    Indoor cricket :confused:

    The mind boggles, what if you hit for six, but hit the ceiling and then get caught out when the ball comes flying down?

    I like Cricket.

    I love Gilchrist.

    I hate Ponting.

    If you hit the six it counts but you have to run so you can still get run out off the net and lose everything. It's basically a game of hit and run.

    We won by a single run tonight on the last ball which was sweet. Quite happy with my bowling figures of 4 wickets for -4 runs off 2 overs (you lose 5 runs per wicket).

    It's a great game.

    I find this link very useful, it lists the games that are on Setanta live and is updated quite regularly

    Full game replays available at http://spekyselector.webs.com/spekyv5.html 24hrs after each game... every game!
    Only fault is that it doesn't have enough Freo victories wink.gif

    Some 'mainly' AFL related stuff - if you have any other resources, let me know! Taste is personal - don't shoot me for listening to any of these... this post is simply a 'brain dump'! (All times are BST):

    - By far the best I've come across is Triple M's The Rub (Fri from 9am, Sat from 3am, Sun from 1am). Pure footy with a large helping of ego! As you probably already know, the footy commentary isn't available on 'normal' radio streams, but is available (as of now) on rtsp://bptvlive.ngcdn.telstra.com/online-radio-afl_12 & mms://wm9.streaming.telstra.com/ucs-wh_afl0live12. Changing the number ('12') at the end of these footy call streams gives alternative channels... apparently! Best option for The Rub on Sat & Sun is the podcast at http://austereo.castmetrix.com/rss/162129586585338457 (unless you're an AFL-lovin' insomniac ;)) BTW, the 'mms' stream above works beautifully with the TuneIn radio app on iPhone...

    - Triple M Rush Hour (Mon-Thu, 7am-9am with Billy Brownless & James Brayshaw) (LIVE - http://sc.mel.triplem.com.au, POD - http://austereo.castmetrix.com/rss/162129586585338454) - a bit of AFL here; interviews, news, reviews etc. intertwined with music & banter.

    - Triple M Hot Breakfast podcast (LIVE - http://sc.mel.triplem.com.au, POD - http://austereo.castmetrix.com/rss/162129586585338423) - only 'some' AFL stuff here but I think it's an interesting podcast anyway (if you're not an Eddie Maguire fan, then stay clear ;)).

    - 3AW have Sports Today on Mon-Thu from 9am to 11am (POD - http://www.3aw.f2.com.au/Podcast/Feeds/01.xml) - it's a bit lifeless but is decent for a long journey. There can be some problems listening live - only was I can listen is to create a blank text document called 3aw.asx and paste the following;
    [Reference]
    Ref1=http://streaming.mytalk.com.au/3aw?MSWMExt=.asf
    Ref2=http://172.26.22.81:80/3aw?MSWMExt=.asf

    Save and open in Winamp - I can't get any other player to play this file.

    - 3AW also do a 'Game Day' program (POD - http://www.3aw.f2.com.au/Podcast/Feeds/07.xml & http://www.3aw.f2.com.au/Podcast/Feeds/08.xml) - I haven't actually listened to these as I much prefer Triple M.

    - AFL Footy Feast (POD - http://feeds.feedburner.com/AFL-Footy-Feast?format=xml) is the official AFL podcast - it's only OK...

    - On YouTube, follow aflhighlights & FredJohnAlex. There are loads of other club specific YouTube channels - all easy to find.

    As a Docker fan, the only Freo-type audio I can find is Mark Harvey's weekly interview on http://www.6pr.com.au/podcasts. It really is a pretty poor offering.

    Does anyone have any good AFL media (preferrably audio) links from outside Victoria? Probably not, but worth asking...

    I have the above app and it's v handy. I presume it's also on Iphones and possibly others too. It has all the fixtures for different rounds plus live scores. It has the ladder/table of the teams. It also pulls articles from all the various media outlets. V handy and looks quite well too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,811 ✭✭✭Tigerandahalf


    Does anyone have any links to free live streams. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask for this or if you can post it publicly so maybe you could PM me.
    A good stream that plays the games that are broadcast by the Aussie network channels would be very handy.
    Pity that TG4 aren't showing the highlights anymore but they were showing them at a ridiculous hour anyway. A Monday night programme around 10pm would be much better. Saying that the AFL highlights show isn't great, only flicks through a game. Very hard to get an idea of what the game was like and to pick up on the commentary that went on.
