The Sidescreen debarcle

[Simon]

14 minutes lost because of the side screen in the nz v south africa game. for me thats just not on. if they cant get something like the sidescreen right then there is no hope for any of us.
maybe we need to go back to the old days of the black sheets over a side screen with wheels and 2 guys in their 60's pushing is from side to side every time the batsman wants it moved.
i cant see any problems with the old way.

hahaha... i think you mean sight screens

power cut, according to the tv coverage

there are often problems with the sight screens using advertising between overs, they should just leave them blank. it sucks when play has to stop because of something like that.

But then again, without the sponsorship on the sightscreen, would we even be having the World Cup?

Of course we would as, they would still have their advertsing all over the place, such as: -

- Pitch (by bolwers run up's)
- Ad Boards all around the ground
- Players Clothing
- TV Coverage, have their logo consistantly on show
- TV comericals
- Iam sure it's all over the place in other places as well that I haven't added

I hate those freaky pitch ads where they try to represent 3D pictures in 2D by trying to give them depth or perspective. They're fine until a player walks across them - at which point my brane er, sorry, brain rebels.

its a fact of using the technology because they ca rather than needing to.
