Channel Nine unwise to snub sub-continent clash
|
 Channel Nine’s decision to not broadcast the India vs Sri Lanka match on its main station reflects an unfair and insular attitude.
I was all agog on Wednesday to watch the tri-nation one-day international match between India and Sri Lanka at the WACA. I finished my daily chores early just so that I could see all 100 overs uninterrupted.
I switched on the TV, but lo and behold, there was no cricket coverage on Channel Nine. Instead there were riveting programmes such as Hi 5, Hot Seat, Excess Baggage, Big Bang Theory, and Bride Wars.

Now Appu Army takes care of Lankan cricketers
|
 Rain might have spoiled many a plan, but the 6,207 people at the Manuka Oval looked a pretty full house nevertheless. And it was here that a whole new army made its presence felt at the international cricket arena. The Bharat Army beware: the Appu Army is here! For long, Percy Abhishekera was the lone flag-bearer. But a whole bunch of supporters now accompany him to the venues where the Sri Lankan team plays cricket.
An entire 100-odd bunch of drum-beating and dancing members descended here all the way from Sydney to cheer their team. Even before the match had began, Canberra was turned into a mini Kandy with Sri Lankan flags, Malinga wigs and a separate section of ‘Voice of Tamils,’ that popped a question —’Where’s humanity?’—through their red-shirts in a seething remark to their political turmoil back home.

It is often said that India's obsession with the gentlemans game is one of the great ironies of British colonial rule, and though beating England in this most English of sports is passe, having been overshadowed long ago with our life and death battles with arch rivals Pakistan and more recent epic duels with world champions Australia, England's gruelling two month long tour of India is still going to be quite a exciting series for both teams for a number of reasons.
