Whilst it is possible to view the score of cricket matches in real time, it is very difficult to get at this data programatically.
Providing a customisable RSS feed, or XML-RPC server access to real-time scores would allow us to write small apps to display the data in customised ways.
It would be great with OS X widgets!
Damn fine idea. An RSS feed of the realtime scores and other info (bowlers, batsmen, who's on strike, etc a la cricinfo) would be just fantastic.
how can i put cricket score on my web site
Is any body knows how to get it . I mean if going in deep in technically i think webservice will help it out. but is there any webservice develop which gives the data. I have search on the web but getting none.
hi I love this service
I had seen http://www.vCricket.com offering syndicated Cricket Score Boards for free.
Really it will be a good Service as i m looking for this kind feed for last 2 year but :(
I have used Cricinfo RSS feed and wrote a to provide a live scoreboard, have a look at the code in this blog entry (http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/10950).
Need less to say it will work on both window and gnu/linux if you have xmlstarlet(http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net) tool.
Cheers

is anybody working on it?
Yes *please*. I've been trying to (slightly illegally, I think) scrape Cricinfo's - but it's impossible. This would be very nice for my blog, too :) Endless possibilities - county scores, player-scores (or alerts when "A.Player" reaches a milestone) etc etc
