I think star will bet aggressively for next IPL round after the 10th edition. Star lost rights for cricket played in South Africa and New Zealand. I want them to get those back I love watching cricket on star sports although their commentry team is average now with heavy reliance on Indian commentators.

It's not star loses NZ and SA cricket rights. They not even bid for that one.
Now star aggressively looking for India cricket only. So, IPL also will be target for them.
I love watching cricket in ESPN and Star sports 10 yrs.. Those days won't come back.

I wasnt aware that they didnt bid at all, anyways I feel they should bid for those nations. Fan of star sports and ESPN since 1999. During Old days Geoff Boycott was my fav commentator. They used to have a core exclusive commentators team. Now the team is more Indian, they should try to maintain a balance.

to be honest Star Sports is far behind ESPN in terms of quality in pproduction. There graphics are average and commentary team is below standards. They are trying to impose too much Indianism into everything. I prefer watching the ongoing Aus-Ind series on Channel 9 rather Star Sports. Moreover they have lost some important rights over the years like Australian Open Tennis, UEFA CL, Baseball, NBA and many cricketing rights. They haven't been able to match the standards of ESPN's Sportscentre with any of there ongoing programs.

Star Sports is not interested in any other country. It's only motto is be indian and show indian. That's why it has the rights to AFC Asian Cup football but have not shown a single match till date. Even though the timings are in the afternoon. It will show India internationals on 3 channels and Ranji Trophy on 2 channels. It feels that is the only way it can recoup the huge rights fees it has paid to Bcci and ICC!!!

In times, Neo Sports showed cricket they tried to broadcast each nd every ranji games...!
The problem with star sports India is that they have 365 days of live sports bt since Indians prefer to watch Cricket More they have 3 cricket channels
Star Sports 1- 100% cricket.
Star Sports 2-80% cricket.
Star Sports 3-100% Hindi Audio Cricket.
So they try to neglect other Live events as they have low Trp's than cricket highlights...
