Graham McKechnie Cricket followers from some of the most remote parts of the globe have been following the Cornhill Test Series between England and West Indies, thanks to the live audio commentary service on www.ECB.co.uk/live. The commentary team, which can be accessed on the CricInfo powered site and is headed by Ralph Dellor alongside Tony Cozier, Jack Bannister, Colin Croft, Jed Pitman, Neil Foster and Derek Pringle, has received emails from countries as diverse as Finland, Indonesia and Nepal. With the fifth and decisive Cornhill Test taking place this week, the commentary service will continue to bring cricket live to supporters in non-cricketing countries. "Who would have dreamed of listening to a test match in England in Miami," emailed West Indies supporter Peter Thomas during the Headingley Test, while a listener in Alaska told of how hearing the cricket from Manchester made the approaching snowy season more bearable. The Fifth Test Match between England and West Indies is played at The Oval. Play begins at 1100 BST (1000 GMT) with the commentary beginning at 1055 (0955 GMT) on www.ECB.co.uk/live.
