I've long hoped that boards around the world would do this, and perhaps partner with the ICC to create a worldwide archive that you can pay to enter.

I used to watch state cricket when it was on free to air, gee it was good. The mercantile mutual Cup. Is shield cricket ever televised anymore? Even on Foxtel?

 

[Balls In]

They'll probably sell the whole catalogue to Foxtel.

No, but you can watch it online at cricket.com.au

It would have been televised on Ten had they been given the rights.

Foxtel used to show the Shield Final, not sure if they're planning to cover it this season.

Pretty sure they will do the final, and it will also be streamed by CA (free stream).

Hope that Cricket Australia's youtube editors get replaced before they start working on this footage, because the guys they've got cutting up BBL highlights suck balls. Have raised sucking the life and atmosphere out of footage purely through editing to an art form.

We already have one on YouTube robelinda

I'm sure you can see highlights of Damien Martyn batting in India in 2004 or 5 on that channel.

Plenty of shield tons

basically every game is broadcast for free through the CA website. they should broadcast and upload the games to youtube like county teams do but there's probably some issue preventing it

Competence?

 

[damochandler]

I don’t know why Cricket Australia don’t use their YouTube for the shield games and leave the stream of each full days play on there.

 

[Phone]

i imagine the deal they have with brightcove to run their video service is the factor at play

 

[Mkcaptain]

So its still up to the broadcasters to show us the archived content? No way for it to be put on an on demand service by broadcasters?

So people have to go to their site and login/register. You get their details, can market to them directly, they know how many people are watching and their demographics, etc. Enormously important data for them.
