The VIP one I had for all of the first test isn't going. Nor was one very like this one in appearance. But I'm all set now...cheers.

I have the crictime.com one in reserve but it's not as good.

A wasted review again. We might need that later. :thumbdown:

One more out and we'll be into the tail.

Re: Ashes online?
 

That would be a diamond duck and todays was particularly pleasant to watch :)

Both of these will kick into the cricket after the boxing :thumbup:

Hopefully a good and productive day and half of batting. Then get them back in and bowl them out. Its going to be a hot one apparently.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Can't make my mind up if the pitch did indeed have variable bounce like Hussey said in his interview or if he was just playing mind games, trying to put some doubt into the English batting. At first I thought North was looking for excuses for a lazy shot but when I saw the reply I thought maybe it did keep a little low.

Either way agree on batting for at least a day and a half, the more pressure we can put on them the better.

above links are up and running as Skysports 1 - should be ok for the night :thumbup:

Re: Ashes online?
 

This Ashes series is rather enjoyable so far. Not wishing to jinx anything mind. Just love the fact that I can sit down of an evening and watch this on the net.

I even paid up for willow.tv as a backup. The veetle links are superb though.

Re: Ashes online?
 

What ruins Willow for me is the same loud annoying (Indian)ads at the end of EVERY over - even drives the missus barmy here. Anyway Test Match Sofa is a good substitute during breaks.

Re: Ashes online?
 

The Veetle link is superb. Spent my Friday night drinking some Amsterdam Blonde Lager, enjoying a ham and pineapple pizza and remembering how much I hate Geoffrey Boycott, David Lloyd and Nasser Hussain.

England playing well.

Off to bed now and fingers, hairs, and toes crossed when I wake up tomorrow England are 30/40 runs ahead with a good 6/7 wickets in hand.

I was about to sign up , but having to pay money not to pay money seemed ridiculous. Its only $5.00 cancelleation, but to pay anything to stop a monthly rental struck me as crazy. I'd have been happy to have the cost bundled in the monthly charge. Its funny the things that make or break deals. Anyway I am more than happy with Veetle.

Edit: from BBC online commentary
"Alastair Cook ..... taking his average to 405" not bad.

Re: Ashes online?
 

Fair points but Veetle & Justin TV have been problematic for me in the past (Japan IP) so I'll just cancel Willow after two months (400Yen won't even get you a beer here). I'm satisfied with the feed quality.

Re: Ashes online?
 

The point about the ads in willow is valid. Its mildly annoying, but is it more annoying than listening to Ian Botham commentate? Im not sure... I usually flip over to willow for half an hour while he is on.

As for the money, who cares? England are beating Australia at cricket, for me this is priceless.
