RSS reader for Cricinfo - to display live cricket score

Mangesh P Deshpande asked:

Open original thread
I want to develop Windows phone app for displaying live cricket scores.

For now, I plan to display RSS feeds from http://static.cricinfo.com/rss/livescores.xml - considering that this link will show all the live matches, lets select one of the link from above which is assume:
SA Vs Sri Lanka

Now, I was assuming I'll have similar Xml nodes and children as in the first link like "Channels","Title", "Description", etc which forms an RSS. But the actual live score URL does not contain those xml nodes.

So, my question is if I were to display the live score, do I need to parse the above URL which does not contain RSS feeds? Or is there any way around? Because if CricInfo (the site) decides to change the look and feel, then my parser will get screwed.

Any help is appreciated!
