also cricket

i was really frustrated to see the cricinfo score widgt for the WC in my friend's iphone that iphone app refreshed for each and every ball

i am thinking about using wget and sed/awk to scrape data from cricinfo's web page. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Ok, guys, I have made a script to scrape data off Yahoo's cricket page and display it. I am attaching it here.

It can be used as a widget, with Queen Beecon Widget (please use search function).


NOTE: because the forum does not allow uploading scripts, I have uploaded as a zip file. Unzip it in ur MyDocs folder.

To use as a QBW, follow these steps:
a. Make a new QBW widget
b. Edit it as follows:
Change type to Snippet
Add new command
Give a name to the command
Enter the actual command as c. Make other cosmetic changes to the widget as necessary. Be sure to give enough scpacve to display the result
d. If you want, you can set it's refresh option to 30 sec to get updated results.

I use the quick-widget webwidget and have attached it here. see my signature for details.

It is a webkit view of the cricinfo mobile site.
There is an issue with th background color but it works for the live scorecards. Just click in the link to the current game. stylus recommended

You can scroll up and down by tapping on the right-hand side of the widget. If you hold the finger down you'll get a navigation pop-up as well as the general settings mode.

Ijust use this http://livescores.com/cricket.dll through Macuco, looks good and also auto updates..(Australia just lost 3rd wicket..90/3) easy clicks to commentary, wickets, score card, line-ups and match info..I imagine it also works through Micro B. The only reason I use it in Macuco is that the football scores using Macuco is excellent:- http://iphone.livescore.com/#_soccer_scores
