You will not be able to tune into something from the UK or Australia unless you have a shortwave radio though sometimes they do show it live on Cable TV on at least one sports channel like Ten Sports or Star Sports or whatever. So you need to be in front of a TV all the time!!!

Cheers,

The Ashes will probably be shown live in India on Espn /Star Sports. You should be able to watch bits and pieces at hotels, bars etc. Of course you can get live scores online at Cricinfo and they may have some kind of daily audio highlights as well.

Don't worry about it Bec, I can tell you it'll be a 5-0 victory to AUSTRALIA. That'll save you some toruble.

Someone called New-South-Welshman with a cocky prediction: Glenn McGrath is it you? Mind you don't tread on any cricket balls.

Hey NSW. Don't get too cocky or the Barmy Armny will start editing your posts.

Ooops someone already did!

So how does it feel to be a British guy in Aussieland when they have the Ashes played there?

Cheers,

Haha. Pretty funny, Goebbels. Hey, how about England getting beaten by all these minor Australian state sides? Now that's funny! I seriously can't see England winning any games because Australia has more bouncier pitches than in England.

You would not believe how many English people I am starting to see in Sydney now with their cricket/rugby/soccer jerseys on. I am loving it! So many Brits will be flying back home in Januarywith their tails between their legs.

I don't know for sure, but my experience is that pretty much any international match will get covered on one of the channels. India is a good country for the cricket fan to live in.

ESPN is showing the Test matches,and ESPN-Star will show the VB ODIs as well.
Oh, and Oz are gonna win 5-0..
