It's only cricket, but Mick Jagger likes it. In fact, when the Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon tour led him to North America — where he couldn't always get the scores or highlights he wanted — he felt the need for emotional rescue. So last fall the rock titan launched Jagged Internetworks to cybercast cricket on the Web. Technology was no problem: The Stones' own site already employed RealVideo and QuickTime. In collaboration with the existing site CricInfo (www.cricket.org), Jagged netcast last month's Akai Singer Champions Trophy tournament from the United Arab Emirates. Fans could follow live audio and catch video highlights later at www-uk.cricket.org/link_to_database/SUPPORT/JAGGED. "Cricket is a very big game around the world," Jagger says on the site, "so it's perfect for the Internet." Indeed, the rocker is bullish about the Web's potential: "In a few years, the Internet will be a huge player in sports broadcasting across the globe."
