The beeb has streaming Ashes radio cover and highlights, but like most sport it's blocked from those of us outside the UK.

BBC World Service isn't covering it, not sure about Aussie radio or other sources.

Any suggestions?

We have FSC so that gives them some daily updates via Sky Sports News, and they can check the scores online, but looking for radio or video that is live (and preferably free).

Thanks.

There is a "100% chance" of streaming of the cricket. No link up yet but watch that space.

The boys have bought one of the streaming packages, so we're watching, which isn't nearly as much fun as we'd hoped :(

I' m currently watching the domination while Gower bemoans the lack of support for Flintoff.

Well worth it.

I have this urge to pack a hamper and grab some bubbly! We had such a wonderful time during the last Ashes series--we went to most of the first and last tests and took our summer holiday in between. Seems like yesterday!
