Australia has a Test series in the West Indies and we want you to hear it.
No Australian outlet is broadcasting it - no ABC, no Fairfax, no guy with a megaphone on a cherry-picker. It's down to us.
White Line Wireless (formerly known as Roar Radio) is back with its distinctive style of commentary - to put the cricket first and have a good time along the way. We'll stream free online coverage of each day's play, ball by ball by bloody ball.
We have a mix of everyday cricket fans with a good turn of phrase, along with media professionals like Geoff Lemon, Tom Cowie, Cat Jones, Gav Joshi, Adam Collins and Jonathan Howcroft. It's a cricket democracy, and anyone could be part of it.

How The Funds Will Be Used
Let's face it, the hours are tough. Play starts at midnight Australian time, meaning our team of volunteers will need plenty of sustenance to get us through the night. Over ten days of play, that adds up.
We don't need a big pile of dollars for the broadcast - we always make it work. But if you love cricket, you can show your solidarity by shouting us a coffee or a beer or a 4am feed. Let's see what's open.
Radio coverage matters to a lot of people. Maybe you have vision problems, or no bandwidth to get video streams, or the wrong finances or geography to buy coverage. Maybe you're just allergic to TV commentary. We're here to help.
Every shout will help keep us focused on the job: providing you the best possible call.
If we crack $500, we can subsidise looking after our callers.
If we crack $1000, we can fully cover the cost of feeding and watering them.
If we top a grand, we'll invest in new gear - better broadcast mics, headphones, sound effects and broadcast computer - so we can bring better coverage next time the ABC can't go.
(If getting the $100 reward, it would probably help to be a resident of Melbourne, or willing to do a remote hook-up.)

The Challenges
We'll subject ourselves to this all-night marathon whatever happens. But it'd be nice if someone bought us a beer.

Thanks for the caffeine hit. One of our callers will show the love and give you a shout-out on air.

I'll have mine neat. You can drink it with us - come by broadcast central and get on-air for a session, or just sit in the box and soak up the atmosphere.

Crazy commentary powder
Oh, alright. WADA's not around, but we'd best keep it legal. Still, for loving cricket so much one of our media professionals will write an article on the subject of your choice, and name-check you along the way. Plus you get sponsor naming rights for a full day's play.

Wagyu Ferrari massage
You're a madman, but you're fabulous. Come and hang out for the entire broadcast, drink our beer, eat our pizza, get on air, get an article. In fact, we'll name the whole broadcast after you or your choice of name for the duration. And if you want to throw down a challenge, one of our commentators will call an entire day's play straight. Over seven hours of throat-scraping description and analysis.
