    I'll be hoping for a good England showing, with Morgan as captain.

    Fairly bitter taste watching it all go on without Ireland though.

    All this hype around England... it just feels like they're setting themselves up for a big fall. Scores of 400+ are great and all but they're not the only way to win cricket matches. I expect them to comfortably makes the semis but once they're at that point they're only a few bad shots away from a sub par total. There's no room for error in the knockout phase.

    yeah I think I agree with that, no surprise if they win it, but equally unsurprising if they shít the bed completely at some stage.

    Ah yeah TMS is the best by a country mile, but Guerilla is fine too, they cover a lot of Ireland's games as well, for future reference.

    not even 320 from 4 of the first 5 going 50+?

    that's a bad innings.

    This is actually quite a good indicator of exactly how good England are. Their batting didn't quite fire so let's see how their bowling unit defend a fairly gettable target.

    Hopefully England don't win the whole thing,don't think I could stand looking at Eoin Morgan picking up the world cup trophy.

    They were saying at the beginning about lots of ways to listen including an icc site.

    Anyone tried?
