I'm assuming Paddy Reilly's will be showing the cricket ???

Any other bars that people know will have it on?

i would start with Paddys.

then Oliver Twist will probably have it and the Nelson too.

cool thks. Since I've only been in Zurich for 3 weeks I haven't had a chance to try out those other two places.

Wil many English and Australian people on the forum, why not start a Thread on the Ashes which starts tomorrow in Cardiff. Can the Aussies retain the Ashes or can the English repeat the performance from 2005.

I thought this might be another thread about MJ......

Hey guys,
any tips on where to watch the Ashes in Zurich tomorrow? Preferably a place with decent beer as well.

H.

Is anyone managing to listen to radio commentary online, from inside Switzerland?

I know its available with satellite, but I dont have this at work.

for sure!!!

BBC i Player is your best bet, but you need a UK proxy to get around the fact that you are out of the UK, which may not please your IT department.


The ECB are streaming video on subscription - That is working fine here, according to other forum members, so you may just have to just close the window and listen to the commentary.

It is being streamed on five live sports extra and is fine in Switzerland

I'd be interested in finding this out too.

i bet in the Oliver Twist Pub in the niederdorf. I know that it will be shown in the Mr. Pickwick in Zug, and as they belong to the same company, i assume they'll show it too.

Thanks for that!

A bit late as I didn't spot this thread quicker. Holding hands up to total plagerism:

Just had to call the RSPCA and report a Swann on fire in Cardiff.

thanks!!! just cranked it up

Hello,

I have a husband who wants to watch the Ashes in Lausanne; does anyone know of any pubs/bars which may have a Sky sports screen tuned in?

Best regards,

Pelly

best bet is The Great Escape, then maybe Captain Cook, or the White Horse in Ouchy perhaps.

many thanks
