The Cricinfo ticker

I thought this looked kinda cool, but then got irritated and turned it off after about 30 seconds. The "Cricinfo ticker" is a not-so-little bar that will sit at the bottom of your screen constantly flashing cricket scores and news updates. See something of interest and you can click on it and the relevant page on the Cricinfo website will instantly appear. I found the bar a bit too large and the constant flashing of new headlines quickly became very distracting. If I want to read the latest stories I can always visit the website, and if I want to follow the score in a game there are already much better ways of doing that. Still, it is free, it is a tiny little file and perhaps you might like to try it yourself.
