It must be tough to be in office and work while a game of cricket is going on. Specially when our team India is playing and doing well. So here is a try of mine to suggest you the best websites for the live cricket scores, updates and match situations.

-> The website also provides very good bulletins about the match. Really worth reading if you can't what the match on Tv.
-> You can find the live scores of even the domestic cricket of all the countries.
Demerits..
-> Only the current batting and bowling players are mentioned on the score card. Other information's after few clicks.
-> The score, the players name and other words look ugly as colour combination is very bad.

Rediff.com :-

Sulekha.com :-
