Hi Everyone...

'The greatest Game On Earth'

With the Ashes series about to start in a couple of days I was thinking about the best was to get regular updated scores and stats to my N900, I know about:-

http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_spo...ntext=cps_ukfs

but if anyone has any other/better ways, could you share them here please.

If you want to watch live cricket on the N900, you can watch it via the inbuilt media player from this website.
www.tvnsports.com. Of course it is not free but it has very good quality dependable streaming and i use it.
After logging in, just press the media player symbol on the wmv stream and it opens in the default media player. Works on 3G also.
Remember it works only with extended decoders with the enhanced power kernel.

Does the feed reader auto-reload quickly enough?

That sounds good, I was wondering whether there was anything other than the rather heavy BBC page - not that I'll be watching live commentary with it in the wrong timezone, but good to know.
