Do they broadcast live cricket in the city where it's being played?

I think I read somewhere that if a match isn't sold out, then it's not shown on TV in the city where it's being played :confused:

Watching coverage of Australia on Sky Sports there was mention that today we'll be broadcasting in Australia

I think its Melbourne and Sydney that show it on TV live for Test matches on 9. Most OD1 and Twenty/20 are live to but on foxtel

I meant to say in the last line that 'today we'll be broadcasting in Victoria' during commentary in a match at the MCG!

They sometimes don't show the first day of a Test Match - certainly in Brisbane - supposedly because the think that will encourage more people to go to the match. Just a pain in the neck really though as it just winds up those people who are unable to go for whatever reason. Totally stupid practice, in my opinion.
