This is all his fault. I don't know how, but it is.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry
Yes I do, I'm going to laugh.

Lets make no mistake about it. 45 runs in T20 is an absolute caning, and to lose by as many against a part time side like Netherlands is quite frankly embarrassing.
Heads should roll.
I am pig sick of England turning up at these tournaments and stinking the place out, it's been happening for over 20 years.

Well, I am pig sick of England over the last 12 months, but we did win this tournament 4 years ago....

They won this tournament 4 or 5 years ago under Paul Collingwood.
Guess who player of the tournament was?

Weirdly this how me and Dad felt after Ulloa's penalty on Saturday and we eventually had tears streaming down our face. That was the tipping point. It was so bad, it became funny. Then quickly followed by the Boro right back nutmegging Lua Lua after his stray pass.

That went well. I may have to lay low in Belgium for a while...
I'm guessing the Dutch barely know what cricket even is.
Which makes it even worse.

Tis true, last time this happened I cringed on the inside, but no one said a word to me about it.

Could be a blessing in disguise, Giles doesn't fill me with any confidence.

Nothing to play for. England actually played quite well against NZ and Sri Lanka. Our poor last 5 over bowling (yes, you Mr Dernbach) against the Saffers meant we lost that one by 3 runs. Glad I did not watch this one...

Actually, 2 players batted well against Sri Lanka, other than that we were awful in that game, bowled and fielded incredibly badly and lost 2 wickets in the first over.

Could not disagree more, and I've been a (qualified) defender of Giles up until now. They have fielded abysmally, bowled poorly (apart from one game, on a tricky pitch, against an ASSOCIATE COUNTRY) and batted reasonably (again apart from one game, against an associate). Take out Hales one brilliant knock and we've been crap.
This is literally the only positive.
What has happened to Broad though? At 27, I'm surprised he hasn't really kicked on.

I think Ashley Giles might be the worst ever coach in charge of any England cricket side since Ted Dexter. The prospect of him being at the helm at the start of an Ashes test series is truly horrifying, it's like putting the village idiot in charge of the bank while the manager's out at lunch.
It really is baffling. Especially when they're many candidates who could replace him.
