Data feeds for cricket and other sports

September 26, 2009 4:18 PM

Where can I get sports feeds, especially cricket?

I am looking to build a hobby cricket sports site. I want data, both current and historical, for records, one day matches, test matches etc. Where can I get such data, preferably free or very cheap?

Also, are there sites for other sports feeds?

Cricinfo has pretty much every cricket match, it's the Wisden website I believe.

they have scores, but don't seem to have feeds...looks like screen scraping is the only way to get data

On the contrary, they have feeds for pretty much everything. Check out this page.

It's been awhile since I've used it, so I can't vouch for its usefulness, but myp2p.eu has a section purporting to stream cricket matches.

That is news feed, not data feed, correct?
