Hello from the (not so) Deep South

[DaClyde]

Greetings all,

I'd heard about OzCardTrader on several other boards amongst which I trade and lurk and thought I'd give it a try. I live in Alabama in the US and pretty much just collect baseball cards. I've got what is likely the most complete Hensley Meulens player collection in the world (not a big feat as I've only ever encountered one other collector) and in the last few years have become interested in Japanese baseball cards and Nippon Pro Baseball in general.

I trade mostly on The Bench, post random nonsense on SCF and have barely used accounts on several other boards. Just looking to connect with other baseball card junkies around the world and maybe work out a trade or three along the way.

I'd love to be able to get into a game with such a deep history as cricket, but it's just completely inaccessible in the US without dropping an extra $20-30 a month on the satellite bill. Were there any cricket games for Playstation, PS2, Dreamcast or Wii?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

understandable! cricket is great if you can get into it and also if you can watch for free!
so you guys have to have satellite then pay extra for a channel that shows cricket, or are you saying you don't have pay tv and would have to get it to be able to watch cricket?



there are some games!

No cricket on free TV here, I'd have to pay extra for DirecTV's "Cricket Ticket" or one of the individual tours. I did just see where the IPL will be showing some matches, delayed (like I care if it's live) on YouTube, I'll have to look into that.

Try Sopcast online and watch some of the IPL live. Shouldn't be too hard to find streams for that.
IPL = Indian Premier League - 20 over match format, very fast and exciting to watch.
