Cricinfo has introduced a great new service called Desktop Alerts that will deliver wicket alerts, score updates and breaking news from around the world, direct to your desktop. Better still it’s completely free, with no subscription or call charges to pay, and requires no specialist IT knowledge to download and install.
The Desktop Alert service is ideal for media users as it operates continually, even when you’re working in other programmes. The service can be personalised to receive selected news from a menu of international and first-class cricket covering all Test playing countries. It’s the most comprehensive free alert service the sport has ever enjoyed.
