The India/aus game suggests more interest in a knock out game by the casual. Plus i suspect ind v pak was more of a 'event' watch so some people watched in groups etc
In other words it is not perfect or an absolute reflection of actual viewer numbers. If an event is disproportionately watched in certain locations or by particular communities is this accurately reflected in viewer numbers recorded. Possibly not. The same arguments also apply to AUS v IND as to ENG v SL - both effectively knock out games and played on a weekend with limited competition from other sports, notably footy. |

586K is huge for a non England game. that is by far the highest rating non england game with only some games in 2010 coming close. When Pakistan vs Australia semi rated around 539K but that tournament in particular had very high ratings due to the timeslot. Final averaged 1.483 M England vs NZ 764K England vs Sri lanka 661K Sky would be happy for 586K for an england game. Australia vs India game ranked higher than the England vs SA, Wi vs England. Probably was an one off due to the Easter weekend and no football competition. |

It may also be the case that BARB's calculation methodology does not readily or fully pick up the effect of a particular game being watched disproportionately by certain sections of the viewing public. The IND v PAK game would have been of particular interest to those of Asian heritage or otherwise in the British Asian community. The BARB panel base meanwhile is spread on a geographical, age, sex and socio-economic mix to reflect British society as a whole.

I find it hard to believe Star Plus can get ratings of 200K. if you add up all the ratings for each channel it would suggest 60-80% of Asians in the country watch Asian channels over English channels. |

Where was KP today?
Hoping for a big rating on Sunday, the final is up against the 2nd half of Leicester v Southampton and Man Utd v Everton. Despite Leicester's great season neither are blockbusters |

I like both the Cricket and the Football.
But I'll be watching the Cricket and watching the Football Highlights, as I know if England win, and I don't watch it live, I will see it on some Breaking News bar or something. I disagree on the subject these football games aren't blockbusters, up the Leicester. Going back to Cricket, has Rob Key retired, as if he is still playing shouldn't he be getting ready for the season, rather than working for Sky. Rob is good, and would love to see him more during there coverage, throughout the summer |

Russell Arnold, is Simular to Ian Smith though, up for a laugh on Comms, and don't mind having a laugh and having a jibe made at.
Got a feeling Kumar and Mahela, might be a bit up there own arseholes, and be too serious |

sri lanka could be 50-9 after 10 overs in an ODI and he would be saying if they can just score at a run a ball until the 40th over they could still set a decent target with a late slog |

When does the Cricket Season begin, I notice there are a bundle of County v University Matches starting today.
I no Sky aren't showing any Live until May 1. But I am asking as I like to get the latest scores on SSNHQ. |

next weekend i think , the university matches are usually the last "warm-up" games before the season starts
![]() Think Micheal Holding has a similar tale! 5 County/Uni games today, and it seems they all started on time. 31st March. Wonder if it's the earliest first-class start in the UK (as opposed to middle-east)? |

gotta be honest i am not a russell arnold fan , he is just too delusionally optimistic all the time

It must be the earliest Cricket in the UK in March in madness.
But I'm sure I read that Marcus Trescothick made 90 odd somewhere last week, and that Alastair Cook played a game at the Oval |

England v New Zealand - 632,000
So a fair bit down on last Saturday's rating but about what might have been expected given it was a work day. Also remember (as with other ratings) - that's the whole programme average including a 60 minute pre-match intro and approx a 45 minute post match outro. |
