This weekend marks a momentous development in the broadcasting of regional cricket in Australia. The Western Warriors will be playing two touring sides in Broome, Western Australia and for the first time in Broome's cricketing history live ball-by-ball scorecards of all the weekend's play will be broadcast on the Internet, via CricInfo.com.

The Victorian Bushrangers and KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins take on the Warriors on the 23rd and 24th respectively, with both matches scheduled to start at 10am.

All three squads boast both former and current internationals and with the likes of Brendan Julian, Murray Goodwin, Tom Moody, Paul Reiffel and Damien Fleming taking part, two closely contested matches are anticipated.

Tobian Clayton, CricInfo's Australian Manager said "Involvement in these types of matches renews our commitment to CricInfo users to cover cricket at all levels."
