If you use Atomic Web browser on iPad the video box shows up on the Cricket SA home page. Atomic Web identifies as a desktop browser.

They are clearly dropping the framerate by frame blending, as any screenshot you take of the stream has 2 frames ontop of each other. Its looking horrible to me, but I have several streams running just to keep an eye on it around the house.

looks very strange playing cricket in what is obviously a winter landscape.
What's up with that?
Weather might be warm there but it just looks wrong!

The Highveld is dry in winter. 
As with other parts of South Africa, it only rains in Summer. Winter landscapes can be dry. 

Good game by the way. Lets see what happens in the 3rd ODI

Strange, I was playing it to a Chromecast (via VDSL) last night and thought it looked quite top-notch, a lot better than most sport streaming I've seen.  It certainly looked a lot better than Sky Basic+Sky Sport.

I watched for about 20 minutes on my PC and the PQ never got to 720p (Vodafone cable) but was watchable to me And I quite liked the commentary. They were quite flattering of the Kiwi cricketers for SA commentators.

I only watched till the end of the SA innings and then went to bed.
