If you have ever daydreamed about an automatic alert that
lets you know every time a wicket falls, CricInfo makes it come true.
Wicket Alert, a desktop feature, lets you continue to work or surf the
Internet and still follow all the live on-field action.
When
When either side loses a wicket, a disappointed batsman will instantly
appear and walk across your screen. What's more, when a player is
dismissed for zero, a duck will waddle across your PC all the way back
to the pavilion.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
When you first open the main scorecard at the start of the
day's play, select the Wicket Alert link from the top
frame.
2.
A small Wicket Alert window will appear.
3.
Minimise this window - do not close it. You may close
any other windows you are working in, including other internet
browser windows.
4.
You need to leave the Wicket Alert window active (minimised)
throughout the day's play, or for the whole time you want
to enjoy the service.
5. When a wicket falls, the man (or the duck) will walk dejectedly
across your screen. You do not need to be surfing CricInfo
for this to happen.
6.
Click on the "Scorecard" link on the moving Wicket Alert
window to go straight back to the live scorecard on ecb.co.uk
to see what has happened.
7.
If you close the Wicket Alert window at any time, you
can relaunch the service by going back to the main scorecard.
WICKET
ALERT HINTS AND TIPS
For
Wicket Alert to function, you need to have your internet
connection open, be using a browser that supports java, and
have the Wicket Alert window active.
Wicket
Alert will work best if you are using a workplace network,
but will work equally well if you are online whether or not
you are using CricInfo.
If
you are disconnected at any time, and your Wicket Alert
window remains open, you do not need to reload the application
when you reconnect.
If
the Wicket Alert window disappears, go back to the scorecard
to reload the application.
