Mudguts 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 C'mon Aussies! Let's redeem ourselves and win back the urn. 2 tests Australia, 1 England is how I think it'll pan out. So looking forward to watching it at Paddy Foleys tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I'm thinking the first ball has just been bowled. We cant stream media here at work Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Aussie batting.. I'll need to DL the highlights tonight, because farked if I'm going to sit through the whole thing when it's not live! Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Seems as though it`s not the best start for England on first day, Ponting was on awsome form unfortunately!! Got pretty excited when Flintoff took the wicket, but alas the runs kept ticking over! First test OZ it seems, bit of a let down considering it was the most hyped up and eagerly awaited cricket game......ever!!! First ball was a MASSIVE wide too. Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah that first ball of the series was memorable for all the wrong reasons if you are English. Harmison bowled rubbish all day yesterday. He's gotta lift today if the Poms are gonna get into this game. Link to post Share on other sites
boothy 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Harmison has had another shocker start today. poor bugger. Great to have a day off today. Just sit in front of the tv & watch the cricket as tghe surf's crap. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Im at work but having a lot of fun reading the Live text commentary from the BBC Quote: 1029: Oh my giddy Aunt, Harmison's first ball is a wide outside off-stump. His third, however, almost finds Ponting's edge. This must be like Russian roulette for the Aussie batsmen. Harmison then sends down another wide outside off-stump, to cheers from the Gabba crowd. The Durham man's last delivery is way down leg and Jones just gets a glove to it. I haven't anything this painful since Eric Bristow succumbed to dartitis on stage at the Swedish Open in 1987. Tragic. 365-3 Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Just heard a great quote. "If this was a one dayer Harmison would still be in his first over!" Love it! Link to post Share on other sites

bushpig 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 there's the 500 up! Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks for the link but that's just another silly website that only caters for PC users by the looks. Shame because only needs Media player.. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 yep, a friend has probs viewing it with his mac. I can't run it on firefox either so have to revert to ie to watch it. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Why they do that is just beyond me. Ah well, I sent em an email to tell them that me and my 20 friends with macs won't be joining! My wife will be happy though! Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Indosnm. What do ya mean just another silly website that caters for pc users? It's the only way you can watch live cricket in Japan! Not silly at all in my opinion, a bloody great idea for cricket lovers. Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ah....I got ya now Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Oh yes, it is bloody great! (if you have a PC!) Simple streaming like that can be done for both systems using windows media player. I use it for the surfing, AFL etc etc. Just annoying, but I'd rather not be able to see the cricket than have to use a PC any day! Bushy, you said your mate with a mac had problems.. does that mean the streaming isn't good? OR he can't watch it at all? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 sorry, yeah he can't watch it. But he was saying something yesterday about a possible work around. I'll let ya know if I hear anything about it. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 They emailed me and said that it's coming soon. did your mate pay for it then found out he couldn't use it? I bet he was spewing! Link to post Share on other sites
Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 602 declared! If we can snag a couple of wickets before stumps tonite we'll be well on our way. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Lee 43 no S Clark 39 Nah, he knew and hasn't payed yet, but is trying to sort it out. Did they give you a time frame? Or just say soon? Link to post Share on other sites
