So many people are asking questions like where to watch IPL matches online and IPL cricket live score. People are also asking questions like what time is the IPL match in IST or Indian standard timing . So I was trying to find out if I can get a good widget for cricket to add on my wordpress blog. My google search earned me good results and I was able to find a simple solutions to display current live IPL results on my own blog.
A few of the widgets did not work but the widget box gave me the easiest options..
You can check the widget on the side bar of my blog and if you want to use cricket widget in your blog simply copy paste the code from here
But I am not sure what the widget will show when the matches are not live. But nevertheless a very good widget to use during the cricket matches of IPL in South Africa – The IPL Season 2. Currently I am viewing the first match of IPL between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Superkings. Each of the IPL team captains have played excellent and a pretty good beginning to the IPL Season 2

Cricinfo is one of the best place for cricket updates. Though the website is not that user friendly or easy to navigate, it serves the purpose by giving the latest scores online. Any cricket fan can follow the scores across the cricketing world from a single window and also gives a easy facility to keep a track of the forth coming cricket matches and cricket results. The website gives cricket updates of variety of cricket games like ICC World Cup Qualifiers, Indian Premier League, County Cricket, Current and Future cricket Tours, Match/series archive etc.

As far as IPL is concerned they have launched a mini portal at http://tinyurl.com/df29zg . Through this mini portal they have tried to bring the sime liveliness as we feel while watching the games. It has interesting features like live chat with Cricinfo editors Sambit Bal and Dileep Premachandran , or the mischief gal feature where it focuses on – Diary of a cheerleader. The section is very well managed by Rebecca Lee. She is a Part of the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Mischief Gals cheerleader squad for the second season of the IPL in South Africa.  Rebecca Lee has performed with and instructed for one of the largest cheer and dance companies in the world, Varsity Spirit Corporation and Universal Cheerleaders Association, for seven years. Her insight and live blogging updates will be one of the good features to watch for on cricinfo. 

So in short www.cricinfo.com should be a good place to browse around during the IPL. Also if you are looking for live cricket scores from google search , simple go to google and search for [cricket] and you will immediately see a summary of the current cricket matches scores. Below is what I got after a live google search for [cricket]

The video section of the website makes it an attractive feature for the users and allows a preview of lot of interesting news of iplt20 . A screen wise display of the photos is a good component and displays a good usability aspect of the website.
