Live Streaming and Live Scorecards - Useful Weblinks Cheatsheet

Most of the matches starting around 13.30 GMT time except the matches in Jamica which starts at 14:30 GMT. I know the timing works better in favor of people in india since its falls during the night time. They can watch every match live on the television in their bed.


 

But for people in USA like me and other places, the match timings might fall during the workday. We might have to sneak thru the work hours to check scores in the web while we are working. So I thought my list of website collection will be of great use. I have experienced some problems when I only dependent on one site. Sometimes they might be slow during the peak. Its always good to have a list so you can try out different sites whenever needed.

 

 

To check your broadcast timings, I added the chart which helps you to convert and get your local timings according to the zones. http://atm.geo.nsf.gov/ieis/time.html

 

Here is the list of websites. I have used few of them so I am adding my ratings for your purpose.
