Hi Russell, you mentioned the exciting Africas division 1 tournament, and while I did my best to follow it via scorecards and the like, but obviously there was no streaming service available. This is the same accross the board for most Associate tournaments.

So I was thinking, do you have any idea as to how feasible it'd be to crowdfund the rights to some of their tournaments and set up some level of coverage?

Hi Nick. I don't. There is both financial and logistical/political aspect to doing that, which is complex. I imagine the finances could work, but the negotiation with the ICC might be interesting. Also, as often as not no-one is at the ground in a media capacity, so even crowd-sourcing basic media liaison might be a start.



Best advice is to chat to Tim Brooks (@cricketatlas), because he works in that capacity, and can advise what they do with respect to negotiating rights.

Thanks for the advice Russ, hopefully we can figure out a way to make this work.
