The landlord is out and it’s too damn hot to watch the match through the neighbor’s open door. Luckily, thanks to @ramishkad on Twitter I found a place to watch online – crictime.com. It’s a stream of Star Cricket, presumably without permission, but I’m watching the ads with some gratefulness.
UPDATE: I also found a legal and bit better feed at espnstar.com/live
Oh, and Sri Lanka is whacking it. Great show. Mahela is quite elegant to watch. If I could just sort streaming out on my mobile I’ll be sorted. I’ve got the CricBuzz app, but that’s just scores.
Sri Lanka’s doing pretty well so far, but it’s a game of peaks and lulls, let’s see. Sri Lanka has to win this to stay in the finals. Let’s hope they do well.
Crictime really comes into its own when there’s a test match going on that doesn’t involve India. No ads, just glorious shots of white, green and red all day. I pretty much watched the entire Sri Lankan tour of South Africa on it and it was awesome.
PS: I mean no offense but this site doesn’t need you talking about it on the blog. Giles Clarke (ECB’s Managing Director) and the rest of cricket bean counters club have claimed that pirate broadcasts online are their number one targets to take down over the next few years. Keeping crictime as under the radar would be a good idea. Again, no offense.
You don’t need any unauthorized streamer if the match is on espnstar. They have their own stream

@Rakhitha,
Cool. Thanks. I thought they stopped the official stream after WC2011 and never checked there again.
Although there is a delay of about 6 balls on Star Cricket official feed.
thats true. It is about one over behind cricinfo. I normally have both sites up when i watch. So I can get a heads up on cricinfo when some action is on the way :)
Missed our bowling spell and Mahela’s uncharacteristic tussle with the umpire. Heard him say later that he would pay the 10% fine IF he wa paid.
This is true patriotism, performing like that for the country, with no guarantee about getting paid.
Awesome game by SL!
Crictime always to the rescue! Will be watching the match from office tomorrow as well. Hope this doesn’t get taken down like Theena says. That sucks!!
