Even our domestic games are broadcast on the pay channel. So, where as in the past you could have a good old chat with all your mates on a game or two, now its only the fortunate ones (pay tv is expensive here) that ever get to see who the next Proteas are.

When the Proteas play at home, no matter who the competition, the state broadcaster also shows the matches (agreement with the pay channel). Any and all tours are on the pay channel. Even the big events like the CT and WC.

This was the first time we got to see local Indian matches though, but I think it may well become a regular feature.

Even tours not involving SA, we get to see on the Pay channel. Like ANY tour involving India and Pakistan, and the Ashes.

Well Django, perhaps we (Springboks) could do you guys a favour...If the 'Boks take the World Cup next year, perhaps the New Zealand public will start looking at the other national sport (no, not netball ) and you could see more cricket!
