First ODI Match WI vs Australia
Mood:  party time!
Now Playing: Pyar kiya to dewaana
Topic: Cricket

So, our first ODI was today with Australia ... after a long time ... and WI did not disappoint - we went out in style!We out down in our 46th over with 116 runs yet to be made! At least Lara made 58 ... disappointed that Chanderpaul got out on 46 - could have at least made his half century. Well at least we did better than I thought when I first put on my computer (yup I had to use live cricket scores from Cricmania and ball by ball commentary from Cricket.org ). I was trying to see if I could find a live radio station on the internet with the cricket commentary ... I think Ritch used to know one - so got to contact him find that one ... because this ball by ball commentary is fine for a test match ... but I need live commentary for an ODI ... to feel the excitement. Well ... all this searching for radio stations have not been vain either, since I found a radio page that is playing Indian music! I am not sure if it is just one string of songs that will loop ... but will have to see ... it turned out to be a Guyanese radio. So, far it is good ... lots of old songs ... and interspersed with some songs from the 90s ... got no problem so far. Anyway, got to go do some work ... this was one of my procrastination schemes.

Append (17 Jan): Turns out the website on which the radio I found is just a link to the real radio station ... which is Curry Radio ... turns out the site just usually plays that radio when you open that page ... but the radio is actually a Trinidad station ... but it plays mostly remix and some soca and chutney ... must have been lucky to get pure film music that day ... but it is not too bad ... since it reminds me of home
