So only BD vs England's games are not going to be shown. Well i may use Bangladeshlive for those games.

Well done, Channel 7. Someone in the forum said it was ABC.

Yes i would have thought they would have shown the england v Bangladesh games seen as it is the same series. Channel 9 shows the 2 international oppenent games in the vb series. eg. India v South Africa at the MCG.

Australian channels never showed any cricket matches played by Australia before. Only matches played in Australia are shown. Obviously Australian matches in World Cup is the notable exception.

I never thought they would show the Ashes and the Natwest. England being the ranked 2 team helped it to some extent in Channel 7 being convinced to broadcast it. Anyway England did beat the Aussies last year in ICC trophy. I hope that they can beat the Aussies this time as well because Australia's one sided domination is not good for cricket.

Pakistan would won the finals in VB series but umpires cheated so many times that it was not possible to beat the Aussies.

Though Pakistan bowling attack was the weakest to tour Australia ... they ensured that Aussies got scored of 234 and 238 but umpires cheated so Pakistani's got out too many times and were also denied wickets ...

The funny thing was Shoaib Malik clearly caught one catch and it was close to the ground and he indicated to the umpire to call for TV replay. And umpire didn't refer it to the 3rd umpire. Samething happened to a WI fielder who caught it and wasn't 100% sure so Aussies were given 2 lives.

Nafis being out when he should be not out is one form of cheating engineered by the British this time but what about Aussies getting out clearly in Cover in front of the umpire who had a clear view and still they are given not out. What can u do when Aus and England cheat ?

They control the ICC. So Brett Lee can chuck and clock 158 km/h against NZ and absolutely terrorise NZ batsmen with short pitch stuff and beamers ... Poor NZ batsman who didn't face many in the 140 kmh range let alone 155 km/h range succumb to defeat.

Read the anti-syphoning laws. For one-day series which have games in Australia all games in the series must be shown on free TV. All international matches in England featuring Australia must be shown on free TV.
