Synopsis

Chris England spent five weeks covering the 2002 World Cup, when football became Japan's newest religion, constantly on the lookout for the odd, the offbeat and the downright strange. He ended up not only seeing plenty of football by also getting buried up to the neck in hot black volcanic sand, serenading Lawrie McMenemy with a bunch of drunk British MPs, performing stand-up comedy to an audience who spoke no English and visiting a railway station under the sea.

Media Reviews
- Acclaim for BALHAM TO BOLLYWOOD: 'An extremely funny story of acting, movies, maleness, sport, and post-colonial India' - Daily Telegraph - 'Fascinating and funny...a hilarious sequence of adventures, misdaventures and downright oddities. Side-stepping or subverting the usual cliches of the British in India, England's book is a truly original read.' - Wisden Cricket Monthly - 'This is a charming, hugely recommended, fun book.' - Cricketer - 'Even if you are only interested in one out of India, cricket, or the movies, you will love this book, and, having read it, be gripped by all three.' - Tim Rice - 'An amusing mix of excitement and disaster, from the co-writer of An Evening With Gary Lineker' - Mail on Sunday
