Answer 2

*** Update - I just found NZ radio are covering it on this website, http://www.radiosport.co.nz/ just click on the Listen Live button to get the live stream - Australia batting after winning the toss ***

Official Cricket Australia website has following infomation regarding ABC audio:

Cricket Australia has had a long and successful partnership with the ABC, and last year offered streaming ABC audio to Australian listeners.

This season, coverage has been extended to all countries that are not contractually restricted. The countries that are contractually prohibited to access the audio, and can not access the audio stream are:

Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Canada,Cambodia, China, Cyprus, East Timor, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guam, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Macao, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico,Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Caledonia, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, UAE, Ukraine, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Yemen

So if you are in Spain you therefore should be able to get the streaming radio online at either http://www.abc.net.au/radio/listenlive.htm
or try http://www.abc.net.au/cricket/default.htm

I'm in Poland so I'll be listening in as well, starts about 1am here, only 11 hours to go!

Answer 3

Until ten minutes ago I was picking up coverage on the internet via the Radio 4 LW stream on the BBC Radio Player. Suddenly it's stopped - replaced by a "right restriction" recorded message. It's a complete farce - especially as someone seems to have only just realised it was going out. Prior to that Radio 5 Sports Xtra was blocked but Radio 4 LW was working.

Answer 4

I live in Japan and although Japan is not in the ABC's list, it still says I can't listen. I guess it is confusing my IP with China/Korea. I also saw on the BBC commentary page that some dude said he was sitting in an internet cafe in Guatemala listening via TMS. Tried that and it says UK listeners only, so I don't know how he got that working.
The link provided above by James F is brilliant! Actual commentary from the ground. So good to be able to hear the crowd! Thank you!

Answer 5

Abc Cricket Live Streaming Radio

Answer 6

How about getting it in the USA, none of the links posted work over here. Am V pissed off, the whole situation is a complete shambles.
Why on earth cant I listen to BBC five live extra/ aussie radio outside the UK?.
A complete joke. The whole point of the internet is to allow global communications, ie things like listenning to cricket radio all over the world. Ruined by idiots.

Answer 7

Try ABC Australia radio. pretty sure they have it. There are also a couple of Indian websites that stream absolutely everything in English.
