    So, if you have any advice for surreptitious watching, then do share. You'll be doing your fellow man (and woman) a great service. If you don't have to watch surreptitiously, then brag about it and send us a pic, especially if you're somewhere exotic (extra points if you can get the action in).

    Finally, if all else fails, let's talk about the cricket. Who's going to win the World T20? Who will be the stars? And who will flop? Text 81111, tweet using the hashtag #bbccricket or email tms@bbc.co.uk.

  3. However, I do know that our shiny video clips provide you with a problem. I know that the live page is minimised on your desktop, with a sneaky peak taken when the boss isn't looking.

  5. And, if you're getting stuck into the meaty bit, who better to start with than the tournament hosts and favourites?

    India, with the weight of a nation on their shoulders (again), meet a tricky New Zealand in Nagpur.

  6. Yep, the qualifiers whetted the appetite with shocks (Oman), disappointments (Ireland), hitting (Tamim Iqbal) and spectacular moments (too many to mention).

    Now, though, it's time for the main course. Enough garlic mushrooms, fetch me the steak.

  7. And, with our brand spanking new in-play highlights, you can watch it all as it happens. 

    Which means you'll be able to see moments like this... 

  8. Maybe even some of this...

  11. WCW did, however, provide the perfect tagline to what will unfold between now and 3 April.

    Welcome to the 2016 World Twenty20.

    This is where the big boys play.

  12. At the beginning of the War, WCW gained an advantage by poaching some of the WWF's biggest stars. Household names like Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage jumped ship.

    Naturally, this has absolutely nothing to do with a cricket tournament in India more than 20 years later.

  13. In the mid-1990s, there were two rival professional wrestling factions in the United States. The WWF and WCW.

    Each week, the two would put their flagship television shows up against each other at prime time in what would become known as the Monday Night War.
