Indian Premier League - the Billion Dollar Baby of BCCI , A Milestone on the game of Cricket . We Thank BCCI for creating IPL . We are writing this petition to Mr.Lalit Modi , SET MAX and to whoever are responsible for Broadcasting IPL to the World Wide Audience .
We are experiencing the worst coverage of Cricket in the History of the Game.SET MAX a channel owned by Sony Corporation might have be huge power house and name , they might have broad casted the ICC World Cup Twice but that doesn't make them a Sport Broadcaster. Watching IPL is such a Horrible experience right now. The problems that we are facing right now are as follows :
1.AD's Before we hear the score .
2.Delay in resuming the Broadcast the Match after the AD's.
3.Too Many Mistakes from the Anchors .
4.Anchors are inexperienced and make a mistake in every sentence the speak .
5.T20 Extra Innings - the Pre/Post Match show is the most boring match presentation that we have ever seen , 4th Umpire on DD1 was much more better !
6.Same questions asked by the Anchors to the Guest , We really pity the Guests !
7.We are not interested in seeing the team owners or their dances .
8.We do not see the Cheer Leaders at all . We would like to give you an example , Dr.Vijay Mallya gets Cheer Leaders for his team from Washington and we dont see them on TV even if his team takes a wicket/scores a boundary ?
This was about one team which has Great Cheer Leader's so i stated this as an example .

The things that we are asking is after all a few changes and they are as follows :

1.Complete coverage and broadcast of the over [6 six balls bowled and the last ball must reach the wicket and we must hear the score from the commentators].
2.Please bring in some experienced Anchors instead of ex-cricketers/movie stars/people with artificial smile.
3.BCCI ONLY - Try negotiating the deal With SET MAX to some other Broadcaster .We'll suggest a few [Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation i.e ESPN STAR Sports who Broadcasted the T20 World Cup so wonderfully beyond expectations or Even NEO Sports would be fine].

This is our request , the rest is in your hands .
If the same thing continues you might see IPL as a boring tournament one day.
Actually Speaking ICL was Broad Casted way better than IPL.
Here we Finish our Petition . Thanks to BCCI for IPL and a huge SORRY to SET Max .
