Cricket in the West Indies - It's Wick

Can there be a better place for the cricket world cup to be held for the stay at home supporter from England or Wales than the West Indies? Take today's game for example. Kicks off at 14.30. Mostly the first innings of a one day game is fairly tedious give or take the Aussies setting South Africa 430 in Mick Lewis's match. One team is usually struggling to work out what a good target is. By the time work gets unbearable in late afternoon those of us with Sky or a surrepticious radio connection will be able to cash in on the last 10 overs. And then off to the pub for the innings break, the start of the reply, and back home in time to catch the denouement. Perfect.
