Ball by Ball commentary
Watching cricket on the Internet is water torture, but if you’re at work or worse, there’s loads of options
– BBC Live Coverage – seem to be taking a leaf out of the Guardian’s approach
– CricInfo Live Scores – the original and still the best, the have all the details and quick links to live stats
– Guardian Live coverage – some witty chaps do this, but beware of moaning about being the only one left in the office while everyone else is at the pub
