It might be the biggest rivalry of all time: India vs. Pakistan. And this has nothing to do with politics; it’s all about cricket. The two rival nations are set to face off at the ICC World Cup in Adelaide, Australia, on Sunday and viewership is expected to approach 1 billion people. To put that in perspective, an estimated 114.4 million people tuned into Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 2. To be fair, 114.4 million people accounts for just about 9 percent of India’s population.

I hope Dhobi&co keep alive the winning streak. The team sucks and is ill suited to these conditions so a win against the old enemy is all I expect from them.

They have been announcing all along that WC matches will be available on Willow and looks like it changed in the last minute. Apparently, ESPN has the rights for the US and is available on Dish as pay-per-view only for $99.99, they offered me for $69.99.

They should link the rate with scores and India's win....like ad revenues are linked to viewers.

Right now I am willing to pay $0.99 for this India-Pak match.

My first thought is what happened to the rest of people? Are they angry at Dhoni or Srinivasan or somebody else?
Why are they not watching?

yes, i am boycotting indian cricket until the porker srinivasan is completely out of the picture. it's not like i am rooting for the opposition. i am just not watching games in which the indian team is involved until the porker is not associated with the game at the national and international level.

perhaps, there is a chance if you had said..."boycotting cricket until it stopped snowing"

So India is going to bat first. I feel that the Pakis are better prepared and hungrier to win this time.

What a zzz match. India trying to pull a SA level choke job here. Rohit brainfarts and then Kohli nearly does the same. Pakis looking more charged up and determined at this time. India is too timid and nervous.
