Have any of you guys watched the NZC videos on youtube the last few years?
They are terribly edited, sometimes skipping 100 runs forward, or 3 wickets forward.
Generated by a (terrible) algorithim.
Usually 75% of the comments below the video are complaining about how terrible they are.
I've even read a NZC video, where in the video description it was an explanation that the video was generated by an algorithm ( I assume a passive aggressive request to stop complaining).This was after they switched from Sky to Spark.
The ironic thing was the (longer, 20ish minutes) highlights packages inside the Spark app were way better than the paint-by-numbers packages that Sky used to put out on their satelite channel.
But what ever the disconnect between the broadcaster highlights and the NZC youtube highlights was, the chasm happened after they left sky.

I post the above, because I was was just looking at some youtube viewing numbers on the NZC channel.
This is from the last major tour by India, 3 years ago in 2020, (so when Sky was still the broadcaster).
1st test:
Day 1: 4 million views
Day 2: 2.1m
Day 3: 2.3m
Day 4: 0.4m2nd test:
Day 1: 0.7 million views
Day 2: 4.9 million views
Day 3: 1.1 million viewsT20 series:
Match 1. 6.2 million views
Match 2. 2.6 million views
Match 3. 91 million views
Match 4, 41 million views
Match 5, 17 millionODIs:
1st match: 10 million views
2nd match: 17 million
3rd match: 2 million -
91 million views for 1 video (That was a T20 that went to a super over and India won, same with the next highest 41 m).
4.9 million for day 2 of a test but 0.7m for the day before. What was the difference? The title of the video included a gushing description of a truely incredible Jadeja catch.
Doing some googling. A five minute video with a single unskippable add - earning minimum of 2c per view. That 3 year old T20 video with 91m views has earnt 1.8 million dollars. And it is still there, still earning with zero further investment.
Now a 10 minute video of Test match day would have 2 unskippable adds.

But this is clever. Someone there has found footage of Dhoni bowling and Kohli keeping (when Baz got his triple and they were tired) and posted that quirk as a short video in the NZC channel.
Posted 7 months ago, from a match almost 11 years ago. Already has 9.3m views.
That person (not algorithm) has earned NZC probably approx 200k in 7 months. From a 11 year old match.
I wonder what their salary is? -

@Chris where did you find that info?
It was sent to me by Cricket Australia yesterday, they send out that sort of stuff to Coaches at Rep level and above.
It probably is on line somewhere by now I would think.It was on reddit before I even woke up yesterday

Heading in to the Series against Pakistan,SA and Australia the biggest concern for me is the dramatic drop off in form of Devon Conway, since the opening game in the WC he has not achieved much,
Watching him bat yesterday were he was dropped 2 balls in a row the snicked off on the 3rd delivery was concerning 3 poor shots in a row is un Conway like.
11 ODi and 2 tests and a game for Welinington since then and he has looked out of form by a big margin. -
