Match times

[Prince EWS]

Something that I only just considered now, but what time - GMT - are the World Cup matches to be played? I had a look at the fixtures list on cricinfo and it doesn't say.

The official site for the World Cup says that all matches start 9.30 AM local time, which according to them is 1430GMT.

Hmm. Any early morning dew around in yer Caribs?

Great, now I can watch the matches while sitting in lecture ...

Matches start at like midnight australian time, which is quite bad, i think they were saying on the radio the other day it's the worst possible time zone for australian's to watch cricket out of all the test playing nations...

 

[Johnners]

should be a law against it... all matches should be played to suit the current WC holders fans imo

Starting at around 2AM in NZ by the sounds of it, I'll be up to watch most games.

Confirmed on cricinfo:

"All matches in the tournament proper start at 0930 local time (1330GMT except Jamaica which is 1430 GMT)."

7PM and 8PM IST
one half will decently fit in .....the rest will depend upon the way game shape's up hmmm

Been looking at the dates, the Australia Vs South Africa group match and the final are on Sunday morning (12am) which is very good news. Also the first semi is on anzac day, which is cool as well. There are also a few super 8's on Easter weekend.

Also for me personally, I have mid semester break from Friday the 6th of April till Moday the 16th which includes a heap of Super 8 matches that I'll be able to watch without having to go to uni dog tired the next day.

Any idea why Jamaica matches would start an hour later? is it in a diferent time zone?

Us in the Ashes tbh.

Decent time for round here anyway, should be able to catch a good few hours of most matches.
