What a match. I was on the edge of my seat through the last two sessions - at least, I would have been, if the good folks over at Sky had secured the rights to the series. Being an Indian fan in New Zealand is an experience rather similar to being an Englishman in the United States. While English expatriates are finally getting a decent dose of football on American television, Indians in New Zealand are still starved of decent cricket action. It's a pretty rigid schedule on Sky - Australian home season, New Zealand home season, New Zealand tours and now the English home season. In the process, we miss out on anything involving India, Pakistan, the West Indies, Sri Lanka and South Africa, unless they tour this part of the world. It isn't just the fans that miss out. Sky's losing out on a sizeable chunk of viewers - including neutral observers - who would want to watch India vs. Pakistan or Australia vs. South Africa. By neglecting the large immigrant population in the cities, Sky Television is only hurting itself.
