Who'd have thunk it? Aussies out of Twenty20, England through to Super 8!

It's disappointing to go out of the tournament and I can't explain why.
The training was spot on and there was a good attitude but in the big moments we haven't been able to play and we made too many mistakes

Let me just point out that Holland are actually not that bad a team. Up until a few years ago they played in the English county one day championship and would still be there if not for the TV people who didn't see Holland as a commercially interesting team. They have a few players in English counties and the top level of Dutch domestic cricket includes several Pakistani and Sri Lankan professionals; the standard in the premier division is comparable to English city leagues like the Birmingham league. OK, so England shouldn't really be losing to them, but it's not such a disgrace; any top team can have a bad day, and if they have a bad day against a team of that standard there's a chance they'll be beaten.
