What a pity it’s not being shown on mainstream ‘free’ TV. How many kids would be inspired by watching it and what a boost for cricket it would be?

Or am I just pissed off because I won’t pay for Sky? At least with football you can watch in a pub.

Some of these games will be thrilling but missed by the masses.

Come on England!

Totally agree. The World Cup will pass without making a ripple on non cricket fans.

Agreed. A sport where we're number 1 in the world, we're expecting to dominate and its getting zero coverage.

Turn your radios on.

Get IPTV.

I get your points though, I don't think there is even highlights on mainstream channels.

BBC sport website will have clips I think.

They are trying their best to bring cricket to everyone but fail with the TV package. Saying that, are non cricket fans going to sit through 100 overs on their sofa? Nah, doubt it.

Was really looking forward to this after the one day series victory over Pakistan. I was hoping channel 5 would have highlights

Channel 4 are showing highlights of every game. Today's game at 11pm though, bit late for a school night for many people, and especially the kids

Tut. 11pm is piss poor really.

Plenty of empty seats at The Oval for a WC opener.

I wonder if The BBC will try and grab the final if England get there?

My nan’s spare room.

Totally agree, I miss the test matches being on free to view tv.

Still the radio is a good listen.

Dead right. It's a sold out game so they can't even say that they are trying to get people into the ground.
