Live Cricket Scores Ubuntu Indicator

Cricket Score Indicator is an AppIndicator which displays live cricket scores from ESPNcricinfo on the panel.

The indicator displays both international and domestic live cricket scores in the AppIndicator menu and allows you to set any match as the label (so the live score shows up directly on the panel).

Scorecards are available as submenus but they aren't displayed initially to reduce network usage. To enable scorecards, simply click on the "scorecard" submenu for any cricket match from the indicator and it should load the scorecard:

Cricket Score Indicator features:

• shows current score as indicator label;
• updated as soon as espncricinfo is updated;
• submenu shows the scorecard of corresponding match;
• categories for International and Domestic matches;
• option to set a particular match score as indicator label;
• adds new match as it is available and deletes the unavailable ones;
• Icon shows the runs scored on the last delivery of the corresponding match;
• Initially all submenus (scorecards) are hidden to reduce network usage.
