There's always http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/odi/matchresults/0,,13960,00.html.

It's not video, but it's live updtaing of the scores.

Or here http://au.sports.yahoo.com/live-scores/cricket-scoreboard/-/2482/4
This one has a little graphic with ball by ball information.

Tune in quick or you'll miss the NZ innings altogether. After 20 overs they were 2/120, going at over 6 an over; by 30 overs they're 6/154, barely holding above 5 and over.

Thanks FW, looks like I might just watch the late news tonight to see if there were any more fires in Canterbury then if I happen to see the final score I might cry myself to sleep (again).

Take the batting power play now - Let the two last good-ish batsmen have a go at making the score decent. If they're going to get 240 by playing it safe from now on then they might as well take a shot at it and risk only getting 190 with a slim chance of getting 260+ - 'cos neither 190 or 240 will be anywhere near enough.

The last game would have pleased you more - the collapse was at the top of the order? :hmmm:

What's worrying - for both NZ and Aus - is that it was Hauritz and Hopes who got the vital breakthroughs. Reminiscent of the suggestion that everyone in the team should trundle in for a couple overs!! :butbut:
