-
check out the p2p sites - myp2p and p2p4u, plus type in live cricket streaming to google - there are normally a few sites that will have the matches on as well, just a case of trawling through them.
-
didnt know if they would have the warm-up games being covered though?? Havent looked on Sky yet as bogged down with paperwork so cant open the door through piles on it :(
-
dont think they will cover the warm up games but if theres anyone who hasnt got sky or cant watch the actual tournament for whatever reason send me a pm and ill sort you out a link to watch it online
-
i can see the world t20 being crap, having seen the first down games, the pitches aren't any good for t20 games
-
I think that because the pitches are so poor, the games will be very close, with the minnows definitely competing against the big boys, it will make very interesting viewing. To be honest I thought the Indian Premier league was becoming quite boring with teams racking up 190 and then teams crashing all out for 120. That was dull.
-
i would like to congratulate ireland on their fine performance last night
-
and im very dissapointed in the state of the grounds, terrible idea to take it to west indies
-
Grounds seem fine to me and look fair for both sides.
And to say it was a terrible idea to take it the windies is silly. If you've ever been to the carribean then you will know that they are nuts about their cricket out there and the atmosphere at games is great. Certainly wish i was back out their!
-
stadiums hold about 5 fans, there is no 'atmosphere'
pitches are poor, outfields are slow
-
Watched the NZ vs Sri Lanka game yesterday, dud a thriller until the end.
Awesome game.
-
and im very dissapointed in the state of the grounds, terrible idea to take it to west indies
i dont think its the best place to play, the tracks just aren't what they used to be especially with the drought,
Having watched the WI vs ZIM series the pitches didnt look good then

i would like to congratulate ireland on their fine performance last night
Ireland can't bat, I never claimed they could. But there was some HORRIBLE captaincy skills in there. Andre Botha Batted at 9 and only came on at the 16th over making the maximum he could bowl 3 and he only bowled 2 (something (No Swearing Please) awesome like 2 overs for 4 runs and 2 wickets). Boyd Rankin is a top class 4-day bowler but he can't play T20 cricket, we found that out the last time round, he also offers nowt with the bat or in the field, apart from a bit of competition for Dockers (who I might add bowl amazingly well and I would like to congratulate) as to who is the worst. Rankin and Johnson bowled possibly the 2 worst overs in succession EVER in international cricket in the 17/18th (i think) they went for about 30 odd, and if Ireland are only chasing 110 it a COMPLETELY different game, Porterfield would have played his natural innings and got 40 0dd off 60 odd, then others would have worked around him and Bobs your uncle were through.
Anyway I'll be sticking on the Windies jersey when there playing England so it will make the Eire V Angla match a final effectively.
I'm sticking to my guns though and I firmly believe Ireland will beat England, they wont get Dockers away, Botha needs to bowl his 4 overs and Connell (who i don't rate but has been bowling well) or Kidd (but then we don't have an opening bowler) needs to play in stead of Rankin. So if we field amazing as per usual, bowl to our best ability and Porterfield or Niall O Brien makes runs, along with contributions from Mooney, Cusack Kevin O Brien or Botha ect we will win.
-
the person who said there is no atmosphere is a total cricket dummy. Im sure sitting quietly in a stand and clapping after every boundary with no noise in between is full of excitement. and to say that the stadiums hold 5 fans just shows how naive some of the people on here are
-
lol @ ireland beating england! Grow up boy.

Great fucing comment, did you stretch your vocabulary a bit to much there? Shall you get a gold star from your teacher when you go back to school? Perhaps a pat on the head?
-
Niall don't patronize him, your 15. Thats his opinion, and let him share it, don't mock him for it....

Where as your the ripe old age of? i don't mind people having opinions as long as there decent and backed up with a point!! Comments like thats just show that the person typing them isn't the full shilling.....
-
Don't think seedy needs to back up his point, it's obvious why he thinks that. If he said "Ireland will smash england", would you have had the same reaction?

Yes. Did I say "Ireland will smash England"? No, if life were that simple I would have.
-
Niall - you expect Ireland to win against England, fair enough - got to support your country. You can see why people dont take you seriously when you say that every single one of your players has to play their best match possible to beat England (who are rated poorly in One day cricket anyway) - you dont see many English fans saying the same........I'm all for a bit of national pride, also a big fan of realism as well........i could easily say "Well it Pietersen has a hundred and so does Kieswetter, then Anderson gets a hat trick then we'll win easily", thats an obvious statement to make and provides little insightful thought to the match. I think the match will be good, but i think that England has too much strenght in depth for the Irish side, purely based on the experience of the players and the lack of top international games played by the irish side.....of course, just an opinion though :D

Yes Shilly, that's what I like to hear. I hardly said That we need to people to make a ton!! I'm just saying, being mainly amateurs we have a few more off days then most, but if were not having an off day we will bowl and field very well, because we are good enough. With the batting I'm just saying we need one of the pros who are on full-time county contracts (Niall, Porterfield) to stand up because they have the experience against these sides, im not saying if two lads make a ton well win, because that is usually the case! (when 2 people get tons) You get me? :) :L
-
really wish you put those gloves on it! If england loose i'll just give you mine. That's how likely it is!
-
As likely as Netherlands beating England? ;)

west indies are not what they used to be, maybe its because we have just come from the ipl where there there was a full stadium for every game and a 200+ wicket on display that ive come to expect too much from a t20 game.
but if i want to see teams go at 6 an over, ill watch an odi. the only appeal that t20 has to me is when teams get 10 per over and smash boundaries, aside from seeing the likes of david warner tee off i really dont have any affection for the format what-so-ever. slow low pitches and slow outfields do not make it fun to watch
niall - you gave it the bigg'un about irish cricket and they didnt back you up dont take it out on us, keep on topic!
-
Raina was stunning today.
-
Aussies are looking worryingly good! >:(
-
5 wickets in the last over.. is that the most ever??
-
And a maiden!
Although to be honest...I reckon it's all too late!
191 runs of 20 overs? That's gonna take some getting! :(
-
safe to say ameer is the next big thing fantastic control and calmness could be as good as wasim at this rate
-
he's what 17-18, hes amazing hopefully injuries or such don't hamper his career.. or the politics of pak cricket..
-
Predicted England score batting??? Kies and Lumb opening up for us then
-
thinking positive so going for 167 as my starting bid :)
-
I think Lumb and Kieswetter did their jobs. Those 3 sixes looked so sweet!
-
Superb start here by England, KP and Colly to keep it going now hopefully, 178 for me.....
-
Might not br far off with 167 here ;)
-
Morgans hitting it clean now, I hope we get Gayle early though....
-
what a shot by morgan the standing reverse sweep forget the dilscoop thats the irish paddle :)
-
5 wickets in the last over.. is that the most ever??
I am pretty sure it is. Makings took 4 consective wickets but one or two of them were not in same over as hatrick delievery
-
what a shot by morgan the standing reverse sweep forget the dilscoop thats the irish paddle :)
England's best player Is Irish!! lol (ok, I'll stop!)
The "Dilscoop" Is called the Lapshot!!! John and Paul Mooney invented it and have been playing it for years!!! I P!SSES me off when the commentators say "oh the minnows mimicking Dilshan, FECK OFF! We invented it! John brought it into the Irish side not Dilshan!!
-
Yeah but it's not who invented it at times it's who is remembered for it mj did not invent the moonwalk but he is remembered for it
-
Dilshan was the one person that brought it to the world stage! Hence why its called the Dilscoop!
-
That's the jist of what I was saying but in grander words chopps lol :-[
-
The duckworth lewis method is crap, for T20, WI would never have got 191.
-
i am OUTRAGED
190 odd scored and the opposition require just 60 off 6 overs with 10 wickets remaining, how on earth is that fair?
-
The duckworth lewis method is crap, for T20, WI would never have got 191.
Its a farce!! Rediculous!!!
-
totally agree as from the BBC sport website....
Not sure where Duckworth and Lewis have plucked this total from - how can England post the highest total in the tournament so far only for the Windies to be set 33 from 22 balls? I don't want to sound at all partisan, but that doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense......
Teams fileding will just bowl even slower now to avoid getting to 5 overs in case the rain sets in and the match can be abandoned
-
Duckworth and Lewis have a lot to answer for as doesn't seem right
-
COMON THE WINDIES! Final tomorrow boys! ;) :L :)

correction - Aus got 195 y'day?
-
such a crap method, so unfair. I would be saying this even if it wasn't England that lost.
-
Dilshan was the one person that brought it to the world stage! Hence why its called the Dilscoop!
Nope, John brought it to the world stage and Dilshan copied it, but obviously he will be remembered for it as he is more well known....
-
if your friend 'john' was so good at it he would be playing for england by now... jog on
-
if your friend 'john' was so good at it he would be playing for england by now... jog on
Oh yes because I no many an international cricketer who only has one shot... any one who invented a shto MUST play for England!! "JOG ON!!!"
And he doesn't play county cricket because he fucing hates the English with a passion......
-
If this John is so good, how come I didn't see one dilscoop on Friday night?
-
Niall does it matter if John Mooney invented the scoop shot or Dilshan did?
Fans watching don't earn anything from arguing where the shot came from.
With regards to the match, England where unlucky. But saying the Windies won't chase 192 is unknown. They were in a handy position when the rain came down.
-
Oh yes because I no many an international cricketer who only has one shot... any one who invented a shto MUST play for England!! "JOG ON!!!"

oh right, so hes a racist aswell?
i think the reason he doesnt play county cricket is more to do with the fact that he is (No Swearing Please)
england does not contain 100% english people, the cricket team is an example of how people can come over and have an equal oppotunity to anyone else
unfortuanely, ireland are just another little nation who will feed us players, nice one, cheers... but we will let u keep john mooney
a gift, from us to you, enjoy
-

Yeah I see how he's the racist one..... He was offered a contract so if he's (No Swearing Please) english players must be complete shitee, anyways you just changed subject from your stupid ill informed comment..
-
my ill informed comment that england pick the best of irish players to represent them? joyce... morgan... (not john mooney...)
-
If this John is so good, how come I didn't see one dilscoop on Friday night?
Erhmmm, I never said he was "so good" (but he is) and maybe because he only got 3 and the shot wasn't on??
-
Good luck to the paddys tonight they will need it.
-
Good luck to the paddys tonight they will need it.
No Paddys on that team..... 6 hours and counting....
Porterfield (C)
Sterling
N O Brien (WK)
Wilson
Mooney
Cusack (3)
K O Brien
Botha (5)
Johnson (2) Straight through
Connell (1)
Dockrell (4)
Ireland win :) lol
-
The original mooney should be entertaining lol, good luck to the Irish, I think England will win at a canter but who knows!
-
Now that's what I call a collapse 58-1 84 all out 9 wickets for 26 runs
-
This world cup is a farce, fancy picking in Guyana during the rainy season
-
Adds to the excitement....
-
Kieswetter is looking dodgy. Lumb is gone.
-
cant find any decent links to watch......very annoying!
-
fucks sake
-
Kieswetter gone! Looked dodgy......
-
Looked out to me bat in the air
-
how has that beaten the filter? Or is it just that I don't see the filter.
Anyway, kieswetter run out. I think it should have been not out. Not enough evidence to see it.
-
collingwood gone aswell
-
Well he was unlucky, any decision that takes that long to decide shouldnt be out, Colly got a jaffer...
-
he was out from what i saw.
Found a link :D

Question about the Duck Worth Lewis target yesterday for the West Indies, How come when they lost wickets, the total needed did not increase?
-
Ireland are doing well, I think everyone saying how easy the win will be are eating there words.
-
they are doing well but we will see when both sides have batted
-
I think england although strong in the top 4/5 lack anything after that.
Luke Wright is hit and miss, and is certainly no replacement for Flintoff (who in the ODI/T20 side i think we miss)
and the bowling isn't good enough either, Yardy, Sidebottom, Broad and Bresnan certainly dont strike fear into the opposition.
Although i do feel Swanny is a good asset. However i feel broad is not good enough for the england side, and to pick him or sidey over anderson is messed up. Bresnan maybe good in tests for his batting, but he isnt a T20 batsman lower down the order, and i think even though England are doing ok atm we need stronger bowling to push is on in ODI/T20 cricket
-
luke wright did all right in the last few matches, broad is one of the hottest prospects in cricket and bresnan is developing into quite a good all rounder. I think this england team are coming along very nicely, although it will be interesting to see how they would shape up to be without the south African/Irish/Aussie/Asian imports
-
initially, i wasnt impressed with kieswetters innings of 41 off 42, i thought he had taken too long over it, but after south africa batted i can see that it was an innings of real value although he had his fair share of luck he has done a good job for his country (or 2nd country depending on your view!) generally speaking, a run-a-ball is pretty poor in t20 but if at such a young age he has such a good understanding of batting situations and what a good score is i think he has a big future at international level, it also highlighted what a class act kp is to score so quickly and look so dominant, england ftw!

Kieswetter was poor IMO. Numerous times he ran the down pitch, to the seamers, and played a wild slog. He needs to take a leaf out of KP's book. Steady base and whack it miles!!!

Any link for England-SriLanka match? The last link sent by SillyShilly worked like a charm...

Kuma 'Ayrtek' Sangakara to face the devastating sidebottom........
-
Lovely 4 to open up from him don't mind him getting a few to promote the brand but not so many that England loose!!!

If you go by this, im not sure why England bothered even going. There crap!
-
Better link

-
OMG, what a terrible piece of cricket that was, its ok to fumble the ball during pressuer, but lumb gave up and he still fumbled the ball!
also, I was thinking about you tom after the goose went flying out of the batsman hand, in that situation 60% of the time the gloves are usually blaimed in my own experience
-
Clumsy, SL missed an awesome chance on run out.
Hopefully they can take some wickets to keep the game interesting.
-
watching the highlights now! kapugedara waving the cor3 around swishing at thin air making me laugh, looks like he couldnt hit water if he fell off a boat!
-
A pity SL are out of the T20 WC, I really liked them thru out the tournament.
-
yeh they were entertaining but they were beaten by the better team yesterday IMO....chosing to bat could have been a vital point in the game after SL won the call at the toss!
-
Whos going to meet us in the final Oz or pakistan? I think Oz will edge it but you never know what side is going to turn up with Pakistan as they have the ability to pull out a result!
-
Aus have looked pretty strong, then again i dont think anyone has really tested them yet, though you could almost say the same for England (The West Indies match could have been great had it not been for the weather!)
England V Oz final - a close run chase with Oz just edging it, scores of around 145-150.
-
i'd much rather play pak, looks like it may happen too!
-
This is pure Pakistan poor for most of the tourni then turn it on when nothing to loose and are world beaters lol
-
Hussey, take a bow!
-
jeez
-
Pakistan played extremely well but Australia somehow bettered that. Unbelievable stuff.
One of the best finishes I have ever witnessed in T20; that match eclipsed every ipl game. Barmy Army!
-
Mr Cricket! :o
michael clarke called him an "absolute freak" live at the presentation lol
collingwood is gonna have some nightmares now :)
-
I'm just glad that Niall has stopped raving on about how he thinks Ireland are the worlds best side!
England to win on Sunday, looks like we have confidence in our players for once. 6 wicket win for us.
-
No. I still think England have the momentum and confidence going into sunday.
EDIT - That was to AlexRickyPonting
-
In all honesty i think either one side will completely brick it come sunday: England may just revert to the old mentality of Australia = Unbeatable, or Australia may freeze up at the thought that England may beat them when both teams are pretty in form.
Or option 2 - A very close and entertaining game with Australia edging it in the end, If that win wont give them confidence, what will! :)
-
Australia are favourites, especially as the final is at the Kensington Oval. Their quicks have been awesome in Barbados. Their batting is stunning. A lesser side would've rolled over today, but not Australia.
-
watched the closing overs today and pakistans cricket was awful. Sure Hussey can slog to leg pretty well but it doesn't take a genius to stop bowling long hops and shove it full outside off. Alot of pies (in international terms) came down at the end.
Think Aus start favourites for the final but it could go either way - I doubt england will bowl as poorly and thoughtlessly as pakistan in the death overs.
-
sadly my money is on aus :(
-
the good thing for pakistan is that they have gone out after putting up a good fight and most of the pakistani public will have forgotten their [abysmal] performance prior to australia. atleast they are not in india's position, where people collected rotten tomatoes to throw at them and the news channels berated the team constantly.
-
I'm glad Eng got Aus in the final. I would rather play Australia tbh because pakistan are so irratic they either play awesome or rubbish.
Amazing last over last night, great for the viewers, Hats off to Hussey! Was immense!
-
Great game yesterday, both teams deserved to win it.
Looking at what AUS realized this tournament they will win the game on Sunday.
-
Here we go, come on England!
-
Come on England 7-2 shocking running
-
Awsome catch did not hit it though
-
Wooo come on england!!!
-
well done broady - great comeback catch!
-
well played broad great guts to take that.... well bowled wrighty as well
-
chasing 148 - need to be calm and keep playing like we have been, Ireland aside, though #I can't help feeling their attack hold the advantage...
-
anyone got an online link?
-
Come on kev.
-
should win easy if we carry on like this, just need pietersen and kieswetter to stay in :D
-
Pietersens gone....
-
19 world tournaments 5 finals and we have finally done it it's about time
-
get in there
-
australia who?
-
Easy peasy...
-
happy days :D
-
Awesome result
-
YYYEAAAHHHHHHHHH COOMMOOONNN THE SKYS THE LIMIT WE ARE THE BEST TEAM AT 20-20 IN THE WORLD WOOOOHOOOOO
-
Mwah. I direct the heartiest of belly laughs in the direction of Shane Watson. Try seaming or swinging the ball once in a while mate, you might be able to change your classification from Right-Arm Cannon-Fodder! 8)
-
Great win and we deserved it,England played the best cricket and were worthy winners.Well done England!!!
-
Was a one sided match, England thrashed Australia like anything!! England looks a great side after along time now...hope they keeps up their performance like this in other formats of the game aswell!!
-
I hope England kick on now and destroy everyone
-
I hope England kick on now and destroy everyone
England have never done well after winning a world tournament. Look at the Football after 66, the rugby after 2003 and the cricket after 2005. We have had a magnificent slump after winning each of those.
Hope for the best, Plan for the worst lol
-
we got to the final of the 2007 world cup, and won the ashes again in 2009
-
we got to the final of the 2007 world cup, and won the ashes again in 2009
Which World Cup was that?
2007 ICC WC was contested by Australia & Sri Lanka.
2007 ICC WT20 was contested by India & Pakistan.
-
We've been in the last two rugby world cup finals, one of which we won and have won the last two ashes series on home soil. Don't moan about the country too much!!
-
Oh yes we love to knock a winner
-
we got to the final of the 2007 world cup, and won the ashes again in 2009
lol, you just skipped all the 6 nations flops in the rugby and the 5-0 ashes whitewash in the cricket in 07.

the last word on this from Paul Collingwood...
Asked by Nasser Hussain how the lads enjoyed yesterday's trip to No 10, Paul Collingwood replied: 'Well, no one urinated in the gardens.'
