Default England v Windies cricket coverage

Anybody know if it's possible to watch the test match here in Canada today - on TV or internet streamed?

Have looked on ATN Cricket Plus on Shaw and they're not showing it (probably due to it being another British sporting franchise asking for a ridiculous broadcasting fee).

Thanks

Very good question...........frankly if I can't get my cricket fix then I might have to re-think our move!!

Hope somebody can give you/us the answer.

Yeah, 2 wickets in 10 overs not a great start!

The answer appears to be no, I checked the Shaw cable (Calgary) schedule for sports and can find no mention of cricket anywhere.

Does this mean we are going to need a new moderator?

ATN Cricket Plus is a 24hr dedicated cricket channel on Shaw Channel 192, I don't subscribe but would of today if the England match was on.

I've seen ODI matches with England advertised in their schedules before, so perhaps they'll have them on next month.

Will have to make do with a five minute highlights package on Sky Sports News (on Fox Sportsworld Canada).

Last time I tried to stream cricket it was very poor. Like a series of stills.

If you are relying on Fox Sports World Canada things must be dire....that channel is a mere shell of its former self. Their hour long soccer report show is amateurish at the best of times....its like some frat boys in suits reading out the scores.

I agree, I find it hilarious on how they pronounce the names of players.

Isn't that what it's supposed to look like?
