From our vantage position in the U.S. watching the match on the PC, it’s clear that there is not much local interest in the Kenya-New Zealand match underway at the M.A.Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai (India).

The stands look mostly empty.

Not surprising considering the home team India is not playing but still a shame considering it’s a Sunday.

Perhaps, the ICC folks should have offered free admission to attract crowds.

At the end of 10th over, Kenya were 33 for 1.

Update:
Kenya 40-2 at the end of 12th over.

OK folks, SI and, of course, the players are back again.

Update: Willow Finally Up @ 5:30AM EST

Somebody, quickly get us our gun.

We want to shoot these Willow.tv bastards. There’s gonna be blood on the floor. Lots of it.

It’s 4:51AM on the U.S. East Coast.

And like all of you we too are desperate to watch the opening India vs Bangladesh 2011 ICC World Cup cricket match match being played at Mirpur in Bangladesh.

Folks, for the last 1 hour and 21 minutes we’ve been struggling to get Willow.tv (for which we paid $129) to load with zero success.

It’s not loading on TV (via Roku Wireless).

Nothing happens when you click on the Willow channel. Just a click sound on the Roku remote control is all that you hear.

No, it’s not loading on the PC/Web either.

Here are some of the error messages we are getting on the PC while trying to log on to Willow:
