12:00PM Angus Kidman | Cricket tragics will put up with just about anything to get a fix of willow on leather, but if you’re going to take the day off work (or stay up half the night) to watch a televised match, it helps to know if it’s likely to be rained out. Weather Underground’s provides forecasts for all scheduled ICC matches, with hour-by-hour predictions and Google Maps links to the venue. The same site also offers weather predictions for a bunch of other sports, but cricket is the most relevant to an Australian audience. For further cricket tech, don’t forget the official Cricket Australia YouTube channel and the cricket travel tracker

3:59PM Angus Kidman | If wall-to-wall TV broadcasts of cricket over summer aren’t enough for you, Cricket Australia has the solution: its own YouTube channel for even more leather-and-willow goodness. The channel’s currently dominated by background information on current players and recent activities, but Cricket Australia is promising more archive footage in the future.

4:30PM Angus Kidman | If you fancy watching the Australian cricket tour of India over the next month, going mobile might be your best bet. Telstra will be streaming live coverage of the tour, which begins on October 9, via its Next G network. Of course, that amount of streaming media doesn’t come cheap — it’s $3.95 for a day pack or $9.95 for a monthly. If you’re interested (and already have a Next G phone), the latter is obviously a better deal.

11:30AM Angus Kidman | With Beijing 2008 now a distant memory, the Australian Institute of Sport is already trying to track down any potential medal winners for London in 2012 — and now it’s added a web twist to the process. Its eTID (Electronic Talent Identification And Development) site lets budding young athletes submit their results in a series of general and sports-specific tests, and invites youngsters with above-average results to visit the AIS for more testing and possible placement in a scholarship program If your offspring (or cousins) are showing potential in school sports, this is a relatively pain-free way of finding out if they can go further.
