Youtube to show Live Cricket

Starting in March, sixty Cricket matches will be streamed along with an expected sponsor who will pay handsomely for the privelage, possibly helping Youtube to make a profit in 2010.

Bruce Daisley from Google UK said:- “We’re keen to see how the community will take to live sport. There’s a real interest in live events, so we’re excited.”

If successful it could lead to more prestigious events and sports being streamed on the video giant, and would further distance its reputation as a funny videos website
