Cricket action via twitter
OK, let me preface this by saying that my care factor for cricket per se is barely measurable on on the non quantum level. What does interest me though is people’s obsessive fascination with the game.
An obsessive fascination that leads to this fine bit of work by Myles Eftos, an unholy alliance between cricinfo and twitter. Follow

to get ball by ball commentary of any game involving Australia.
And go here to see how, Warney-like, Myles weaves his magic.
I guess this whole exercise goes some way toward answering a question I ponder every night while standing in line at the supermarket: why is Ricky Ponting on the cover of Alpha magazine?
Can I just say,
*I* on the other hand am a cricket tragic without peer.

Ohhh, you have peers, John — at least as far as cricket tragedy goes.
And I thought all Rickys were Alpha males.
Most definitely only some of them Ricky, IMHO :)
Heh, thanks for the post Maxine :)
BTW, I’ve posted the source code at the bottom on the post — looks like one guy from India is already taking a copy and going to do the same for his countries team…
