Ashes Cricket Request
 

Hi Everyone...

'The greatest Game On Earth'

With the Ashes series about to start in a couple of days I was thinking about the best was to get regular updated scores and stats to my N900, I know about:-

but if anyone has any other/better ways, could you share them here please.

RSS feeds? :) they normally work pretty well, but i have to admit, the bbc updates page keeps me entertained!!

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

Ok, thanks Monkey...looks like BBC then.

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

If you want to watch live cricket on the N900, you can watch it via the inbuilt media player from this website.
www.tvnsports.com. Of course it is not free but it has very good quality dependable streaming and i use it.
After logging in, just press the media player symbol on the wmv stream and it opens in the default media player. Works on 3G also.
Remember it works only with extended decoders with the enhanced power kernel.

coool !!!!!! i m going to try it when next match starts

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

Thanks sachin, I don't have the enhanced power kernal, never felt the need for it to be honest, but I may try it if all else fails...

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

try ci.plusmo.com, its the cricinfo wap portal. gives you the commentary too...

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

Does the feed reader auto-reload quickly enough?

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

That sounds good, I was wondering whether there was anything other than the rather heavy BBC page - not that I'll be watching live commentary with it in the wrong timezone, but good to know.

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

Does this work through the N900 browser? doesn't seem to do anything for me apart from return to the same page?:confused:

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

think its got to do with the way your browser is recognised by the site. it used to work on my phone till a few days ago but strangely, now it doesnt seem to...

try ci.plusmo.com/cricket/wap

Re: Ashes Cricket Request

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

at around an hour (10.pm gmt-11p gmt)before the start many links become available....i watched the first 2 days with perfect quality from this site:

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?ma...13&part=sports

try the links that say others. i find streams of about 175 seem to work flawlessly

Commentary(text)

http://livescores.com/ is great for Football (Prem & Serie A etc)

All fine in MicroB

neotalk Yep myp2p is a great site, I impressed the guys in the pub the other night bringing up a Serie A game :)

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

radio commentary via bbc stream is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4lw.asx

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

I would say Cricket is the gentleman's game and football is the greatest game on earth but West Indies in a mess these days and I'm not really a fan of cricket

Re: Ashes Cricket Request
 

Thanks to both Duffer and Neotalk, all bookmarked now and I think I'm set for a victorious Ashes series :-)

Don't know why I didn't think of Myp2p as I use it for the Footy!
