I'm in Pakistan but I'm thinking of buying a package. The commercials they show on our channels are retarded and it feels like we are watching commercials with cricket breaks.

So who's excited about the upcoming Cricket World Cup?

It's taking place in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh (no Pakistan LOL!) so the number of viewers, at least for the all the matches India are in, will exceed 1 BILLION!

Can't wait! This time, as in 1983, India shall bring home the World Cup!

Feb. 19th, hurry up! 😀

Neo Cricket doesn't even show replays! I wonder if ESPN Star Sports is available on SHITcast...

teams of eleven people from different countries will be para-dropped in the middle of forests in different location in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, whoever comes back with the maximum number of crickets (pic for your reference below) after 8 hours wins. Every teams will be dropped in different location over the period of several weeks and winner will decided thereafter.
Crickets collected will later be sold to northeast Asian countries for profit.

You should buy an online streaming package. They are surprisingly good (better than TV since no ads) and you might be able to find a good quality stream for <$25

Does Comcast have ESPN Star Sports?

I'm really pissed that Neo Cricket is a bullshit channel that I wasted $$ subscribing to.. I will be cancelling that channel come Monday.

Can you suggest a good package? Also, watching something on the PC for so many hours... I'm not sure.. never watched cricket on the computer before.. I like the comfort of the couch and big screen.. but if I can find a good package that shows the matches I'll buy it..

My friend in the USA usually buys packages and I asked how he was going to watch the WC. He said: http://crictime.com/

This is free but it'll be crappy quality and unreliable. Better than nothing.

Also, if you can find a good stream, you can use HMDI to watch on TV...
 
This will be a high quality non interrupted stream (with lots of commercials)

It only supposed to work in Pakistan, but others have got it to work. Report your success.

edit: the quality isn't that great... but it works 😀
