If you are away from the subcontinent, and don't have access to live cricket coverage on TV, try sportsindia.com. I used to follow the game in rediff.com and timesofindia.com but i discovered sportsindia.com only yesterday.
I followed Dravid and Yubaraj ball by ball as they supassed the England total of 271. As I write this I am following Sri Lanka v India. The site is just superb. No need to give up on your cricket.

I have not seen sportsindia.com but cricinfo.com is definitely a good site for live commentary. The best moment was following Nathan Astle from his 100 to 200 (in just 39 balls) when he slammed the fastest double century. The commentary is just awesome there.

I definitely followed the second innings ( I am a huge fan of the Indian cricket team, even though they suck most of the times). And, if you want to listen to live commentary (audio) for any match held in the W. Indies, go to http://www.windiescricket.com/comment.asp
Hope India wins this triangular series, and that they do not finish runners-up for the tenth consecutive triangular or quadrangular final.

Hooray !!! I am a great fan of Indian team too. To tell you the truth, I don't follow other teams as passionately, though i generally read just about everything on cricket.
Of cousre, india's at the top at NatWest. I think the inclusion of youngsters--shewag, yubaraj singh, Kaif, and agarkar--has made a huge difference. And the reshuffling of the batting order--esp. Tendulkar going down the order--has been a brilliant idea.
But india has been known to play unbelievably well in early rounds only to "choke" in the final stages. I would therefore like to see their peformance in the next round before i decide that they are serious contenders for the World Cup. Hey thanks for the yet another commentary site.
