Dock-based Cricket score for England/New Zealand

Here's hint with limited appeal ... if you want to keep an eye on the cricket scores in the England/New Zealand Test series, the Channel 4 website provides a desktop scorecard, which is just a self-refreshing very small webpage.

Until someone clever enough writes a nice menu extra to display the current score at the top of your screen, I suggest minimising this window to the dock. The title of the web page is the current score, and thanks to the dock reflecting changes as they happen, you only need to mouse over the docked window to view the current innings total.

[robg adds: Definitely a narrow appeal hint ... but it's Friday, so what the heck -- enjoy! And the useful blurb in here for all OS X users is the reminder that the dock updates content in real time, which could be useful on sites beyond the England/New Zealand cricket match.]
