Nice to be proved wrong in this case and well done Eng on a fantastic win against NZ.Also apologies to India (see my post on Al's previous blog). Thought they were totally shot but what a victory against Oz.Unless my combatorial maths has gone AWOL (if Tails gets to read this I'm sure she can advise), a win against the West Indies on Tuesday puts us in the final (logic: NZ/India have to play each other so one of them must end up on at least 2 losses like Oz, Pak, Windies so Eng beating the West Indies means England end up with a maximum of 1 loss). Fantastic.

Where is the live commentary? It seems to me that women's sport in general gets a very rough deal, even when we have one of the best sides in the world, certainly one that can consider competing for the title, which is more than can be said for the men's team currently.

Good foot movement, lovely straight bat and full follow through, with the elbow high. Plus a stunning England catch at short leg that Ian Bell would have been proud of !Also a valiant attempt running back in the deep towards the boundary that had it stuck, would have been a contender for 'catch of the season' ! More of the same please girls, in the 'super sixes'. Good luck.

Had nothing else to do so turned on Fox Sports and watched the England v Pakistan game for a while and was pleasantly surprised that the techniques of many with bat and ball were good on both sides. Here in oz they are covering every single match live which can only be good for the game.Come on girls, make us proud to be English and achieve something the men have never been able to do.All the best.

Women are so much more interesting to watch than men, and have a sportmenship (sportswomenship?) towards each other that the primping men lack. More of the same please.

Some of England's games are being shown live on Sky and you can find details here: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12943,00.html.

Her team is Hayes Hurricanes so we're cheering for the team and L. Greenway.Disappointing as coverage is late night on Sky (we don't have) and no day time highlights. So we rely on BBC & Sky sports news for updates.C'mon England Thu 12 Mar 2009 14:06:59 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tms/2009/03/tougher_tasks_ahead_for_englan.shtml?page=0#comment0 Hi Alison,Just a quick question - who has the TV rights to this year's tournament and can we see it on any UK channels?
