: do television stations in England, Wales, Oz, NZ, etc. carry our baseball world series?

Is there a similar thing for cricket?

Here in NZ, The World Series is available to anybody with ESPN - those who don't have it, probably don't miss it! There is a "World Series" in cricket, run by the Australian Cricket Board - it is always a triangular contest, featuring Australia and two other nations. That is as close as cricket comes to the laughably Americocentric impression given by calling the NBL's championship "The World Series" (doff of hat to tsuwm for his earlier post explaining the true origin of the term)

The International Council also runs a real World Cup, in which every nation represented on the ICC can compete - at last count well over 30. Most of these nations get knocked out in qualifying tournaments, so that the actual World Cup is still a Commonwealth reunion, except for the presence of The Netherlands at the last one.
