sky sports showing coverage of only indiaU-19 WORLD CUP games,wat a let down

[hyounis786]

I have heard from a reliable source that Sky Sports are ONLY showing India matches at the under-19 world cup in Bangladesh. I have e-mailed them and told them what a disgrace it is to neglect Pakistan matches and told them to rectify the situation.

i am comletely disgraced with skysports favourtism on a particular team for the icc u-19 cricket world cup-india.they will only be showing indias group games for the british public,i thought theres more british pakistanis than british indian so y r they jus showing "india's" group games although they will be showing semis and final.

WHAT DO U GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS,LET DOWN FOR CRICKET OR NOT?DISGRACE OR NOT?

I think a Petition is in order, as this is taking the ****!
guys email skysports to let them no ur views on this,and can rectify more probs like this in future

Sky Sports is a profit-making company and all its motivation is based on what will make the most profit - I really don't think that any criticism of their actions as against the best interests of cricket is legitimate.

And statistically:

Im happy that they are showing at least some of the matches...

After all they are under no obligation to show anything are they?? They will show whats financially right for them..

They are showing the Semi-Finals and the Final as well mate, so just hope your team makes it that far and you can watch two of the matches.

They are showing only 3 Indian matches so if India dont make the semis they will get just as much coverage as a couple of other teams.

Im ecstatic Sky are showing India v Pak... That came out the blue!! Should be an amazing spectacle if it goes ahead..
