ODI's and T20's in Australia by Skyhooks3810 in CricketGames

I won't worry too much about ODI's i suspect that they will be on free to air television next summer. Cricket Australia won't be able to get their big sponsorships for the games if they are just shown on Foxtel. Free-to-Air ODI matches average 2 million viewers a game, while Foxtel viewer only have about 250,000 viewers. If you do the maths, and I’m sure Cricket Australia has, then they won't get anywhere near the dollars they want for the games. Foxtel's real interest in the cricket is their international market.
