bOOTH IN DHARAMSHALA: On the eve of his team's crucial World Cup game against Bangladesh, Jos Buttler has characterized Dharamshala's sandy outfield as "poor," and has wondered if it would influence a match England must win after losing to New Zealand's thrashing. After Saturday's match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, ICC officials rated the outfield 'average,' a decision with which Buttler and his staff vehemently disagreed. Buttler responded, 'Yeah, a few.' When asked if he had any questions about a surface that had been treated with sand after floods and a fungal infestation, he replied: 'Yes, a few.' It's bad, I suppose. If you're thinking about being cautious divers, it goes against everything you want to be as a team.
