Worshipping the Indian Cricket Team

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Worshipping the Indian Cricket Team

Is it time British Indians stopped worshipping the Indian cricket team?

Is it time British Indians stopped worshipping the Indian cricket team? Plus Anat Barzilay talks about her new play. And is it OK to leave food on your plate at a restaurant?

Naresh Puri sits in for Nihal. At 1, Is it time British Indians stopped worshipping the Indian cricket team?

How badly do you feel let down by the Indian cricket team? They came here as the best side in the world, off the back of the World Cup win but yesterday they were humbled at Lords. 

Indian fans turned out in force and outnumbered England fans at the home of cricket but is all that passion for Dhoni, Tendulkar and Co wasted? 

Should India cricket fans living here take a long hard look at themselves and realise they've been supporting the wrong team? Are India worthy of the adoration poured upon them by their fans? 

Or will you support India to the day you die, even if they lose this series four nil? Will you continue to support India because Bharat is in your blood?

After 2- Later we'll be talking to the star of a play which is due to make it's debut at the Edinburgh festival, Anat Barzilay, about her production 'Samira'. It deals with a 50-year-old suicide bomber in Israel. After 2.30 we're asking- Is it ever OK to leave food on your plate at a restaurant?
