BAD BAD BAD COVERAGE OF THE 1ST ODI IN PAARL

I WISH TO EXPRESS MY UTTER DISGUST AT THE POOR COVERAGE AT BOLAND PARK, OF THE FIRST ODI BETWEEN THE PROTEAS & BLACK CAPS YESTERDAY IN PAARL. NO NOT THE POWER FAILURE WHICH PUT US IN THE DARK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR - YE THERE SHOULD BE BACK UP GENERATORS AT SUCH AN EVENT. RATHER I WAS DISGUSTED WITH THE UTTERLY POOR MATCH COVERAGE AT BOLAND PARK, PAARL. THERE WERE TWO RATHER SMALL LARGE SCREENS AT THE VENUE, BUT THESE JUST CONTINUALLY TOLD US THAT WE ARE AT THE MOMENTUM ODI BETWEEN PROTEAS AND BLACK CAPS. THEY NEVER SHOWED US ANY REPEATS OF SPELL. WHEN BATSMAN WERE GIVEN OUT, NOT OUT, WE WERE NOT SHOWN THE CATCH, LBW OR ANY OTHER ACTION. ALSO WHEN REFERRALS OCCURED LIKE THE CATCH BY TSOTSOBE IT WAS NEVER SHOWN. SO WE WERE LEFT IN UTTER DARKNESS THROUGHOUT THE GAME. WHO WILL CONSIDER GOING TO WATCH THE PROTEAS PLAY LIVE AGAIN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE? ALL THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WAS MY LATE FATHERS WORDS CAME TRUE: "DON'T GO & WATCH CRICKET LIVE. IT IS MUCH BETTER ON TV. ONCE THE BALL IS BOWLED YOU CAN'T SEE ON WHAT BASIS A DECISION IS MADE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SHOW YOU IT AGAIN." THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO. HELLO 21ST CENTURY. WE HAVE STAX OF TECHNOLOGY. MAKE THE R200 WORTH IT.
