If you're a cricket fan who happens to be stuck far, far away from people who care about cricket, like say, America... there is a solution!
If you have access to the Internet, and half decent bandwidth you can download a program called sopcast, (program download here) which is a clever spin (probably from off to leg...) on bitTorrent, and other p2p sharing protocols - basically it allows one 'broadcaster' to share a channel as a torrent, allowing for other watchers to pass bits on to each other after they watch them.
It's kind of like watching TV at someone Else's house, except you bring their TV over to your house. Oh, and you don't know who they are. And then you send your TV over to some other random strangers house. Okay, so it's nothing like that at all....
Anyway it seems to work pretty well for me. The odd dropout, but hey - it's free - so who's complaining?
Channel 21237 has the Cricket World Cup - C'mon Aussie!
