Great day for NZ cricket fans…following this sport the last few years has been a hot mess!
Maybe D White…head of NZ cricket should retire…out hurt?
He and his advisors sold nz cricket fans down the road for a bit of lucre.
a generation of nz kids have grown up asking mummy and daddy…”what is cricket?” and us oldies been saying “remember when we had the summer of cricket…tv or radio”
I’ve taken a few bouncers to the head but I still remember this from 2019
SPARK DEAL 'FUTURE-PROOFS' CRICKET
NZC boss David White said the deal was as much about catering for the demands of tomorrow, as it was for today.
Spark uses the internet to stream games, removing the need for a TV.
"This is a deal which future-proofs the whole of cricket in New Zealand," White said.
"Live streaming is the future. It allows viewers to free themselves from fixed linear schedules to watch live, delayed, highlighted or clipped content when and where they choose, and on a wide range of devices.
Together with the free-to-air component provided by TVNZ, this accord means more cricket games than ever before will be broadcast live.
"It's timely that we make this move now, at a time when more New Zealanders than ever – and especially young Kiwis, consume their sports content through digital devices."
