I'm so tired....

Been a harsh World Cup tbh and we haven't even started the Super 8s. Games starting at around midnight, going till quite abit after sunrise. My body clock is way out of whack, it's like I'm constantly jetlaged and heaps tired during the day. I've been falling asleep during lectures and classes and barely seen sunlight in weeks either. Been a shocker tbh.

Wondering how the other Australians and New Zealanders around here have been coping.

You deserve it. SS, Fusion, Turbinator, np10, myself, etc. have been doing this the other 90% of the time. Enjoy. :p

Haha he's got a point you know. Though sadly it hasn't worked out like I thought. I mean the matches are on during daytime when I'm at work. I can't watch them during weekdays! At least when they're on during night, I can stay up all night and show up to work the next day in a zombie like state!

Being in the USA, I hate missing the games because of my classes or missing my classes because of the games :wacko:!!!!!~~~~~

For me in India the game timings are not that good neither are they too bad , the games starts at 7 pm or 8 pm and finishes by 3.30 am or 4.30 am next morning and so far i have watched every (important) game from the first ball till the last ball.


As a result i have got dark circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep, but a few diet cokes or few cups of coffee keep me awake through the game.

Have not been able to watch any of the games yet, but this is about to change considering games are on free to air from tonite onwards.

I've been sleeping. :p

Being an Indian fan, I realised that sleep is much more worthwile than watching my worthless team play.

That is what I was like during the Ashes midnight starts til 8am finishes. With a coombination of cafeene and holidays from work managed to catch pretty much all of the 1st two tests (for my sins). After that though couldn't manage it anymore So for the rest of the tour either recorded the days play or watched highlghts after work.

Anyway loving this world cup 2pm until 11pm and two weeks off work to watch the super 8s.

I've not watched a single game, mainly for two reasons. Firstly, I CBF. Secondly, I don't have Foxtel, and there's no way I'm staying up until 3 am or whenever on Cricinfo. Once Channel Nine starts carrying them, though, I imagine I'll be watching a whole lot more.
