We all love a good highlights package. Apart from re-living the moments again, they provide an opportunity for people who have missed live & who can't dedicate much time..to enjoy it later. Good highlights also help in promoting the game. Most cricket boards provide good highlights for their home matches, but it looks like the situation is changing.
NZC used to provide decent (not good) highlights on their youtube channel and website for their home games, but they've changed it recently. They now upload 4min poor clips on youtube with a promise of 'highlights with longer duration at a later date' and i guess that time is 1 year, due to their contractual obligations.
CSA has also changed their ways. they now upload test match day highlights, an entire day late on their youtube channel and completely skip ODI highlights. their deal with star sports from last year might be reason for this.
ICC provides 5 minutes highlights of ICC tournament matches on their website. these are very poorly edited. again i guess contractual obligation with their global rights holder star sports is the reason.
is everything doomed? No. CA, ECB, CWI provide good highlights on youtube. PCB uploads most highlights non geoblocked on youtube but i guess it restricts a few like recent ENG 7 match T20I series. BCCI provides all highlights and other match clips ONLY on their own website.
So the question is..what if the remaining cricket boards too take this route while signing their next broadcast deal? is the future of cricket highlights going to be behind the broadcasters' walls? are you worried about this? or you don't care as long as highlights are available to you on hotstar/sonyliv/kayo/sparksport/supersport/daraz/skysports/flowsports ?
TLDR : cricket boards going for broadcaster exclusive deals for more money and destroying open for all access of highlights. worried? or don't care as long as you can watch them on your local broadcast/streaming service?
So whether you want to watch Ashes 2023 TV highlights, listen to all the England v Australia action ball-by-ball on radio and Sounds or keep up with what's happening online, here's how to follow all the Tests at Edgbaston, Lord's, Headingley, Old Trafford and The Oval across the BBC in June and July 2023.
Do any cricket fans here find the highlights provision for cricket very poor? I know Sky Sports is marketed around live sport but many of us cano sit through sport at various times of the day and highlights are therefore a great way to enjoy and follow tournaments. Cricket outside UK summer is played in far-flung locations and therefore the times of the games are unsociable here. However, I can rarely find reliable highlights on Sky. Either they are not provided at all for some games or they are limited. One example is the Big Bash League in Australia, as I can only get highlights of the odd match. Why aren't there highlights of every game? Sky shows all games live so why no/limited highlights?
