T20 Cricket - England vs. Netherlands

[Frutos]

I'm not particularly a cricket expert, but aren't we meant to be doing a bit better than this? I know it doesn't matter in terms of the tournament, but surely we should be beating teams like this?

They got 133, we're currently 42-5 in reply and not exactly looking impressive to my eye.

Just shows how much disarray the team is in at the moment

 

[Frutos]

52-6....absolute arse-up of a run-out.

Put England in the minnows group next time so that they need to qualify - humiliation

A bright future awaits under the motivational guidance of Ashley Giles...

Was anyone clever enough to back Holland here? Dispirited England, Holland have had a decent tournament, dead rubber.

I thought about it.

Quite. The King of Spain is a well justified shoo-in for the top job.

He shouldn't be within a million miles of an international leadership role. All the charisma of, appropriately, a wheelie bin....

 

[Frutos]

74-7.

 

[Frutos]

76-8

Hopefully this means Giles doesn't get the job full time...HOWEVER knowing how incompetent the ECB are, he'll still probably get it.

 

[Frutos]

86-9....pathetic.

 

[Razzoo]

Sake!

 

[pasty]

A fitting incompetent end to an incompetent display.

88 all out off 17.4 over

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

What a shambles

Is this the same bowling attack Sussex tonked last year

 

[Frutos]

Ridiculously shambolic run-out to finish with.

 

[pasty]

Lowest ever T20 total by a full international status side against an associate status side

 

[Bold Seagull]

That would be the only positive. Ashley Giles cannot be allowed to take England forwards not a chance.

I'm moving toward seeing Peter Moores being given another chance. It probably was the right time for him previously to reinvent the side, but I do think he could come in now as we need a mini revolution throughout the set up.
