Spark Sport won't release their viewer numbers for any of the sport they broadcast. That tells me one thing, and it ain't good news.
I've just got used to not watching any domestic international cricket now. TVNZ was meant to have the first T20i live but that match was rained off.
I've got Spark, but only for cricket. I just figure it's a hundy for all the cricket all season ... seems readonable to me.
The real issue was going to Sky a few decades ago. It stripped it from free to air, and makes it harder for kids to engage.
I suspect Spark will sell out to Sky soon; Sky are in a bit of a resurgence from looking ilke they were a sunset company.

I don't mind the new system.
I pay $40 per month for sky now, but only when the Rugby season is on, or $24 per month when it's cricket season. Beats paying $100 a month for sky all year round.
Unlike others I've never had any real issues with streaming.

Nobody watching this arvo's game?
Might be a bit of a damp squib.
Radar not looking promising.

Covers still on not looking great, 4.5 overs is all we might get.

...sniggers like a kid..

Allen and Conway developing a solid opening partnership.
Allen 45 off 47, Conway 30/43
NZ 85/0

I'm fine with the minimum over requirements, they have to have a cut off somewhere. The only change I wish they would make is that if you're ahead of what the target would be for a twenty over match you get the win. I guess that's tough to calculate because you have to make assumptions about wickets in hand.

That's all part of the DLS. But you say yourself: where's the cut off?
20 0vers today.
You could argue less. But what if you're on target after 9 overs when 10 is the cut off?

Does know one watch cricket any more? Spark Sport seems to have reduced interest in the game.
Back on this. For me it's the balance of the calendar.
Still no tests for 3 months yet, so no incentive to put Spark back on yet for me.
If they had a balanced calendar - like a test series, then a plethora of white ball (as per current satus quo) then another test series late in the season - I'd have the subscription back on, and would keep it on during the white ball stuff, as not bothered to suspend it.I don't hate T20, I put Sky back on for the first time in a year partly for the T20 world cup . But have zero interest in watching another 3 months of it solid.
