Does anyone know where we can watch the Cricket World Cup, is it free to air or Foxtel only? I'm in Australia. If it's Foxtel/Kayo, does anyone know any streams worth using?

Foxtel will have every match.

9 will have every Australia match plus the semi and final. E: apparently they're also showing a few of the other group stage matches not featuring Australia on 9gem.

No idea about streams.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized

BBC posted:

Six potential names for teams in next year's inaugural 100-ball competition The Hundred have emerged.

Stobbs IP, a company specialising in branding, has applied to trademark London Spirit, Southern Brave, Leeds Superchargers, Birmingham Phoenix, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire.

While the trademark bids are for potential team names, it is not clear whether these are final titles. They will apply to teams based at Southampton, Headingley, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and Cardiff.

The Evening Standard reported that London Sprit will be the side based at Lord's.

It means teams from The Oval and Old Trafford are still without proposed names.

Trent Rockets lol

Sounds like a poo poo American 1970s stuntman.

Trent Rockets is stupid but Southern Brave hardly even makes sense and doesn't tell you where the team actually plays beyond "somewhere in the south".

This *has* to be NZ's chance. It's the only other country that plays like our pitches. We can't win anywhere else - not even at home due to the final being in Australia.

Of course it loving won't be. Australia will win it and we'll have to put up with some Steve Smith redemption poo poo Lifetime movie or something.

I reckon we won't make the semis this time.

Australia winning would be the worst outcome. Except if India do.

Listening to him fellate Steve Smith on-air made me turn the TV off.

Mark Nicholas is helping solve the worlds energy problems.

They've fitted magnets to the corpse of John Arlott. Every time Nicholas has the microphone, Arlott starts spinning. During Australia games enough energy is produced to power a country the size of Belgium.

I think they introduced it after the Sri Lanka v. South Africa test where Sri Lanka had a good review disallowed even though they made it in the rulebook 15 seconds following dead ball, because the umpire thought it was too long.

311 is probably a decent total, if we bowl well it's defendable, if we don't SA should get it.
