Despite been a staple of English sport ever since the 16th century and with the thwack of willow still one of the quintessential sounds of most villages up and down the British Isles, watching the professional sport of Cricket can still be an expensive and frustrating endeavour for most fans.
On the face of it, the sport is a simple one and one that remains consistent as it is a sport that featured 2 teams of 11 players with one side trying to outscore the other. Each team has a go at batting and trying to score runs whilst their opponents field and try to stop them from scoring.
The 2 teams then swap and the team with the most runs at the end of the match are declared the winners.
Of course there are many different aspects that make the sport so much more interesting than that description makes it sounds but over the past 20-30 years or so there have been lots of changes to the format and that has brought in many new fans.
Of course if you are somebody that only started to like the sport with the invention of 20/20 cricket, you may not be the biggest fan of Test Match Cricket and vice versus, so why would you want to pay an ongoing and expensive subscription to pay tv cricket sports channel if you only want to watch some of the action?
Thankfully, you can now pick and choose to watch just the action that you want to watch via the live streaming services featured on this page.
From a one off fee to a monthly subscription and from sighing up to a bookie to other live streams, the options are now just as wide as the types of Cricket on offer.
The sport still remains popular in England and is a growing sport across the Irish Sea but it is much farther afield where the sport has grown the most.
Whilst a steady sport in Australia and New Zealand, both of which it struggles against more established sport such as Rugby League, it is in India where the sport has enjoyed unprecedented success in recent years.
The advent of the Indian Premier league has seen the sport become the go-to sport for celebrities and politicians and has seen superstars made of their players.
Forms of Cricket
The sport of Cricket is one that has seen continual change for the past few decades to where there are now lots of different variants played across the globe as every country that plays the sport looks to add their own twist to the sport and to create their own new excitement as players have now become global players with no allegiance to anybody as they go from one country to another and from one team to another.
Test Cricket: Still considered by many to be the highest standard of Cricket, Test Matches are played between the leading nation’s over the longest match duration of any other form of the sport.
With matches taking up to 5 days, each team get two innings with no other restrictions, so each team simply have to take wickets to end an inning.
The first test match to be officially recognised took place between the 15th to the 19th of March 1877 when the old foes of England and Australia met at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
First Class Cricket: This is the classification given to the highest standard of Cricket both internationally and domestically, which usually features long form matches of 3 days or more.
First class Cricket was used informally before it became officially recognised in 1895 when following a meeting of the leading English clubs, it became the term used for top level action in the country.
In 1947, the Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC) formally changed the definition to be a global one, but it was also decided to not make the change retrospectively, which has led matches before that difficult to classify in official statistics.
One Day International: Often referred to simply as ODI, is a type of limited overs Cricket that takes place between nation’s where both countries get a maximum number of overs to bat/field, which is usually 50.
The first ever ODI took place on the 5th of January 1971 between England and Australia, where the action took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), unfortunately things got off to a auspicious start as the teams were actually playing a test match but with the first 3 days rained off, the team met on the 4th day in a 40 overs match to determine the winner.
One of the great advantages that ODI’s have proven themselves great at is spreading and improving the sport across the globe as whilst T20 matches don’t require teams to be able to field and use other skills aside from big hitting, 50 overs still require a test of most cricketing abilities.
Aside from the major nations that play all forms of the sport at a high level, other countries to have found a home for themselves in the 50 overs version of the sport include the likes of the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Oman, the United States of America and Namibia.

Twenty20: These are also limited overs Cricket matches that can take place on either the international stage or in domestic competitions and are where both sides get a maximum of 20 overs to bat/field.
This is arguably the fastest growing form of the sport and is the shortest game on average with competitions such as the Big Bash and the Indian Premier League attracting the biggest stars from across the world.
Twenty20 was first introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2003 as a inter-county competition aimed at boosting struggling crowds.
Although the T20 form of the sport wasn’t intended to be played at international level, it was invented to boost domestic crowds, it didn’t take long for the first ever T20I (international T20 match) to take place when Australia defeated New Zealand on the 17th of February 2005.

100 Ball: As you would likely expect, 100 ball is where each side face a maximum of 100 balls and the side to score the most runs, wins.
The new version of the sport was formed at the professional level in 2021, after it was trialed in lower-level competitions, with the ECB’s The Hundred, been the first professional tournament to use the format.
T10: As is perhaps a given form the name of this version of the sport, T10 is the same as T20 but it is an even shorter version of the sport that see’s both sides playing getting a maximum of 10 overs.
The first competition to use the new format was the T10 League in the United Arab Emirates and in 2022, the West Indies became the first full-member board to start up a T10 competition known as The 6ixty (due to both sides facing 60 legal balls each in a 10 over match up).
Other Forms: Amongst the other forms of Cricket to be played regionally across the globe are single wicket, indoor Cricket, blind Cricket, Club Cricket, Village Cricket, Street Cricket, French Cricket, Crocker, Vigoro, Plaquita, Bete-ombro and Kikkiti.
Stream Cricket Live
If you are a fan of the wonderful sport of Cricket, in any form, you will know just how difficult it can be to watch matches live on British television.
Only a small number of matches are chosen for free-to-air (FTA) television on these shores which leaves fans needing to take out expensive and ongoing subscriptions to pay television channels in the hope that the match or matches that you are wanting to watch is chosen for live coverage.
Unfortunately with so many matches happening in so many competitions around the world, often at the same time, even the biggest games, featuring the worlds biggest stars can be overlooked by television companies.
Arguably the worst aspect for fans is that the coverage of Cricket is split across a number of pay to watch television services which means that if you are an ardent fan of the sport, you will not only have to take out 1 expensive and ongoing subscription but numerous and concurrently to where it gets to the point that it is simply unfeasible for the vast majority of us to take out the subscriptions and to watch the action.
Even if you are in the fortunate position to be able to afford the subscriptions and you are in the fortunate position to have the time to watch all of the action that is available, you will still likely miss out simply because the match you were wanting to watch live was not chosen by any of the tv stations for coverage.
It is therefore not too much of a surprise that so many are looking to stream Cricket live online and if that is the situation that you find yourself in, you are in the right place as we bring you a great choice of fantastic Cricket live streaming services that allow you to pick and choose the great action that you want to watch from across the world.
If you do decide to watch the action live via one of the fantastic streaming services that are offered by the online bookmakers that we feature on this page, you will need to be aged 18 or over and you will also need to have a funded account but you can then watch great Cricket action from across the globe including domestic and international matches of all forms of the sport including Test Matches, Twenthy20, T10, One Day International (ODI) and more.
The sport is one that comes in many different forms that can take place over a few hours or a few days but it does mean that no matter if you are wanting to watch the shorter forms of the sport such as Twenty20 or ODI Cricket to the longer forms such as Test match or Country Championship Cricket, you will likely have to give up a big part of your day to watch the action from start to end.
That is something that has become harder and harder for many of us to do as our time becomes more and more limited but that is also a great advantage of live streaming Cricket.
That is because you can watch via a wide range of methods including your phone, tablet, computer or TV so no matter what your favourite device is, you can keep up at home, in the office or on the go.
That flexibility allows you to start watching a match at home, follow along on your commute and then even watch when you reach the office (if allowed) or you can get straight back into the action when you get home.
History
The history of the sport is a long and fascinating one for people interested in that sort of things but it is difficult to state exactly when the sport we now know as Cricket actually began.
That is because the sport grew out of simply bat and ball games of the early 1300’s with other sports including the likes of golf, hockey, tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis all tracing their own roots back to that period.
The sport started to move away from the others as farmers and farming communities started to play the sport where it is thought that batsmen would defend the wicket gate (where sheep were herded), hence were we get wicked from to this very day.
It is believed that the sport actually started life more as a children’s game in the south-east of England during the Medieval period with the first recorded match been dated to January 1597 when court testimony mentioned the playing of a game of ‘Creckett’.
The modern style of the game started to be developed in the 1600’s but it was the 1700’s when the sport really started to take off and much of that was down the game becoming hugely popular with gamblers as vast sums were bet on the action.
The Hambledon Club, the first modern day style club was formed in the 1760’s around 20 years before the formation of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), which remains such an important part of the sport to today.
The MCC developed the sports laws to create an uniform sport that was played around the country and from their it has spread across the world. This was especially true during the Victorian era as the British Empire exported the sport to all of the countries that is conquered and controlled.
Nowadays, the biggest names of the sport are household names but the first plyer to make the breakthrough into a mainstream star was W. G. Grace who during the era of amateurism, he become incredibly rich playing the sport and helped develop Cricket into a professional sport played by dedicated sportsmen.
