Cricket Score in your IM Status

I’ve been using this since IPL started - setting my IM status as the current Score.

Some even pinged and asked me, “Why are you wasting time updating ball by ball scores?” - answer is here.

It is a modification of the existing DBus example in pidgin. It is a cheap hack, urllib2 - readline - set status. So, you have edit i, change cricinfo url to current match,pick the line number and set your status. Though dirty, it works.

Can you do this in Google Talk? ;)
