It's looking grim for easily availble coverage of this possibly fantastic series. The rights for the series have been awarded to Sony TV Asia which is a stand alone subscription channel on Sky Digital.

Here is a link to the story:

Here's is Sony's site:

As far as I'm aware you have to take it for 12 months. You can pay €14.50 a month or €157 a year plus €17.50 connection fee.

Setanta Sports now claim to be showing the game on PPV.

I have Sony at home.

You can take a month by month subscription but when it comes to coancelling you havine to give them a months notice.

theres major confusion going on at the moment with regards to who has rights.

If sony try and show it then setanta may take a court action against them and vice versa.

its all one big mess.

itll be a disaster if its on setanta... they charge like 25 euro per match. wheter it be test or odi. so (6 odis + 3 tests) * 25 euro = a heck of a lot of money...

Setanta will not be showing the game. Sony have the Test series and ODI's exclusive.

Placebo
