I still wonder why TAB is streaming game,as for spark streaming,yes some people do have slow computers and slow internet,its not everyone who is so fortunate,I dont have a problem with streaming,sky do it,tv chanels do it,it should be another way to view,not exclusive,gee why dont tv1 who are partners of spark have a hours highlights or something of matches,personally I think nz cricket have dropped the ball here,less people watching is not promoting the game,its demoting,having said that 25 bucks a month is not a massive amount but add that to sky and other things one only has so much money to go around.
Just to add,sky, have the aussie matches,I'm sure the viewing numbers in nz will be greater than watching nz matches,because it's a better product and it's not pushed out of the way as in harder to get.
