Favourable coverage returns...on Cricinfo

ESPN Star Sports (ESS) has bagged the ten-year rights for the Champions League Twenty20 with a bid of $900 million, making it the highest value cricket tournament on a per game basis.

DIC was next in contention with a bid of $751.3 million, marginally higher than the floor price fixed at $750 million. Abu Dhabi Sports Club's was disqualified for being a conditional one.

ESS' global rights until 2017 are all-inclusive including TV telecast, sponsorship, mobile and new media.

No more snarky quote unquotes from the "Cricinfo staff", I would assume?

Hey there,

I saw that you had Six and Out (www.sixandout.net) in your blogroll. This is just to bring to your notice that Six and Out has been retired and The Free Hit (www.thefreehit.blogspot.com) has taken its place. Its by the same author – Ankit (thats me).

Please make the change in the blogroll.

Thanks
