Another Idea: For match threads, add brief score summary at head of every post and reply (!)

[jabbar]

This would be very cool, if it is implementable. Why not add a service to the posting/replying feature of the forum specifically for match threads (determined by the moderators).

Whenever a post or a reply is made, the service will add a one line summary of the score at the time of the post:

Example:

-----------
Reply:
Member: jabbar

Score summary: 3rd Inns- Ashraful 150* Mortaza 20* BD 400/6

Message:
Whoa!! Ashraful is doing so well. He just spanked a six over McGrath's head!!!!!
-----------

This would then put in context (automatically) the forum member's comments, to the current score. You would have to make a service, or agent, that extracts the score from the appropriate source (wouldn't be too hard, but bandidth issues?)

I think this would be an awesome idea, and perhaps a world first. We would be the envy of all other sport fan sites!
