There's a post on the US forum describing (from UK Nova) how to set up a proxy for your realplayer settings so that it appears you are in the UK and can listen to UK-only content. http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=362401

This doesn't work for me (Mac) but from the thumbs up on UK Nova it appears to work for the rest of the computer using world

Hi Drew,

I remember Lancashire being in particular such a dominant force back in the late seventies when they had the likes of Clive Lloyd playing for them. I don't know if the actual results prove that but it always seemed like they had the upper hand when playing Essex.

I couldn't say if we had the Indian sign over Essex or not to be honest. We were an awesome one day team in the 70's but sucked in the first class game. I remember you guys had Goochy and John Lever. After that I'm pretty stuck as to who was playing for Essex back then. Cricket is experiencing a bit of a renaissance over here since our successes of recent seasons. Long may it continue.

PS When did you move over and whereabouts is Cornwall?

i saw cricket on an indian satellite station while in vancouver. there is a large indian population in the surrey region of the lower mainland.

We moved over here in September 2004 and stayed briefly in Montreal with my my wife's family. Then we moved into Cornwall at the end of October which is about 60 miles away from Montreal a little inside eastern Ontario.

Come on mate......Less of the pessimism.
Although it would be no great surprise if it did end on Friday. Bad toss to lose and we bowled like village cricketers for the first hour. Totally handed the initiative to the Aussies
Never mind a few quick wickets and we're back into it. Should have played Monty though.
