lol that is piss poor. Didn't see any of the game but no doubt they will change all the players again. England are crap at limited overs.

[Danny C]

England oh England

[JSDOUVRES]

Great game and well done Netherlands, Totally deserved victory!
I'd like to know if the game was actually transmitted live in Holland though, perhaps a dutch fan on here could confirm if it was or not?

"Pietersen awoke today with general stiffness in his body and therefore didnt play"

Two decent sides contesting the Ashes but thats all they are. Don't know alot about the Aussies, other than that they have lost 2 of the greatest bowlers of all time and still have the ageing Ponting.

England can't bowl. Panasar and Broad are not good enough and they don't have a decent keeper. England do have match winners though. The improving Anderson, Pieterson and a fit Flintoff, can win a game on their own. I can see a lot of runs scored and some bore draws.

My feeling is Australia slumped when the great players retired,
particularly in bowling. But the rebuilding has gone well with
half a dozen young bowlers all now past their nervous introduction.

It may be a well matched series.

England v Pakistan has got off to a great start. I wish someone would smash the Pakistani wicketkeeper over the head. He hasn't shut up.

[Patrick Bateman]

I wish somebody would shut Alec Stewart up.

[Undertaker]

Oh i haven't seen him. He could wind himself up, nevermind anyone else. Hussain is similar. Criticises every f*** but he never produced the goods as captain.

English cricket went the same was as the football team, after they won the Ashes. They all thought they were gods, not Cricketers. Since Capello took over the football team, you can see the change when you install a bit of discipline and there are no ego's allowed. Thats what the Cricket team need to get back to.

[Patrick Bateman]

Oh Stewart's on the radio. Insufferable.

I'm going for South Africa to win the whole tournament.

England have one decent player who is erm, South African.
