So, the other day I was trying to catch the cricket match, but I was stuck in the car. No worries, I thought, I’ll just tune into the radio. Easy, right? Well, not quite. First off, I had to figure out which station actually broadcasts the games. After some fiddling around, I remembered that BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra is a good bet, at least in some places. But then I’m in India, so that wasn’t going to work.
Then I hit the internet, searching for the frequency in India. Found out that 100.7 FM usually carries live commentary for Indian matches. I tuned in, and boom, there it was! Perfect timing, too, since the World Cup matches were going on. I could hear every ball bowled, every cheer from the crowd – it was like being there, but without the hassle of the stadium crowds.
- First, I used my car radio and turned the dial to find the right FM frequency, which in my case was 100.7 FM.
- Once I found the station, I just kicked back and enjoyed the game.
Here’s how I got it working:
Later on, I was curious about how to listen on my phone since that’s often more convenient. Turns out, there’s a Cricket Australia app you can use to listen on your mobile during the summer. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds super handy. I downloaded the app and will definitely give it a shot next time.
I also stumbled upon something called Cricket World Radio, which apparently streams live over the internet. It sounded cool, but I didn’t get around to trying it out. Maybe it’s something worth exploring if you’re really into cricket and want to catch every game no matter where you are.
Anyway, listening to the match on the radio really brought the excitement of the game to life. Even though I was just sitting in my car, I felt totally connected to the action. It’s a great option for when you can’t watch the match but still want to follow along. And for someone like me, who loves cricket but hates missing out, it’s a total game-changer. I even found some TalkSport which also broadcasts but about football not cricket, it’s boring for me, just skip it.
It was a bit of a journey to get it all set up, but totally worth it. Next time you’re stuck somewhere without a TV, give the radio a shot. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
