Yup, I have a mate (Muslim) and he shows me videos of what is happening in India, with them trying to convert all muslims and the christians that are in India, and that's coming from the top, so it's a mixture of religion and politics for sure

All politics in India has echos of religion but they are not one and the same inseparable phenomena.

Please dont bring religion into it. India is home ground to Afghanistan and Indians cheered for Afghanistan. Don’t start religious debate to divert the thread.

Which is exactly what has happened.

Another reason I'm missing the Windies in this tournament.

Sri Lanka making short work of The Netherlands by the look of things.

I feel this is a must win game for England

What is it with Buttler he wants to bowl first?!

Not gone too bad (so far!)

I hope Alan Donald is going to phone and scream dogs abuse at de koeck for not walking after a clear edge? Apparently South Africans walk, England don’t. Atherton will remember that well

Assuming Stokes can’t bowl that’s 10 each for the 5 bowlers plus maybe the odd one from Root. The batting depth is much reduced - on paper at least. Although Livingstone Woakes and Curran haven’t exactly batted well

36c in Mumbai but feels like 40c.

I've been to Mumbai and it's not the heat that gets you but the humidity. It really does take it out of you. England need to make the best of this good start because later on they are really going to feel it in the field

Glad I said “so far”!
