticed that cricinfo is only showing old matches in which India had played and India had Won  ... Oh Common...There are other good matches too in the history of ODI's.

Suddenly few YouTube channels have popped up wherein they are also broadcasting old IPL matches and Indian matches where India has won. I guess they are cashing into the demand of cricket crazy nation under lockdown.

You mean they are showing full 20 overs or 50 overs matches and not only the highlights ?  Is this thing really working and people really enjoy watching the old match in full ?  Very strange for me.

@UmerIdrees StarSports never telecast matches in which Pakistan won because they have biggest market in India and this can hurt them very badly so right now they are telecasting all matches those won by India against Pakistan in World Cups TenSports Pakistan based channel it telecasting matches which are won by Pakistan in world cups and other events.

@BitSat19 I haven’t switched on the sports channel as there’re no live matches to watch, but I’m aware that StarSports is doing this as my friend had send me a link regarding it, and I feel it’s unethical to show only one team winning, they should be impartial and show other teams winning against India too. Further now the only time these two teams will clash is the Asian cup provided it’s not canceled due to covid-19.

How is this unethical?

Starsports is only broadcasting those matches in India and Indian viewers want to see matches that were won by the Indian team. There broadcast is not mean for international viewers but for the domestic viewers. I do not see anything wrong in it.

I am in Pakistan and  i am also a viewer of Star Sports. So why they only show matches where India win. I would like to see thrilling matches regardless of who win ?  If they think that only Indian viewers see star sports, then they are wrong.

Does government of Pakistan allow broadcast of Indian content? Cause in India it is termed illegal to broadcast Pakistani content.

As per my knowledge it is also illegal to broadcast Indian content in Pakistan as there is a ban by the Pakistani government from 2018. So whatever you are watching on star sports is meant for Indian viewers not Pakistani.

Government of Pakistan does not allow Indian channels to be broadcast through cable TV but i am using my personal Dish to watch all the channels including Indians ones.
So Star sports should know that i am also watching their channel and they should show few matches where Pakistan win too.

For few Pakistani viewers star sport will not angry rest of India. Indian ads are genrerating revenue for it to operate. That is not possible and by the way you can check youtube to watch cricket matches where India has lostt. There are tons of them uploaded their.

As such, almost all of these matches are copyrighted and even if they are available on YouTube, they may be the pirated version. Some matches may be made available on YouTube by the copyright holders, but it's their discretion. If you want access to all these matches, then I guess you need a premium subscription to some online streaming website, such as Hotstar.

Why would you waste your 8 hours to watch this full match tomorrow ?

You can watch the highlights of this match here and save your time.

During lockdown everyone is getting bored and there are many people who have nothing more to get engaged into. I guess watching for 8 hours is ok for them. Also TBH highlights are not much enjoyable IMO i.e skip in commentary and tactical changes and these are something that a die hard cricketer fan carefully listens to. Plus you only watch highlights if you are running out of time but situation is quite the opposite now.

I don't mind wasting my 8 hours if it is action packed. I find Ashes interesting as well but that I would obviously be watching highlights lol.

Well... most of us are working, irrespective of the lockdown. The only difference now is that we are able to save the time which would have otherwise gone in commuting. During the weekdays, the daytime is taken up by full time job, which leaves only a few hours to watch any sporting action. And for my part I have stopped watching the sports channels, as no live action is available. Watching for 8 hours every day is extreme. If you do that, then you may be ignoring your studies or your work commitments.

Its always exciting when there is something new going on- the excitement , suspense is on whole new level.

Lucky for me I don't have much work say it's a perk of working in sector other than private. Well it depends from person to person and how much free time he has so I get it. I agree 8 hours every day is bit extreme but I was actually talking about picking out a day to watch some previous crazy cricket matches in full. (just not making it frequent- not every day obvio)

Not everyone have much work to do at this lockdown season so they have no options other than spending their days with netflix and Youtube.Sometime myself see old circket moments from different countries which still gives goosebumps to me like what we will react if we watch that for first time.

I don't want anyone to concentrate on their studies now because we are really got stressed with out busy life schedule so why not give some rest to our mind and body.

@UmerIdrees you don't need to be mad at star sports. its tough time for any business and broadcaster too having bad time. To show any match on network they need footage first and chances are they don't have any footage of OLD_GAMES. Recently Star sports requested to BCCI about their archive collection as they don't have any new content for their audience. Almost all cricket board keep their archive full (Their own games) and BCCI opened their archive for them so that might be a one major reason, why they only showing Indian games.

Hope this info helps?

Did any of you watch the 2011 World Cup matches on Star Sports recently? I watched the semi-final clash between India and Pakistan and it felt great to see it again even after almost a decade passed since then.

Sachin, MSD, Yuvraj, Hafeez, Misbah, Gul, Ajmal, Harbhajan, Kohli etc in a single game were a treat to watch. Pakistan had some amazing spinners back then.

^ WB bro, its been a while i suppose. out of nowhere you went missing from the Cricket threads 

Nah, didn't watch the game (Working in Lockdown  ) Btw it was full 8 hours game or just long version of highlights?

Hey dude. There isn't a lot of Cricket actions these days(Missing IPL badly) though I have been active in the gambling and gambling discussion boards. The Corona games are the only interesting games these days. Was hoping to take part in Royse's IPL tournament, but that went down the gutter.

Nah, didn't watch the game (Working in Lockdown   ) Btw it was full 8 hours game or just long version of highlights?

It was the full game. Watched some part of it and loved every minute of it. Felt like it was 2011 all over again(Would love to travel back and watch it live and buy some BTC).

I feel jealous about you guys. I am an IT employee and even now we have to work for 9-10 hours every day. On top of that, even on weekends there is no entertainment. The lockdown is quite strict here and all the shopping malls and cinema theaters are closed. I am getting really frustrated sitting inside the house all the time. On top of that, there are little children in my house and they can be really irritating.
