Timing of the games is rather annoying. Will watch when I can. Yourself?

I have no way of watching.  :-[  I look at the commentary on Cricinfo up until Stupid o'clock then try to find highlights in the morning.  :facepalm:

I'd watch it if there was some channel showing it here ...  :(

Seen cricket couple times and kinda liked it  :pok:

Not sure what is it with me and british sports, I love cricket, bowls, darts and curling  :whistle:

We play India next and they have just beaten Australia. I would say them and England are the favourites. Maybe West Indies too.
This will be our first tough game. NZ is top of the table with three wins from three but those were against easier teams. :popcorn:

I usually watch the highlights on TV at night. The matches here are shown primarily on Sky sports channels that I don't have a subscription to. Most of each game is also during my working day as well. 

I like to listen to the games on BBC 5 sports extra while at work if I am in my office.

I can't watch the games as I don't have Sky and they are in the middle of the night here. I'm glad I found those highlights on the official website, our news websites have terrible highlights, often covering only a small part of the game (like someone's century for example).
India, England, and Australia look like the favourites, perhaps NZ too - we may be at the top of the table but most of our games so far have been against the easier teams.

Oh dear England - what happened? Perhaps they thought it was in the bag and didn't adjust to the conditions? Well bowled Sri Lanka.
I don't think England are consistent enough to win it.

Tough game tonight for NZ, playing Australia.... and our selectors refuse to swap out a couple of consistent underperformers.  :facepalm:

New Zealand, written off by everyone especially how they batted in this match, have beaten one of the tournament favourites India to go through to the final!

India needed a hundred runs when I fell asleep. Woke up two mins after we won.

State of Origin was on too but I really needed the shut eye.

Wow, what a game. One of the best ever. Some stupid rules and one which wasn't adhered to but I won't go into that.
Congratulations and well played England.
Well played New Zealand.  :salute:

Even though I'm English, I think New Zealand should have got the win.  New Zealand were 241-8 after 50 overs, but England were all out.

I think that's how they used to decide it.  :think:
The teams couldn't be separated runs-wise, so how about turning to wickets?

Perhaps they had already engraved 'England' on the cup so needed to come up with something quickly.  ;)
