The Americans who own ESPN probably don't realise that the game changes during the day...

Really?? That's pretty farked.

Crocinfo, what do you expect.

The Americans who own ESPN probably don't care.

That too.

Explains why the little screen on the top of the page has no forthcoming attractions.

Cricinfo sucks.

Can only think people have forgotten what following cricket was like beore cricinfo - and it's free.

The new format is pretty poor though, but when did any improvement to a web site ever make it easier to use?

Well Dello did give us the rating system.

I used to listen to the radio. The only interruptions were for the "Country Hour" or the latest and in the NT an NTFL update.

They've broken the Flamingbails cricinfo widget... Barstewards.

I think I mentioned that.

Good for you. I was saying it out loud.

I like the new scorecards where they put in the commentary for the dismissal there as well. The homepage is a bit rubbish though.

Still happens in the bush qmy. Roll on digital radio...

My brother hates being a bumpkin in summer. Gets most indignant that the cricket interrupts his Country 8 Hour.

Could've sworn you said your brother hates being a blumpkin in summer....

Wrong brother.

A quntry blumpkin?

I wasn't knocking it. Without the ABC the bush would've been farked for outside news.

I was making a comment on that I didn't need gee whiz technology to get my fix of cricket, and then bitch about the limitations of it.

I still use a portable radio in the summer and I get the score before anyone using dicinfo.

Or watching nein for that matter.

It amuses me that the ODI matches are shown on delay into WA.

It amuses me even more that people over there still watch it.

Still, wouldn't mind a poll showing how many country folk say "Ah fark" when the cricket goes off for the Country Hour. I mean we all know the price of wethers and calves is much more rivetting listening than the 2nd hour of the opening session of a home Ashes series.

Heaps.

I get regular text messages between 12.00 noon and 1.00 pm in summer to the effect "WTF's the score?"

At least these days the ABC commentary is available on the interweb.
