Cool eh?
Let me start from here. How i discovered it. I came to Tokyo in December 1st week 2006. As most of cricket lovers can recollect, Indian cricket team was touring South Africa and did really bad in One Dayers 
and then i was hoping by making my brain believe that India will do well in Test matches. To cut the story short… I started searching for live matches (ind vs rsa test match). I encountered sopcast. It is free. I am a great fan of Cricket (any cricket match makes me feel better). In order to watch cricket matches here in Tokyo, i think the only way is to purchase a costly satellite package or use sopcast. I was skeptic about how sopcast would work, but once I installed it I was very happy.
