[PAKMAN]

hmmmm looks quite balanced ,should be a good game

 

[dinu23]

yeah, should be a good game. but damn it's not going to be shown on TV.
Cricinfo ur my hero!

 

[honestbharani]

really, not gonna be shown on TV, why?

 

[dinu23]

oh, the TV channels we have here are crap. there used be star sports, but not anymore :-(
the only option for a sports fan is to get Cable TV to get full sports coverage, but it's expensive.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I don't think there's any coverage of it in Australia either.

 

[dinu23]

International IX won the toss and put mcc in to bat.
mcc: 40/1
Flemming batting beautifully.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yep. Listening to it on BBC radio and watching on cricinfo. No TV coverage here at all.

Vaas bowling very nicely.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Vaas bowls Ganguly for 14.

C'mon international XI!

I'd like to thank bbc.co.uk for this live radio. Excellent.

What do you think of the commentators Faaip? They tend to vary from county to county, this London lot are alright but my favourites are the Derby commentators, especially if Chris Bassano helps them out. Unfortunately the BBC comms tend to make a lot of mistakes "Greg" Flower for example.

Fleming on 47* and facing Cairns.

They're nothing special I don't think, but they aren't awful like Dean Jones or Jeff Thomson either. Certainly not painful to listen to.

Anyone else finding the cricinfo score lagging WAY behind?

 

[Barney Rubble]

My school band are playing during the innings break - they get to watch the MCC innings for free........I tried to weasel my way into the trip but they were having none of it.

 

[_Ed_]

Cairns gets Fleming out! 62 from 59 balls.

 

[Loony BoB]

SP Fleming c Ntini b Cairns 65 (61b 10x4 1x6), actually! Unless Cricinfo screwed it up

 

[_Ed_]

Radio commentators say 62...we'll know the real score one day!

 

[shaka]

62 it is

 

[_Ed_]

MCC end up with a big score, 327/7. Can the International XI chase that? We'll have to see. They do have Sehwag, Jayasuriya and Cairns!
