  9. Please let the final ball of the over to complete fully before breaking into advertisments. It is disappointing for a new channel to be like this.

  10. Final ball of over as well as when a wicket falls,,,,what is the need of earning soooooo much MONEY when the main aspect of live telecast is give viewers chance to see what is happening live on the wicket....even the moments between overs are marred & as well 70 % screen is covered with advertisements when a fast bowler goes to the top of his mark ...so go slow to earn money from advertisements.

  11. I've got the channel subscribed for a month for the India Vs SA series on Reliance Big TV. But, I'm now seriously contemplating removing the serice even before the madatory one month of subscription. It seems as if I'm wathing cricket in between Advertisements and not th other way round. The screen resizes to fit in Ads, every two deliveries in addtion to those pasted awkwardly just at the time of delivery. The over is complete two seconds before it is actually complete and full 30 secs late at the start of the over. All this to fit in the Ads, since they seem to be going bust after the series. There is absolutely no sense of professional broadcasting with Ten Cricket. Hope, they dont get rights to broadcast too any series till they improve their service.

    Harsha.

  12. Yes, Harsha, I totally agree with you. I subscribed for Ten Cricket, I am on Tata Sky. The coverage is so pathetic, that I can't stand it. Screen re-sizing between two deliveries is absolutely obnoxious. The coverage is comparable to some illiterate local cable operator trying to cover an international test series with all sorts of ads in all parts of the screen. I have stopped watching the series and will think twice before subscribing to this stupid channel again.

    More and more people need to stop watching such telecasts, only then will the TRP's drop enough for these jokers to take notice.

  15. Watching live beween SA & INDIA Ond Day gives a real jerk, when I noticed that Ten Criket Live is a delayed telecast compared to DD National live. If this is to happen, then why we opted for subcribing this Ten Cricket Channel, if the DD National is giving live telecast than Ten......

  16. Let us boycott the channel if they dont improve the telecast...we are paying to watch the cricket match and not the advertisements. Let us Unite...

  17. Ten Cricket is one of the most 'illiterate' channel about cricket. The moment wicket falls and before viewer knows how the wicket fell the irritating bunch of advertisements follow and he has to wait for another 7 minutes or so to know what exactly has happened. The worst thing is when a limited over match is shown the number of overs bowled were hardly shown which clearly indicate that the people operate this channel does not have elementary knowledge about cricket. Star in this respect is the best channel. They show even the number of balls bowled during the over.

  18. Ten cricket is insult to cricket fans; it seems ; in past couple of months i've watched more advertisements than cricket.
    Ten cricket's clever (yes!!!) and irritating ploy to show advertisement on screen during each ball and at times full screen add during an over is just too irritating. And your are not even allowed to watch the entire over at times. Say a over with a no or wide ball; commercial is on from 5'th ball itself. I'm not ready to pay just to watch advertisements; is there any law to take this channel to court ????

  20. Same with star cricket. With end of every over, they will just start showing commercials during world cup. This is ridiculous. These are paid subscription channels and they act so cheap; perhaps they should beg more openly.

    We should just sue all these channels, especially STAR channels or boycott them.
