Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2014 -- Cricket has a lot of fans from around the world, especially in South Asia, where most of the cricket action takes place. Because of the popularity of the sport, many websites like http://broadcastinglivesports.com shows fans exactly how to stream cricket online for free.

The only negative about the sports is that Cricket matches are an extremely long game that can take up to 6 or 7 hours. While fans can watch live cricket events, like the Indian Premier League (IPL) on a variety of TV channels, many international cricket fans may have limited access to such telecasts. As such, those with access to high speed internet can watch live cricket online from their desktop, laptop or other mobile device.

Versions of Cricket

Before looking at the places where you can access live cricket streaming online for free, it is important to learn about the three different types of cricket events found on the international stage:

Test cricket: this is the oldest type of cricket, and is a favorite among many cricket fans. The event involves a single match that is played between two countries for a period of up to 5 days. Both sides are given two innings, and in most cases, the teams are found to be evenly matched, with no team being declared a winner. This allows fans to enjoy a game that is filled with patience and determination, without necessarily having any preference for a particular side.

One-Day cricket: this version was created by an Australian, specifically for the American market. It is believed to have been the first Americanization of cricket, and always has a winner. Up until 2007, one-day cricket was considered the most exciting version of cricket available on television, with each team having a single inning and each turn at bats lasting about three and a half hours.

Twenty20 Cricket: this is a faster version of cricket that was created to give cricket the opportunity to join the league of televised sports, like baseball. Twenty20 is a much shorter and faster version of one-day cricket that takes only three and a half hours. The first fame of international Tenty20 was played in Asia in 2007, and the new IPL created in 2008, which allows the best cricket players in the globe to be auctioned among the franchises. The IPL is telecast in India, and is also available online on a variety of websites including the following:

ESPN3 allows cricket fans to watch live cricket matches online without the requirement for a cable subscription. However, fans must be subscribed to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that is on the list of ESPN3 carriers.

ESPNCircinfo.com

Circinfo.com was a popular site for cricket fans worldwide, but it was acquired by ESPN in 2007. Its URL was then changed to ESPNCircInfo, though it remained as an exclusive site for fans to stream live cricket matches online. This is a particularly good site to stream the Twenty20 world championships – next in 2015 – and other Twenty20 games. Unfortunately, you cannot watch every cricket game on ESPN Circinfo because ESPN does not carry the rights to broadcast every game, with the exception of major tournaments and occasional series.

CricTime.com

Most of the sites mentioned above focus on Twenty20 matches, since they are short. However, Crictime allows cricket fans to enjoy 5 continuous days of test cricket matches. The site has lots of pop-up ads, and the quality of the streams is not very good, though it has six servers to ensure stability, and live streams of just about every cricket game in the world, so you will never miss a game. This makes Crictime a great site for cricket junkie who must see every game, regardless of its duration.

DrakulaStream.eu

This site is similar to Streamhunter and Lshunter, which crawl the web and index the best sport streams that are accessible for free. Drakula Stream has a great design that is simple enough to locate any live event with ease. The site also offers multiple streams for each match. However, the feed has numerous ads that keep interrupting your viewing, especially for better quality streams.

This is a big sports streaming website that offers all major sports and live TV stations. All links for live sports events are listed on the homepage, which makes it easy to spot on-going matches, and those scheduled for to begin in a few hours.

Cricket is not a very popular game in the US, so many sites that offer free live streaming of major sports do not offer cricket live streaming. That said, there are a few popular ones where you can get occasional cricket matches, like Wiziwig.tv, Justin TV, UStream, and VIPBox.
