I imagine eventually there will be some formal distinction made as to whether or not blogs should be seen as news outlets. That is a fine line the blogger was treader, but perhaps less fine if they actually got into the game using press credentials. If they got in that way, they shoud have absolutely known better about live broadcast rights.

I feel that the guy should have been given a warning before being thrown out. I was wondering what if the guy was updating using mobile phone? Will they throw him out?

Actually companies pay a lot to get the game progress live in their website. That too when they want it in ball by ball. Otherwise in Cricket you can only display results after 5 balls. Which means the website can show results late by 5 balls. In such case usually only few companies get permission to report results on media and redistribute them. However what he has done is an offence by reporting it on website.

Interesting. If this guy was a journalist, I don't see how it's any different than turning on the 11 o'clock news and hearing the sports person report on a game in progress.

..I wonder if this blogger had real credentials.

I think that throwing him out without prior warning was totally uncalled for. He should have been warned the first time.

As you said, there was no rule prohibiting blogging explicitly
