May be a problem as everywhere I have asked round city are showing the Super 8 1/4 Final 20X20 Croquet or some numbered sport like that.

Think this will be the case at the Sports Cafe too. The bold in the list is the 'featured game' for the night. May need to get together somewhere to get one screen/bar turned over, any other votes for the Sports Cafe?

Don't Sports Cafe have at least 2 Sky boxes? The one in Leeds has several.

Cant see too many Oz bars showing the T20 now

we watched Leeds v Manly in Sports Cafe in Piccadilly.

If you ask nicely, they'll put it on one of the screens for you and you can watch whilst the sound of another sport screams out from the sub woofers.

At the time, we had to contend with Spanish and Italian football and hoards of European students/travellers. They seem to have cornered that market, poss their new strategy?

Other option is one of their booths, but again you'll likely have to do without commentary.
