I am wondering how I can follow the cricket from Hong Kong? And the last State of Origin match

I am wondering how I can follow the cricket from Hong Kong?

The old fashioned way. Cricinfo provides a ball by ball coverage.

I cannot see how anyone can say Australia is going to whitewash the Poms. In my opinion Australia has lost their aura of invincibility and is only a shadow of Australian cricket teams of the past 20 years. That being said I still think Australia will win the Ashes but it will be a close battle....

That is my fall-back. But will try to find at least streaming audio commentary if I can. Its often only available outside Australia due to media contracts, so may be able to access from Hong Kong.

I agree its going to be a close series and could go either way, which is all the more reason to want to follow it closely.
