Why am i posting about Cricket
Because i just watched a game of Cricket which i found exciting.The drama of the last few overs was literally unbelievable. How on Earth can a team from a country that has only six Cricket pitches beat one of the best teams in the World, a bit like Andora winning the World cup in Football.
Roll on the Ashes
The Dutch really deserved it and it was a very exciting game.
The game came down to 3 instances of bad fielding by England (namely, Broad). He dropped a catch, fucked up an easy run out and then threw the ball wildly on the very last ball and allowed the Dutch to win from an overthrow
Take nothng away from the Dutch but the fielding conditions were very difficult for England. It rained for most of the time they were in the field and their handling was affected badly.
Just got back. Excellent game of cricket had a laugh with the Dutch supporters. England lost the game by not attacking the Dutch bowlers in the last 10 overs when they had wickets to spare. Holland deserved the win

you clearly dont know cricket then, stuart broad has been our best player for about year
I don't know much about cricket, that is true. But his catching and throwing left something to be desired in that last over.
the pressure can get to all of us. its not his fault we lost, we lost coz we didnt attack enough while batting
The pressure can get to all of us...just think the English cricket team like so many teams now don't have the character, the balls, to do it when it matters.
Australi will not be shitting themselves come the Ashes
