What is the cheapest way of getting the Cricket World Cup matches?

I thought i had seen adverts of a £14 package on TV, but when Googling for this, I can't see any reference.

I have Sky, but not Sky Sports.

When was the last time you phoned sky and threatened to cancel? If you've not done it for a while do that, and they'll probably give you sports for a tenner. Appreciate that will mean you are stuck with it for a while but it will probably work out cheaper anyway as you'll get a good reduction

Last time I didn't even have to do the I'm cancelling bit, just say it's a bit prices chaps whadda ya got. Go about 50% discount.

It's been a while. I didn't want to get tied into a 18 month Sky Contract. But it's a good suggestion.
I generally hate calling, as it's probably going to waste a 2 hours!

Are they offering a Cricket only package, is or Sky Sport mandatory?

Yeah its all Sky Sports, can't just pick the cricket. I pay for the lot but only 10 quid a month on the current contract. Now TV do a temp contract you can cancel anytime, but that's 21 quid.

I've signed up for NowTV Sports package for the American Football season (Sept-Jan) rather than 'proper Sky' as it is much cheaper and easy to cancel.

The only issue is that the streamed version of Sky Sports is about a minute behind 'reality' so if you have an app that does real time alerts (or a mate supporting a different team who might send you a mocking text when they score) then you need to hide your phone (and social media) for the match duration.

Just seen the ad. It is 14 quid cancel anytime so probably a good bet.
