YouTube confirms worldwide deal for live Indian Premier League cricket
I've just spotted that the IPL have a deal with YouTube that allows free viewing of all 60 games on our computers.
With worldwide coverage available it certainly makes any sponsorship deals very attractive.
It's also on ITV4. live coverage of the games.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's cricket and I'll watch it. 
is it cricket bananaman ? I thought it was all about the dancing girls ! 
well, that's not so bad, either
I am very annoyed I had to re-tune my freeview box and the channel I lost, ITV4. Great, the only cricket on freeview and I can't get it 
Looks like I will have to sit in front of a computer on youtube If only I could get on it at school...
Even I may watch the odd game on ITV4
They are hoping to appeal to all the Indians in Britain, but it should be slightly more widespread.
Modi fails to sell new franchises
Good. Some sanity at last.
I know $225 million, who is mad enough to? Espeically considering the original franchises sold for ridicuolously cheaper amounts

For $225 million you could surely buySurrey, Sussex,Kent, Pompey,Southampton,the seagulls and pretty much the whole South Coast and get change.
Well I wouldn't buy the whole of the south coast...

Quite right,I mean who would fancy Bognor.
or Surrey
Pay more attention in your geography lessons ss64 - Surrey is not on the south coast. What do they teach you at school these days ? 
maybe surrey are trying to sign the south coast cliffs. apparently they believe a move would be beneficial to the cliffs' development. 
I know where Surrey is, I was just saying I wouldn't like to buy tthe club
Quite right,I mean who would fancy Bognor.
Bognor Regis if you don't mind TC.
H.R.H. George V knew a good thing when he saw it.
I was only kidding ss64.
Anyway the whole show gets going tomorrow for 6 weeks - minus loads of overseas stars :
http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content … 51554.html
Adam Gilchrist isn't too concerned by the shortage of overseas players for the first game.
"Everyone team is affected by the international schedule. It is not a surprise. We are only one of the teams who are not full-strength as yet. But it is about the Indian contingent and how they perform that can often determine the results."
Well that's novel - an Indian league for the Indians. Whatever next.
I can barely contain my excitement

I watched for less than half an hour as Gilchrist was soon out and when Gibbs and Symonds were out I decided did I want to watch a bunch of non descript Indians. I turned over to watch WI v a bunch of club cricketers called Zimbabwe .When Gayle was out
there wasn't much more to get excited about except the beauty of St Vincent .
Roll on real proper cricket at Hove. I realise tv has no answer to the buzz of going to see cricket live. As long as its not raining or snowing I am going to watch cricket live at Hove on 30 March .
I make no apologies you can keep your IPL I will just enjoy the beautiful game of live county cricket until the ECB kill it !!
I have watched the first two games of the IPL and thought they were both rather good You couldn't predict which way the game was going, and I make that top class entertainment.
My angle on this is that I have tried to watch this in the past, but cant get very enthusiastic as I couldnt care less who won or lost
It's so over the top, isn't it. The false intensity of the expressions on the players faces, and the absurdly enthusiastic commentary.
Interested in how Dilshan does, but that's about it.
Strange one isn't it, I will watch any cricket on tv so it's quite handy in that respect but there is no edge of willing on one side to win or lose, if not our team then it usually may have a bearing on us.
You get the occasional good innings or exciting passage of play and I'll be looking out for Dilshan and Dwayneo but there's still something missing.
I may have to start betting on it or pick a team to follow! Who would you go for if you had to pick a side?? Or maybe the messageboard should adopt a team! Can't imagine there will be many takers for Rod's Rajasthan Royal's!
Options:
Delhi (Dilshan's team)
Deccan (Dwayne's team)
Deccan (six letters, with double letter in the middle, like Sussex).
Chennai Super Kings (almost has Sussex in it, if you use one of the S's twice, and ignore lack of x).
Kings XI Punjab (there's your x)
Jeez, I think betting's the only solution.

Nice one ard. I especially enjoy the Deccan suggestion - the trouble is that on this basis we would be supporting surrey too!
