Australia / India Twenty20 match to be aired in 1080i

In what's believed to be an Australian first, the Twenty20 matchup between Australia and India is slated to be aired in 1080i. The event, which will occur on February 1, 2008 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, will be shot and broadcast in high-definition on Australia's Nine Network. The announcement is coming in the midst of competition between Seven, Nine and Ten to ramp up HD offerings, as Ten is already planning to broadcast every single 2008 AFL (Australian Football League) contest in HD while Seven aims to show the Beijing Olympics in 1080i. Meanwhile, we Americans will be gearing up for Super Bowl XLII.

Anybody know if we'll be able to watch this in the US?

Yea seriously !, it'd be great to see this on the World Sports HD channel on Dish especially considering that ZeeSports didn't even carry the Aus vs India test matches...

if there's no way to watch it here in The States, I hope someone records this and puts it online. I'd like to see how cricket looks in HD.
