Nice graphics.

I still get horrible 1990s flashbacks when I see that Prime watermark though

Yeah it’s a bit like that

Australia will play India in Dubai in the first semi-final of Champions Trophy this Tuesday, after India beat New Zealand overnight to top Group A. If India win the semi-final, the final will be held in Dubai.

This is why i though staging the tournament in Pakistan was a stupid idea knowing full well Indiaxs refusal to tour there.

India and New Zealand face off in Dubai today for the Champions Trophy. The match starts at 8pm AEDT.

I’m so glad we are getting US postal service ads during the coverage. Don’t Prime video have localized ads?

New ICC graphics for the world test final.

Graphics look to be the same as last WTC final.

Correct

It’s very weird. I keep getting Toyota US and Amazon NASCAR and Pharmacy ads. Seriously what is the point of running the ads?

Also, the problem with these automated ones is that, as happened earlier, if there’s a no ball last ball of the over you have to hope they take long enough to rebowl the ball so that you don’t miss it for the ad.

Do they have two comms boxes running?

Last two finals IIRC.

Such boring, biased, shallow and just not quite sleek coverage from ICC/Star.

I think ICC should follow FIFA and Olympics and produce its own world feed, and stop relying on Star Sports.

ICC should not have bidded these rights to Prime and then outsourced it to Star. Get Prime to be the feed.
