    Apparently it's available on prime video if you have it with VPN switched to Australia and on the ICC app if set to certain countries, France is 1 that apparently will work
    Can't see us doing that well in it mind

    Shame India hasn’t travelled to Pakistan. It gives them an unfair advantage knowing they will play on the same ground every game. Should be a good tournament regardless.

    Not watched it but O'Rourke got three wickets. Hopefully he does well for Yorks this summer.

    I got up and caught the last 2 hours, as the game started at 1:00 PST. I knew it was ominous for one side, or the other, when a black cat walked across the outfield.

    They always start strong in tournaments but don't win anything...

    India have far too much power in high places. They should have been replaced in the tournament for not being willing to travel to Pakistan.

    Netflix recently released an OK three parter on the rivalry of the two countries. It's a shame they never tour eachother and that IPL owners refuse to sign Pakistan players.

    Absolutely this.

    Although with how big the toss bias is in Dubai, with a bit of luck, they'll get shafted in the group stages.

    I can only presume they'll win all three tosses though.

    Knowing the Indians they’ll have a double headed coin… I can’t see England getting close to winning it but I hope anyone but India do.

    Oh look, they've won the toss.

    What a surprise.

    I wasn’t aware of India’s choice not to play in Pakistan… it is absolutely terrible and shouldn’t have been allowed.
    By the way, I thought Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat which is certainly unusual.
    Have I misheard something ?

    Didn't even notice ffs.

    Don't think it would make much difference in this one though!

    Look at the reserve 11 you could put out for India who for one reason or another aren't in this.

    Bumrah, Jaiswal, Dube, Abishek Sharma, Arshdeep etc.

    It doesn’t seem long since most of our current team wouldn’t be playing because of the likes of Bairstow, Roy, Malan and Moeen.
    Perhaps they should still be playing

    They've just been thrashed by Sri Lanka and their bowling attack is decimated by injuries.
