It's a bit of fun, but it has a serious purpose too. The serious side is to demonstrate that it can be done, it {{Allcaps|is}} possible to live broadcast events like this using relatively cheap equipment and a good internet connection. It will also demonstrate the importance of good internet connectivity in rural areas, and the need for fast {{Allcaps|upload}} connections if we are to realise the aspiration to use the internet to enable more people to produce their own content.}}The matchThe match was 20 overs per side (the Twenty20 format), with any batsman reaching 20 runs required to retire. Wray won the toss,[14] and elected to bowl first.[14] After 20 overs, The Rest of the World were 69 for 5,[14] leaving Wray needing 70 runs off 20 overs, which they achieved with a final six, in their eleventh over,[14] winning by 8 wickets.[14] The post-match tug o'war contest (won by Rest of World, 2 out of 3) was also streamed live,[14] as were interviews with various participants.[14] MediaThe event was streamed online on Bambuser with technical support from Birmingham company Aquila TV[5][15] who used two Sony Z1 cameras and a DSR 350.[5] The stream was watched by a peak of 2,733 viewers. A separate audio commentary was broadcast on-line, by Radio Youthology,[5] attracting 1,780 listeners; their highest figure ever. Also attending were a BBC North West television news crew,[14] whose film was broadcast the same evening.[16] The related hashtag #twicket was trending on Twitter shortly before the end of the match.[5] The match also made a star out of local commenter, Brenda, who drank Pimms throughout the game.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|url=http://www.twicket.info/|title=A World First – Live Broadcasting a Village Cricket Match|last=Popham|first=John|accessdate=17 April 2011}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=BBC Radio London|date=26 April 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=TalkSport|date=26 April 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Radio New Zealand|date=6 May 2011}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2011/apr/25/twicket-wray-lancashire-boadband|title=Lancashire village cricket match attracts thousands... |last=Hartley|first=Sarah|date=25 April 2011|work=The Guardian|accessdate=25 April 2011|location=London}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2011/apr/12/broadband-cricket-wray|title=Cricket livestream to highlight rural broadband needs|last=Hartley|first=Sarah|work=The Guardian|date=12 April 2011|accessdate=17 April 2011|location=London}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/may/15/aleks-krotoski-britishness-internet|title=Being British: How has the internet affected our national identity?|last=Krotoski|first=Aleks|publisher=The Observer|accessdate=15 May 2011|location=London|date=15 May 2011}} 8. ^Metro, 15 April 2011 9. ^[https://twitter.com/stephenfry/status/57696632447307777 – A World First?
