Like him without the dining his better half bit. Say "happy birthday" to her though from me.

I also "watch" cricinfo ball by ball description and sometimes if I have the new and improved (much bloody harder) "Stick Cricket" open I have a chuckle at their unashamedly biased coverage.

I am quite interested in finding that "Sketchy torrent operating out of Bangkok" though, so if anyone finds any links to radio or moving pictures, feel free to share the news.

 

Might be home around Easter so Premiere or Lijepa lopta could be good. 

Not sure about Sopcast. Do they do cricket? I had half an eye on the Villa-Arsenal game on my computer last night. The quality's pretty good - I get to it through the Live Footy site.

Otherwise Cricinfo commentary is ok. Not as witty as OBO on the Graun but an update delay could mean a wicket; so it's almost like being there.

Then again, I liked Cricinfo's line 4 overs into Scotland's reply yesterday:
- Bracken to Watts, 1 run, dropped by a flying Watson at second slip. Has he dropped the World Cup?!

Cricinfo and maybe Radio 5Live while at work.
5Live when at home in the evenings.
BBC highlights before going to bed.
A decent pub showing Sky during afternoons on the weekends.

Of course my good lady may not be able to put up with too much of it.
But still, that's the plan.

I've heard from another place that sopcast are delivering the goods ...

If anyone gets it to work will they PM me to explain what to do. It looks as if it will work, but the interface is not too clear in the "which buttons do I press to watch?" department.

In the meantime while I try and work it out, all of us without access to a Sky dish, this is a useful link for good extended highlights.

You shuld be able to watch live here from work, home etc.

Picture is good and saves having to go on Leo to watch a match.

From your friends in Munich all the best.

Nice one, cheers!

I tried sopcast the other night but it kept freezing. Will give this a go.

Chopper, you are an official friend of Ljubljana CC for life. A few blokes might be wanting to buy you a beer, when the Munich express rolls into town. Unbelievable being able to watch cricket at home.

 

It works. Me, Joel and Fish all watching at separate locations. First you must download Sopcast All in One for Windows at this address

http://www.myp2p.eu/Programs/Sopcast.htm


Install the program (you can log in as anonymous) then
go to http://www.myp2p.eu/Other.htm
then click play on the Sopcast link and it should sputter into life after about a minute. Hope it works for you - it's very acceptable quality actually.

Joel are you following the WI v Aus on the BBC?

"I don't want to sound pessimistic but with the required run-rate already above eight an over and rapidly increasing, it's surely game over - especially with three wickets down as well! I don't feel the West Indies have the firepower lower down the order, even with Lara, to achieve that pace of scoring!"

I've never been to Loughborough, honest.

I was going to watch this on sopcast, but with the WI getting slaughtered it might be over by the time I get home.

I can't get the Windies on the sopcast today. I'm watching the SA-SL - the feed is nowhere near as good as yesterday- it keeps jumping. At first it was unwatchable then was fine for quite a while, but it's started catching again.

Oh, now it's umbrellas up in the crowd

just changed the feed and this one's great... and it's stopped drizzling.

Not looking good for Sri Lanka though

Ugh. 'Sri Lanka in a shambles' says cricinfo.

Watching NZ WI on TVU instead of sopcast, lovely picture. Need Internet Explorer though.

 Yeh. great picture. Mine froze up a bit on me though. You?

No full screen option though.

What's TVU?

I can't be rsaed to go and watch it on telly. NZ are cleaning up aren't they?

 What?! In the next room! Lazy larrakin...

Ah you wanna multitask!

follow the links above for myp2p.eu/other.htm etc

Anyone else having trouble getting anything decent with either TVU or sopcast?

TVU doing the trick for me nicely here. No joy on Sopcast and TVAnts has an "issue" with Media Player 11 (which I have annoyingly just installed)

Cheers, nice one. Ants was becoming unwatchable.

Media Player 11 - I thought this one was called Media Player Bilboa

 

Sopcast looking very nice for the Eng match, on IE
