What the gently caress Windies? I was looking forward to waking up and seeing the end of the first innings and then watch the chase while I got ready and for the first hour or so of work. Did not expect to wake up and find the game practically over.

Anyone know if this England game is streaming audio anywhere? Usually it's easy to find on Tune In, but now that NZvSL is over, I can't find the Carlton anywhere.

I'm not sure if it's kosher to ask for video streams, but if so, anyone got any hot tips for that? Usually cricinfo has a great stream available but for some reason it doesn't show up for this match.

Thanks!

In some sort of stupor I put a decently large wager on England in the middle of the night last night. No idea what I was thinking in a half awake state. I swear I need some kind of lock out on my offshore book account. I used to wish I had a breathalyzer on my gambling account, but this time I wasn't even under the influence, just sleep betting. :question: :shrug: :question:

Has anyone played Don Bradman Cricket 14?


IGN posted:

Don Bradman Cricket 14 may bear the name of the greatest batsman to ever play the game, but the finished product is designed to behave less like The Don and more like a certain modern day member of the Australian top order. It’s extremely capable and occasionally brilliant, but with a tendency to undo all of its hard work with the odd baffling error in judgement or apparent technical fault. In short, it’s the Shane Watson of cricket games.

Has anyone subscribed to ESPN's crazy expensive CWC streaming package? Even though it's close to the same price for 49 ODIs as it is for 2400+ MLB games I'm probably going to sign up anyway.

Does anyone happen to know if I could share the login credentials with my brother and both watch at the same time? I know the coupons thread sets up MLB.tv sharing groups every season and each account likely has 3-5 people streaming from it at any given time. It would certainly push me over the fence about buying it, but I'm guessing I won't find out if sharing like that works until I've already bought the drat thing.

Just on the leg bye talk.

The batsman has to be either attempting a shot or avoiding being hit to take a leg bye. The batsman can't just boot the ball for four.

Which is kind of a shame since it would be amazing to see a team of martial arts masters come out to "bat" without an actual bat.

Forgot to post this last night: here is a picture of the bar at 9 PM - 90 minutes before the game started. They were already turning people away.



Side note: Please bring the World Cup back to the West Indies so it's not in an insane time zone for us filthy Americans.

This one is pretty good for the west coast if you don't mind staying up a little late. Definitely don't have to see the sunrise to catch the end of any match and some are finished at a reasonable hour.
