  • Ten Sports to telecast history-in-making live

    Submitted by ITV Production on Nov 30

    MUMBAI: History is about to be created on Ten Sports, the most watched sports channel of the sub-continent, when one of the greatest ever records in Test cricket is set during the England?s tour of Sri Lanka for the three-Test series starting Saturday, 1 December.

    Sri Lanka?s legendary leg-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is just five wickets away from breaking Australia?s Shane Warne?s all-time record of 708 victims. And on the spinner-friendly tracks of Sri Lanka and against an opposition known for its weakness against quality spin bowling, it is only a matter of time before Murali reaches the milestone.

    And the entire series will be live and exclusive on Ten Sports. The first Test in Kandy starts Saturday, December 1, while the second Test in Colombo starts December 9. The third and the final Test at Galle will begin December 18. Every match day, the telecast starts 10:30 am IST.

    Chris McDonald, CEO, Taj Television Ltd, owners of Ten Sports, said: ?Muralitharan breaking the record of most Test wickets will be one of the most historic moments of cricket. It is a record that is going to stand for a long time, and will be remembered for years to come. Ten Sports is proud that we will be part of this magical moment of one of the greatest bowlers in the game ever.?

    Sri Lanka will start with the distinct advantage of playing at home, and the only recent blip in their outstanding home record was way back in 2001 when England beat them in a Test series. Mahela Jayawardene?s team will be eager to bounce back from the recent 2-0 reverse against world champions Australia in Australia, and also to avenge their shock 3-2 loss to England in the one day internationals prior to their series Down Under.

    On the other hand, Michael Vaughan?s England side has their tails up after the unexpected ODI win, but are also aware of the enormity of the task ahead.

    One of the battles worth watching throughout the series will be between Murali and Kevin Pietersen, the one England star who has had a very good track record against spinners.
