International Sports you would like broadcasted in Australia/NZ

Q-TIP · March 12th, 2005, 06:58 AM

Some people love sports. Between work and living a sustainable lifestyle there are times when people just want...More SPORT on television.

Im in uproar over the recent Pakistan vs. India cricket test series that is not even broadcasted on foxtel!

I would like to see it! Some of you may not want to watch another Pakistan thrashing...

but an Indian cricket supporter, ok mostly a batting supporter.

If there are any overseas sports that you like to see being broadcasted on free-to-air or pay-tv just list it

If all 8 games of AFL were on FTA instead of 4-5, and if english premier league was back on FTA like it used to, then I wouldn't need that frickin rip off they call Foxtel.

I would love to see le Championnat on TV. I got rather used to watching this when I was in England. Managed to get to a few games as well.

I'd like to see more Scottish Football, particularly any games involving Celtic.

And also more Champions League.

Hopefully digital will give us all more options in the future.

What about Underwater Hockey now there is a real exciting sport to watch.

Foxtel is not showing the West Indies Vs Pakistan cricket series nor the England vs Bangladesh series...Sometimes I wish Australian pay tv could just show ALL sports around the world.bash:

GOT Hm and turned the tele on, and the French Open Tennis is on...o.k. I sometimes like the tennis, but i'd rather watch the circket at this hour. :

Meanwhile, Brian Lara has scored his 29th test century against Pakistan in Bridgetown on the opening day of the first test match. He now is 3rd highest all-time run scorer in test history, closely followed by THE MASTER, SACHIN who is hot on his heels, and has to wait a while before India play their next test match, so he himself could become the player with the most test hundreds...

Leading Test Run scorers

Allan Border-11174
Steve Waugh-10927
Brian Lara-10665
Sachin Tendulkar-10134
.....no other CURRENT batsmen is close to these Top 4

Most Test Hundreds

Sunil Gavaskar-34
Sachin Tendulkar-34
Steve Waugh-32
Brian Lara-29
Don Bradman-29

I think pay tv can justify a dedicated cricket channel (with more games on fox1 & 2 when needed.

I'd like to see F1 live. Ch 10's delays piss me off.

Rugby Super 12 should be shown live (or at least delayed) on Free to Air.

Q-TIP · May 28th, 2005, 08:29 AM

^ And the F1 delays are usually after the late news "So if you do not want to know the results, please turn away now"....
