That's not entily true Rik, as Radio 4 (English Only) are covering all the England games and a few others - and all matches from the Super Sixes onwards....

I ment "only watch text commentry" as in it's only text commentry. You can't listen to internet radio of any of the matches from what I've heard, because of copyright issues. However you should be able to hear some of the matches on Radio 4 LongWave over here. I'm sure there is a Canadian radio station providing coverage.

Oh ok my mistake, as for watching doesn't cricinfo offer some service where you can watch each ball, eg as it updates the scorecard you can view any of the deliveries that have gone so far, or watch all the 4/6's or all the wickets. I know it was for the India, Zim, Pak games over the winter but can't remember who they were agaist.

However it does cost and I think it required Broadband internet....I'll go have a search and see if I can find you a link.

cricinfo do cover each game ball-by-ball, but there have been a few problems with their coverage in one or two games (I believe that they lost it for about 25 overs the other day).

 

[Rik]

Yeah Cricinfo have this option where you can watch some video footage of shots and also listen to audio and audio diarys and such but it does cost.

Cricketnext.com has got the copyrights for the WC and it is showing live all the matches( video). As far as free audio commentry goes , Wisden is offering it but it is only covering some matches and also rediff.com .

Well I know its not what you are looking for but you can download Cricket Bar from www.cricketbar.com

Its a program that shows you scores of a certain ODI match. It tells you the score. The bowlers over so far, The batters score and how many balls they have faced and the run rate. I'm using it now. Its only for ODI matches though.
