Radio coverage?[edit]

The "Media coverage" section lists only TV rights holders. What about radio (and for that matter, online and mobile) coverage? Here in England there doesn't seem to be any - the BBC certainly haven't got it, which doesn't please me too much - but is that the case everywhere else as well? Loganberry (Talk) 14:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Following up my own question, there does appear to be a commercial offering of streaming audio commentary on Cricinfo, albeit not available in certain countries, but no traditional radio coverage anywhere in the world (that I've found). Loganberry (Talk) 16:31, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is live radio coverage in UAE through radio channel 106.2 Hum FM. I should list that. Also Willow.tv is showing the matches online, of course, for a fee. Sherenk (talk) 03:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

warm up matches[edit]

There should be a section for the warm up matches like in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 page.--Blackknight12 (talk) 14:17, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really see the point of having warm-up match details or scorecards on this page. They don't really contribute anything, take up far too much space and have too many red links. At the very least, create a "hide" box around them so that they can be hidden from view or make a separate article. Sherenk (talk) 05:24, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They should have a seperate articles. Aaroncrick (talk) 07:36, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

West Indies not eliminated[edit]

Un-red-highlighting West Indies since they can still theoretically proceed, if India and Pakistan both beat Australia, then West Indies totally thrashes India. Pirsq (talk) 16:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Only England is confirmed in qualifying for the semis. Sherenk (talk) 04:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone added "West Indies eliminated as a result" after the second match. I've moved that two matches lower, as West Indies were theoretically still in the running until the end of the Australia-India match. Pirsq (talk) 03:52, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tied on points[edit]

South Africa needed 313 or so to get ahead of Sri Lanka to retain hope of qualifying for the next round. Anyone know a source for the rules related to run rate (or whatever it is) used to separate sides? Tsinfandel (talk) 21:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some information is given over here Cricinfo Sherenk (talk) 03:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

England not B1 yet[edit]

England shouldn't be down as B1 yet for the semis. NZ could win and get better nrr. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.190.54 (talk) 12:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bowling economy rate[edit]

Since when was economy rate more important than bowling average? This ain't T20. Then why is economy being listed ahead of average in the bowling leaders table?

Question[edit]

Why do my edits keep getting removed? I don't see why using initials is better than full names, can somebody explain? 79.71.133.11 (talk) 22:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
