A POWER problem at the Gabba meant BT Sport was forced to broadcast the fourth day of the First Test using just ONE camera.
Viewers around the world missed out on five-and-a-half overs of England’s second innings when host broadcaster Fox Sports’ world feed went down.
That meant BT Sport and Australian broadcaster Channel Seven were unable to show live footage.
But BT Sport improvised and set up a single camera positioned on the third man and long on boundary.
And that was not the only issue caused by the power outtage.
All technology around the ground went down for around 25 minutes, including DRS.
Cricket Australia tweeted: “There’s a power issue at the Gabba affecting the broadcast around the world. Hopefully back ASAP!”
Sir Alastair Cook, who has been providing analysis for BT Sport, commented: “This is like what my dad used to record watching me play in the back garden.”
