The 2015 Cricket World Cup moves on to the knock-out stage: The quarterfinals start tomorrow afternoon (11:30 EDT tonight for those of us not in that part of the world) with a showdown between Sri Lanka and South Africa.
We gotta romanticize something, so it may as well be Sri Lankan bowler extraordinaire, Lasith Malinga.

I'm not advocating dodgy internet sites or anything, but...

Note that this site seems to chop and change sources from time to time to be ahead of the ICC.

And now I see that ESPN has dropped the price for their live streaming to $40. Probably, maybe, for USA residents only?

Only 7 games left, so less than 6 bucks per game, I suppose.

Well, there's the advantage of viewing the game in much higher resolutions than what watchcric can offer. Also, replay. I'm waiting for the SL/SA match to be over then I'm going to fire it up and watch it while at work today.

There is a 30-minute "highlights" show that pops up in the late hours on the Sportsnet channels (Canadian). The actual games are PPV/subscription to watch, so that's not an option for me, but I've been enjoying some of the highlights.
