Also you might wanna try this program called PPLive, its again a Chinese program and free but a much better version of Coolstreaming and might be showing it.
Cheers :D
Btw, how do you find out the schedules of either Coolstreaming or PPLive? All I could get was Chinese/Japanese listings.
Ask SnnYQuote:

Not sure either, it's pretty much guess work. Unless you can find an English site with TV listings for the following channels:
ESPN Star Sports
CCTV5
Also Coolstreaming does not work anymore and the guy who made it released a new version to fix some server problem, i can get a URL for it if you want.
PPLive download: http://www.pplive.com/download.aspx
Install it, run then in the system tray double click the item and it loads a website with links to loads of channels (in Chinese tho :( )
That's not a bad plan - the Babel thing, I might give you a shout later, thanks.
SnnY is busy with wordery in a strange city atm, I think.
I was watching stuff on Coolstreaming this morning, so I guess I have the new version now.Quote:

Definitely. If they win this then they'd be clear favourites in my eyes.
Tho' if they get Flintoff out cheaply tomorrow and England struggle to only 400 then the Aussies are in with a great chance of winning this one. Particularly if the wicket deteriorates on Saturday so that Warne can exploit the rough.
Warne bowled really defensively today (mostly around the wicket so he couldn't be hit around the field much) but once the pitch is more receptive, he will be bowling agressively and taking wickets. Plus McGrath and Gillespie can only get better next time out.
England won't have it so easy in the next innings.
Rain has stopped play with England 375-6.
Bell was the only wicket of the morning, Lee had him caught hooking before he could add to his overnight tally.
Forecast is bad tomorrow too, this could play out into a draw :(
23 off the last two overs (Warne and Lee). Both Flintoff and Jones are hitting out with style.
To attempt to stem the flow of runs, Ponting decides to bring Gillespie on for his first spell of the morning.
This is met with ironic cheers from the crowd :D :lol:
Both Flintoff and Jones have gone before getting a half century. England are now 434-8.
Gillespie got one of the wickets.
http://moderation.invisionzone.com/s...fault/dabs.gif
Just turned it on, England all out for 444, Australia are 49 for 0.
82-3 now, England have had 2 wickets right after tea break. Ponting went first then some other random bloke.
We were lucky to get that other random bloke out, Giles' ball pitched outside the off stump and hit his pad outside the off stump.
Still, you gain some dodgy lbw decisions and you lose osme dodgy lbw decisions.
Looking good for teh Ingerland ... must be 'cos Adster's not posted today :P
Giles just clean bowled Damien Martyn!!! :w00t:
Warne didn't bowl many better than that yesterday, if any.
Australia 128-5 :01:
Richie Benaud and Geoff Boycott on the tele are saying that the ball Giles just bowled is reminiscent of the pearler Warne bowled out Gatting with all those years ago.
Spose it was, really ... .
Warne is gonna have a field day tomorrow.
:01:
Clarke might not be able to bat, neither. Bad back or something.
The commentator chaps are saying how much of a shame it would be if he couldn't make it out to the middle, 'cos he's a fine young player.
I quite agree :shifty:
Making them follow on would be so good :01:
Not if we make them follow on! :01:Quote:

well jinxed :D
Gilchrist has gone to Jones the Ball - caught by Jones the Glove.
I do feel foolish now that he didn't make a century. I do hope that my other prediction doesn't fall by the wayside.
:shifty: :shifty: :shifty:
Australia 197-7 - Freddie Flintoff strikes again :01:
news falsh warne is the only aust batsam that can... errrrr bat at the moment
there all making starts and then getting out probaly wotn avoid teh follow on but I was england I wouldnt enforce it!!! i wouldnt want to bat 2nd
They'll only enforce it if the weather is bad tomorrow - no option but to do that, I reckon.
You're right about batting last. Btw, did you see Ashley Giles, the king of spain's, ball to get Martyn out?
Fecking quality.
If the follow on is available they will enforce it.
When was the last time it was an option for Engerland against t'Aussies ffs.
That and the fact that they are on a high just now, why risk passing the momentum over.
Hoi! This is serious stuff, JP. We're not talking about t'arras now.
Vaughan doesn't strike me as the romantic sort and he will do what's best for the team, which is make 'em follow on if the weather looks bad or tell his team to set them a target of 400+ in 4 sessions. England's first innings total isn't enough and the last time Australia followed on, they won (against India) :dabs:
Enforcing follow-ons is over-rated anyway, making your bowlers try get 20 wickets in one pop is asking a lot.
The last time England made Australia follow on, btw, was back in 1987. At least I think that's what Richie Benaud said earlier.
its set to piss down all day tomorrow

I was thinking more of the psychological element rather than anything else. However we have previously established that you are more of a cerebral, book learning type dude, whilst I am a more intuitive, people type person.
I think the game is won in the head (like t'Aussies do), you think it is won on the playing fields, with tactics and rannygazoo.
If Engerland want to consistantly win stuff they have to be more Shane Warnesque, swagger out there and show a bit of spunk
:DQuote:

It is to the selectors' collective credit that they are not and have instead chosen a more cerebral, book learning type dude to captain the side :P
Tactical rannyganzoo > Gung-ho hullaballoo.
A mix is nice, which is what the Aussies have always had, until now. Border and Taylor were the former, presiding over exuberant sides full of dickheads like Healy.
Ponting has a bit of both about him but tends toward the gung-ho - this is where his mate Lehman came in. Always on hand to offer a word or guiding hand, I think Ponting misses him a lot. Now he asks Warne or McGrath, who encourage his reckless side (re: winning the toss in the 2nd test and putting England in to bat).
They can probably get away with it tho' - since they're awesome and spunky.
So a mix you say, some form of "best of both worlds type scenario".
Your ideas interest me strangely, I must think on this.
Thank you my sleep deprived Welsh ninja chum.
Sleep?
