Some of the messages you've sent us


name: John Moore

comments: Greetings from the Arctic Circle in Northern Finland! Its really a great team you have there, excellent to hear the banter between you all, and the obvious depth of knowledge of the game.

Name: Karen Passmore

comments: As I put my shoes on and prepare to head off to work....it's fantastic to know that even in Alaska I can listen to test matches LIVE. Thank you gentlemen, and thanks

name: Grant Smith

comments: Nearly thirty years ago I moved to Canada and I love being in Canada. However, there are 2 things I dearly miss, Fish and chips and Cricket especially test matches. As you know, they, are like religion to Yorkshire men. Keep up the good work, you sound just as good as John Arlott used to.

name: William Symonds

comments: Wonderful to hear this - it is now Saturday evening in Jakarta, Java and we have cancelled our evening out to listen to this great test match. Thanks to you all.

name: Prabal Adhikari

comments: Thanks for the commentry. I am from Kathmandu, NEPAL. I am enjoying the commentary since my parents are busy with the TV. So, I had to log on to keep myself up-to-date with my favourite team, ENGLAND.

name: Luke Whitehouse

comments: Just a little note to say how brilliant it is to listen to this commentary. I am working in Venezuela and, despite being so close to the Caribbean have to put up with baseball everywhere and absolutely no cricket. So, now that I have eventually worked out how to install all the bits and bobs you need to pick you up, I am very relieved I can actually catch live coverage of England doing well for once. Hopefully we'll apply lots of pressure in their second innings.

name: Dennis & Ann James

comments: Its with pleasure that my wife & I sits a home in Toronto, Canada enjoying your commentaries and feeling very proud of our West Indies under 15 team. We would like to extend our thanks to all the commentators and bodies responsible for this broadcast.

name: Peter Thomas

Thanks for a wonderful service. Who would have dreamed of listening to a test match in England in Miami? The wonders of technology. Some years ago the WI was playing England and I had managed to call my brother on a playing day and he let me listen to an over on the phone.

I feel a little less nostalgic being away from the WI because of you. Thanks again.

name: Norman Hoyes

comments: I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. . . I'm a Jamaican living in Atlanta USA.

I have been listening to the broadcast over the Internet. When Lara reached his 70's today, I became excited and decided to spring for the pay-per-view broadcast on television.

Since then I have been watching the game on television with the sound turned down. . . Even though there's a time delay of over a minute between the Internet the television broadcasts.

I just can't turn you guys off? You are doing a wonderful job? Keep up the good work.

name: Alan Wigman

comments: From childhood days of getting up on cold winter nights to listen to test match special from Australia to your great commentary, there is no better way to keep in touch with cricket. keep up the great work.

name: Diarmuid O'Brien

comments: Just to add my voice to the chorus. Though I am Irish I have always enjoyed listening to the cricket on the radio - more so than watching it on telly. Very relaxing to have it on it the background or the Walkman.... Anyway, I'm in Germany now, and you provide an outstanding alternative to every other fascinating thing I could listen to around here.....!! Well done and best of luck for the future. I hope this becomes a regular feature. You'll enhance the summer of many many people abroad by netcasting every test.

name: Paul Moses

comments: Gentlemen,

Being a Trinidadian studying in the United States, live cricket has been unavailable to me. Your guys must be applauded as this gives all international people a chance to at least listen to cricket if they cannot see it. Please keep up the good work.

name: Rob Mackenzie

comments: Great to hear the commentary, we don't get much cricket cover here in Sweden. You guys are definitely filling a void in this land

name: Maurice Ellenberg

comments: I never thought the day would come where I could listen to live test match commentary sitting in my office in New York. You chaps are the best keep it up.

name: Stuart Cornberg

comments: I am so delighted to hear your voices. I used to listen to the test commentary on the radio 40 years ago in Edgbaston, so now it is great to hear this in Herzlia Israel. Thanks and special wishes to Jack Bannister whom I used to watch

name: Tony Thornberry

comments: From a British ex-pat, Cricket fanatic, Middlesex abroad-list member. Thanks for providing great live commentary to fans across the world. I now live in Kansas City, Missouri in the American mid-west. No Cricket on TV or radio, but it is no bother to get up at 4:45 a.m to listen to your dulcet tones.

name: mike lacey

comments: jack, good to hear your commentary down here in NZ. I listen to the morning session which finishes at midnight. Keep up the good work.

name: Praimnauth Persaud

I also admire your genuine impartiality in addressing the entire day's play and all of the issues (close calls or otherwise). Keep up the good work.
