Wating cricket in Neo sports is worst than watching in Doordarshn. They never telecast the fifth bowl that bowlers bowls. At that point of time we have no option but only to guess. NEO Sports have changed the cricket into 5 ball over cricket. Am I right?

Star Cricket, ESPN, Star Sports and Ten Sports are best. Zee Sports is not showing any cricket series. I don't know why?
Nimbus is learnt to have paid Rs 45 crore for the rights, and the telecast of the five one-dayers and a T20 game will be on Neo Cricket. Said Neo Sports Broadcast CEO Harish Thawani: "We hope our key advertisers from the two abandoned India-England one-dayers will continue with us."

Neo Sports / Neo Cricket Channel is a kill-joy, exactly like the Durdharshan.
These insensitive guys cut the live telecast immediately after the fifth ball of each over to air commercials. They also squeeze in ads by not showing the replays of fall of wickets.
There was some sound bytes made by BCCI if one were to believe media reports to the effect that BCCI will ask Neo to improve. But one has to wait and see what happens during the telecast of India Srilanka matches.

I first thought it will come on Ten Sports. Is DD going to display live telecast?

Supreme Court has ordered DD-Sports must get the feeds for all cricket matches of India, anywhere in the world.

I hope some joker in DDS does not waste the feed.
This Strauss is a whiner like any English cricketer I've heard or seen. He needs to understand that the IPL is a domestic competition just like country cricket in England. Many foreign players take part in county championships. I just don't understand how the IPL would frisk away player committment towards their national teams ?!
In fact, the IPL could secure the national future of many of these English players. For example, Shane Watson was made a fixture for Australia primarily because of this IPL performance. Another example would be of the veteran Sanath Jayasuriya, who had to come out of yet another retirement to represent Sri Lanka in the one day game based on his performances for the Mumbai franchise.
So Strauss needs to chill out and let the guys have some fun playing good competitive cricket in the IPL eventhough it's only T20.
The verdict is: IPL boosts your national chances be it whether you are Indian or English or any other nationality.

First you need to chill, Jay!
Strauss is a test player very much in the mould of our own Dravid and no IPL team will bid for him if he is available for auction. Like the case of the fox and sour grapes, Strauss is speaking out of distress.

R U JOKING?? STRAUSS IS A HIGH CLASS BATSMAN N I'M SURE CAPTAINS WUD LOVE 2 HAVE HIM IN THEIR SIDE.
Most of the time when Pah chase a big target one of the batsman call a runner. Why? May be Pakis are not habitual to play long innings. Today Misbah is runner for S.Malik.
