T20 Pakistan vs Netherlands

[Coalman]

With ten Doeschate they have a slight chance; once he goes they're fooked.

They're now fooked - ten Doeschate out, three wickets left 7 overs to get 76 runs.

Shame.

[Doggy Styles]

So England thrash Pakistan, and Pakistan thrash Holland - that means England are miles better than Holland, right?

It's not a shame. They've gone out all guns firing and given it everything, beating England in the process and gaining respect for Dutch cricket. I can't fault them.

Its bit transitive dude...

Holland can say We thrashed England and England thrashed Pakistan, so we are miles better than Pakistan.

Pakistan can say, We thrashed Holland and Holland thrashed England, so we are miles better than England.



This format is just a lottery

[Mich the Tester]

93 all out.

Worthy effort at a crap format of cricket. However, this should wake up a few people at the ECB that NL should be welcomed back to the county one day championship instead of their disgraceful dumping for the sake of commercial pressures.

Hold on, why were Holland invited into an English cricket competition in the first place if not for commercial reasons? Unless we annexed them of course.

Because they were good enough and it helped develop the game outside its traditional boundaries. Nothing wrong with that; all sports need to maximise their audience to pay the bills.
