TEN? F1? Moto GP? and now Cricket…expect 5 hours delayed telecast! Can’t wait to watch IPL twenty20 at 4am on TEN! in the morning…It think TEN delayed most of their telecast so their BOSS can watch it when they wakeup early in the morning….you know OLD people they wakeup around 1am in the morning to start their day…LOL…

David, do you know if Nine put in bid for this, or if Ten was the only network to put there hand up. I remember when Seven covered the Ashes in England a few years back. It was nowhere near the quality of Nine’s coverage. I suspect that this will be the same.

It’s a good deal, but I am not sure that Channel Ten and cricket were ever meant to go together….the beach cricket series could have been done a bit better, for example.

I’m lokking forward to this, but it just doesn’t seem right that the cricket isn’t on Nine. But never mind, it might then cut out some of the crap on Ten like Big Brother.

An interesting move, but with some games starting at 9:30pm, it’s hardly going to “take over the schedule”.

And of course the games will be in HD. That’s what TEN’s been pushing for the last few months! It won’t be exclusively on it though cos’ it’s not like they paid all that money to not be able to sell it.

I suspect most of these matches will be on TEN-HD.

sounds like its going to take over the schedule, I hope that is not the case.
