Grassbank at providence stadium has 5 thousands fans but he never show the fans on tv when guyana hit a 6 or when guyana take a wicket.

He seem reluctant to showcasing our great fanbase to the world.

Whenever guyana take a wicket he only show the dismiss batsman walking off and show part of the stands but he never show the grassbanks.

Everytime guyana take a wicket or hit a 6 i keep hearing Nikhil and Danny Morrison say the crowd is going wild on the grassbanks but cameraman never shows it.

He only show dismiss batsman trotting off.

Very lame and boring cameraman doing CPL duties.

I wanted to make this post since last week but it seem like cameraman not following the CPL program.

How will CPL grow if he not showcasing the fans properly.

It's the fans that make the CPL so someone should have a talk with cameraman to show the 5 thousands fans on the grassbanks more often.

Seeing that you have a lot of time on your hands, I'll ask a side question here.

How comes just about every reported pioneering rule violation seems to be attributed to an Indian player?

1st there was the Mankad incident, now we're looking at this story about Mohinder Amarnath.

World's only batsman to be dismissed both handled the ball and obstructing the field is an Indian

The two most unusual modes of dismissal in cricket are handled the ball and obstructing the field; but there is only one batsman in the world who holds the unfortunate record of being dismissed by both means -- India's Mohinder Amarnath.

Former batting all-rounder Amarnath, who played a key role in India's 1983 World Cup triumph, is the first batsman in ODI history to be given out handled the ball. The dismissal happened during India's match against Australia in Melbourne on February 9, 1986. He made 15 in that game, which India lost by seven wickets.

Three years later, on October 22, 1989, Amarnath was dismissed for obstructing the field in the Ahmedabad ODI against Sri Lanka. He made 28 and India won that match in a close finish by six runs.
In 45 years since then, Amarnath, who retired after playing 69 Tests and 85 ODIs, remains the only batsman to be at the wrong end of both the unusual modes of dismissal.

You cannot blame the cameraman. He takes the pictures. It is the Director who decides what goes on the air. It is the Director who may be watching the screens from 5, 6, 7 camerad and decides what to cut to, shot for shot.

I recall previous years they were showing the Grassbanks quite frequently. That's where most of the fans are standing and cheering the most.

They need to show the Grassbanks when the fans jumping up, this will make the CPL grow because of the fans.

I see they nearly kill a man dead right there on the grass bank and there were no security in sight.

Just like the Guyana police when a crime is in motion…NO F***ingwhere to be found.

I see lots of empty space at tarouba from the overhead camera.

Games always late and delay at tarouba, ground too far away, not enough shuttle but at tarouba.
