Listen Up!

For those of you who can't live without the sound of domestic cricket while the snow flies and wind howls, here are a few links that you may find interesting.

This is the distillation of several years of time wasting and may help MTWD members waste more of theirs! And on a more serious note, if you'd like to hear some of the up and comers who England will be playing against in the near future (people like New Zealand's Ross Taylor, Australia's Tim Payne, West Indies' Kieron Pollard, Lendl Simmons, etc.), hear them here and you too can become an expert cricket analyst!

Links to free Internet radio comms for the domestic leagues that I have found. Enjoy!

West Indies (1st class matches, usually from about 2:00 pm London time. From January 4 through beginning of March) one day matches, usually two days after the first class matches end, from about 1:30 pm London time. Check the fixture list at:
