The only reason i can think of is the time difference in West Indies, thats why they are showing the highlights at quarter past eleven.

If they did put them on earlier, then the games could be carrying on. When England went over to West Indies in early 2004, did anyone see the time difference? it was 3:00 over here and the time over there was about 11:00 in the morning.
