IPL

Post by Lou Grant »

60 Matches, all covered by tS2. Anne Drew McKenna commentating sat in front of a TV for the next 7 weeks.

We get Anne Drew meanwhile the wonderful Harsha Bhogle given the boot from the official TV coverage. Crazy times.

I've never understood the fascination with this event.

Bunch of mercenary cricketers play an endless series of meaningless T20 games until everyone loses the will to live and they give the trophy to one of the teams.

The fascination is purely for gamblers and advertisers who can make a nice killing on these games.

I was interested to see how they were covering it and so I had it on for a bit in the background while I was doing something else.

tS2 is a much better station than tS and doesn't usually have any adverts (which is a joy). Some of the general sports shows have been really good and the tennis coverage they do is proper quality - in fact most of the sport they do live or take a feed from another (professional) broadcaster has been good.

Stuff from a guy sat in front of a TV is generally not so good. :)
