Disappointing there's no DRS or speed guns. I assume there will be speed guns against England.
 
Willow tv app is showing that it is going to show on internet but Willow tv channel doesn’t show the same in its guide. May be they just have internet streaming rights.

Yeah Willow TV is showing both the matches. Usually all ECB and NZC matches are shown by ESPN. I paid $5 for the ESPN+ for nothing, could have just got the trial only for Ireland match.

This is an interesting development btw. We have a lot of England tours in coming years and would be nice to enjoy them for $10 on Willow 😉
 
When you say both the games, which is the other game which you are talking about other than Pak/Eng?


Edit-
Nevemind, I guess you meant both the test matches.

Looks like Willow stepped in at the 11th hour. Glad I only got the free trial to ESPN+.

Pshh contact them and tell them you want to cancel and they'll bump it down to $7.50.

Can anyone confirm if the willow on Roku is going to be showing it or not?

I'm also wondering the same thing. I have the channel through Roku but on the TV guide it doesn't show the game, but on the willow website it says it will show it. Wonder if it's similar to what happened with IPL streaming rights

I think I already did that. My account started at $14.99 and they reduced it to $9.99. But doesn’t hurt to try again to bring it down more :najam
 
Waqar Younis on channel 5 it seems for the Test series
 
why OSN is not showing it in KSA :( i have to wait to come to the office to watch the game as i do not have the internet at home now adays :(
 
What streaming service can I buy to watch Eng tour in US

I am sorry I rarely post here. Hoping you can advise where to buy streaming option to watch the England tour. Google was no help.

U.S option to be more specific

These two matches are being advertised on Geo Super. Not sure if anybody in UK are showing it but its definately being broadcasted
 
Who would be broadcasting in US? Ireland test was done by ESPN+ and England series by Willow. Quite interesting lol
 
Geo Super will broadcast in Pakistan, so Geo might do in the UK. Think PTV Sports will broadcast too

The games will be broadcast everywhere....apart from the UK.

Sky own the rights to all England, Ireland and Scotland home games in the UK. They have chosen to show the Eng vs Scot game on Sunday, however, not the Scot vs Pak games.

How does that even make sense lol.

Cricket Scotland need to sort something out. How are you going to promote the game if you're not even going to telecast T20Is in the country. :facepalm:

Unfortunately at the moment the way it works, I believe Ireland and Scotland's home games are included in the ECB's deal with Sky Sport.

I completely agree with you. Getting cricket back on TV - and ideally free TV - is one of the key methods to help the game grow and reach a large number of people in Scotland.
 
Quick look at the Sky Schedule and they've got an England Womens game on instead. Who's going to actually organise the broadcast if Sky aren't doing it?

My point was though if Sky aren't broadcasting it how are overseas broadcasters going to broadcast it? Surely they need a broadcasting company here to act as the host broadcaster.

Sky have the rights to it. They can still let other countries broadcast it because the contract is "oversees rights". So for Pakistan it'll be say...Geo Super/PTV Sports that broadcast it. In India it may be Ten Sports etc etc.

In turn if Sky don't choose to show it live, they can use the leverage of their contract to show it abroad and get paid in-turn for showing it.

Still got to have all the broadcasting equipment there though which Sky won't be able to because of the England womens game and 2 One Day Cup quarter finals on Thursday?

Yeah, they do have the equipment there. But maybe they see the women's game and the 2 quarter-finals as more important.

Saying that oversees bidders don't want less the the basic equipment to use when they showcase matches too. They don't was them to end up like practice games, some of which Sky also show.

Think it'll be fine, tbh.

Sky don't show the warm up games, they're the counties own streams. Sky won't have enough equipment to stay up in Scotland til the Tuesday if they're then going to cover the Womens game on Tuesday and the One Day Cup QFs on the Thursday (and if they were going to provide the broadcast for overseas TV they'd also show it themselves on the red button or something like that).

I didn't say Sky own the broadcast, I said they show the warm-up games. And in those games the camera angles are limited, as are the tech used.
 
Sherlock said:
They have. They've been showing the WC-warm-up games for a while now.
Click to expand...

I assumed we were referring to local bilateral series. World cup warm up games were broadcast to the same quality of any other international game (at least those shown on Sky were, some were only shown online).

They're not of the same quality, far from it.

On a second look Sky didn't broadcast any of the 2015 WC warm ups live, they just showed the highlights of Englands warm ups. Go take a look back at the broadcast thread on this very forum. There are some screenshots on there from angles such as spider cam. It was a full quality broadcast just like any other international game.

Not just WC matches, but they also showed CT warm-up games.

I think you're confusing a one-off tech-equipped warm-up game with all the others. I assure you not all, if any were fully equipped with their normal efficiency.

Which weren't the ones broadcast (even if it was only replays) by Sky.

It's not about all matches being broadcast, it's about the quality of said broadcast being watchable. Which they are, but no so much the oversees broadcasters are biting Sky's hand to show the games.
 
Emailed Cricket Scotland and they confirmed that it's only being broadcast in Asia. :facepalm:

That's got little to do with what you were claiming though. You claimed Sky had previously broadcast warm-up games at a lower quality than their usual broadcasting standards such as limited camera angles.

If that's true then it's a joke. The whole point is to promote the sport in places like Scotland.

The problem is Sky. They have no interest in promoting the game, only how much money they can make. They must've decided that it's more profitable to promote the England women's game in the UK. Being a Scotsman used to this kind of attitude from Sky towards Scottish sports.

It has a lot to do with what I'm stating. No foreign broadcaster would want to buy into something that has technology that it lacks in actual matches. That's why many on here were having trouble viewing ICC officiated warm-up games. I remember they were showing Pakistan play (England?) and they didn't even have replays. All was done on-field. That takes away a lot from viewers.

We're going in circles but as I've stated before, Sky haven't shown any warm-up games with a low quality broadcast such as those you describe.

Like I also said it turns out Sky have nothing to do with the production of todays broadcast (for foreign broadcasters) which OSN are handling instead.
 
I remember a few years back Cricket Ireland showed both ODIs in a series against Pakistan on YouTube, production values weren't brilliant but it was better than nothing :amir3

"Low quality" can be perceived different ways. Minimal tech being used is more applicable and factual.

By low quality broadcast I'm referring to not using the usual standards cameras, having very limited camera angles and not having overlay graphics.

Was broadcasted on a free Irish channel too, believe the game you are talking about is the one Sharjeel made 100+ (might have crossed 150)
 
Just checked and Willow Cricket nor Sony are showing the game. PTV, GEO and OSN are the ones showing it.

Definitely, along with the ECB.

Rumour has it that the BBC offered Sky a deal to broadcast these two T20Is but Sky refused because they didn't want the viewing figures for the women's game or men's ODI to be affected. As a result, they just kept the rights to broadcast and just decided not to show the games at all, not even on red button.
