The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

This is the highest score against India so far in the pool stage. SA, Pak, WI couldn't do better. But they aren't known for their consistency.

Looking forward to MS Dhoni padding out his average this afternoon, waiting until the last two overs to hit some sixes and get called a hero

I've forgotten what the quote about trying to kill people was but Dhawan just tried to kill the Irish keeper and he looks like he did it deliberately etc.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

He's getting slammed by all the commenters, the Zimbabwean fans seem quite levelheaded (until you get down to the ones talking about quotas and how the "boys" cost them the game after the white players set it up for the win).

Even if England find a couple of exciting aggressive batsman in the near future they still have the problem of not having any strike bowlers.
