Well! This is interesting. England v SA could be more competitive than I thought. It's an odd game, this short stuff.

Wow I just looked up the scores. And I thought the Aus - NZ game was a good close one (well done Kiwis!). Looks like we're only getting the Aus games on telly here - till the finals I suppose. Great effort England. So how did they lose to WI? Are the Windies coming good or is it this crazy 20-20 thing?

FWIW, ajaye, all the games are on Foxtel (which won't help if you don't have it!). Only the Oz games are on FTA.

Is it just me, or are all the uniforms absolutely horrid? I don't know what on earth that NZ thing is, but it's embarrassing to lose to a team wearing that. (Not that the Aussie ones are much better, mind you).

Yeah, only FTA for me.

Apparently they've gone retro with their uniforms:Shrug:

Today's game is India v Pakistan. Which should be interesting!

The Pakistani women beat the Indian women this morning as a warm up.

Holy guacamole! Go Afghanistan! I'd bet miranda wouldn't mind losing to Afghanistan - I was pretty much going for Bangladesh against us.

Eh? I missed it, forgot it was on!

Oh dear.... I think that puts us in trouble. But well done to Afghanistan! Considering what they go through just to keep the team together, it's brilliant for them.

If it weren't for Moeen Ali going nuts in the last three overs, I suspect you would've lost. It was not exactly a convincing performance by England...

Damn right, made very hard work of it. But we're still there.

That game was a disappointment. They seemed to lose their heads and play some really daft shots.

Men did well though! Don't know what happened to the Kiwis.

Who would've thought it'd be an England vs West Indies final?

I'm currently watching the women's final -- the Aussies are going for four World Cup's in a row. Looking good so far. Meg Lanning is an absolute superstar.

So who's gonna win the men's? Will Gayle be the decider?

I thought the women's final might have made it on to free to air but alas, no. I'm relying on you for updates frankly. Make them good ones pls.

God, Aussie FTA TV sucks at promoting women's sport. Not like channel 9's showing anything good right now, either. You think they'd at least put it on GEM or something, but nope. I guess repeats of RBT are more important. Sigh.

Aus 3-135 after 18 overs. Lanning and Villani both made 50s. Perry (another superstar) just hit a magnificent 6.

Scratch that -- two 6's. That one went 80m.
