MUMBAI: The ongoing ODI Tri series between India, Australia and Sri Lanka has delivered a TVR of 2.12 for the first three matches.
There is a huge gap in the ratings, though, when India is
playing. The highest rated match was for the first contest between India and Australia, which got a TVR of 2.94. The fact that India is playing in a competitive manner bodes well for the ratings, going forward.
However, the Australia versus Sri Lanka match did not even touch a TVR of 1.
In comparison to the ODIs, the ratings for the India-Australia Test matches were poor. The four Test, where India fared poorly, got a TVR of 0.74. In the earlier 2007-08 series down under where India fared well, the average ratings stood at TVR of 1.45. Not surprisingly this time the fourth test fared the worst with a TVR of 0.49 as India had lost the series by then.
