  <title>Thrilla in Antigua</title>
  <description><![CDATA[England lost another game in the Cricket World Cup yesterday but at least they did it in style. I was following the match on the <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/projects/duckworth_lewis.php">Duckworth Lewis calculator</a> and we were cruising till the three quick wickets went down... then I must admit they really pulled it out of the bag to come so close to winning! Come on England.<br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/England" rel="tag">England</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/cricket" rel="tag">cricket</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/World_Cup" rel="tag">World Cup</a>]]></description>

  <title>Where to watch cricket world cup online?</title>

<br />
Update: <strike><a href="http://www.cricketnext.com/">CricketNext</a> reportedly has rights to stream live coverage so keep checking their site.</strike> Also, please check out my <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/projects/duckworth_lewis.php">Duckworth Lewis calculator</a> which can help you work out who's winning during the games.<br />
<br />
Scanning through the list of <a href="http://cricketworldcup.indya.com/event/broadcaster.htm">CWC 2007 licensed broadcasters</a>, it looks as though it's going to be tough to watch live coverage of the teams battling it out if you don't have SkyTV or satellite equipment. The BBC, who were streaming live action during the football world cup last year only have rights to show highlights... I see a couple of broadcasters have internet rights, but you can be pretty sure that they'll be charging for any service or <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/software.php">software</a>. Please add a comment if you know any different!<br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/cricket" rel="tag">cricket</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/world_cup" rel="tag">world cup</a>]]></description>

  <title>DL Method explained with worked examples</title>
  <description><![CDATA[With the cricket World Cup only a couple of weeks away, I thought I would go through a few Duckworth Lewis scenarios for people wanting to use <a href="http://sport.omani.ac/cricket/oneday/duckworth_lewis.php">my calculator</a> to follow the matches.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ABOUT_CRICKET/RAIN_RULES/DUCKWORTH_LEWIS_2001.html">This page</a> has the text for the worked examples but below are illustrations of what the calculator should look like for each one.<br />
<br />
</blockquote><blockquote>Example 1:</blockquote><img src="/images/0207/eg1.gif" width="608" height="269" alt=""><blockquote>Note that to get the wickets to appear, you need to left click.</blockquote><blockquote>Example 2:</blockquote><img src="/images/0207/eg2.gif" width="608" height="203" alt=""/><blockquote>To create yet-to-be-played and restricted overs, right click to the earliest ball in the innings that is yet to be bowled (black will then show from that point to the end of the innings), right click again on the ball representing the start of the restricted overs for yellow to appear.</blockquote><blockquote>Example 3:</blockquote><img src="/images/0207/eg3.gif" width="608" height="199" alt=""><blockquote>And just because it was so enjoyable, below is what you should have had if you followed the second match of the recent CBS series (described <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6350181.stm">here</a>) just as they'd come back from the second rain break.</blockquote><img src="/images/0207/cbs2_sydney_2007.gif" width="608" height="269" alt=""/><blockquote><br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/cricket" rel="tag">cricket</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/World_Cup" rel="tag">World Cup</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/duckworth_lewis" rel="tag">duckworth lewis</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/calculator" rel="tag">calculator</a>]]></description>

  <title>Cricket World Cup Wallchart</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Only a few weeks left now until the Cricket World Cup schedule begins! West Indies 2007 promises to be as exciting as ever and to help you follow it, here's a <a href="http://cricketworldcup.indya.com/pdfs/MatchSchedulePrinter.pdf">wallchart</a> for you to print out and fill in as the tournament progresses. (Actually, an Excel spreadsheet version would be better I think... Maybe I'll whip up something over the next few days...)<br />
<br />
By the way, my <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/projects/duckworth_lewis.php">Duckworth Lewis calculator</a> is freely available for use during the forthcoming matches to help discern how each game is going and who's winning. It's not only useful for rain-affected matches!<br />
<br />
Update: Here's a link to a site that has all sorts of <a href="http://aaronheath.com/sport_spreadsheets/">sporting spreadsheets</a>, including one for <a href="http://aaronheath.com/sportsheets/Cricket_World_Cup_2007.xls">CWC 2007</a> (<a href="http://www.box.net/public/5pmumfv1fg">mirror</a>).<br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/cricket" rel="tag">cricket</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/World_Cup" rel="tag">World Cup</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/wallchart" rel="tag">wallchart</a>]]></description>
