Granted, we lost to the dutch, but we still won our group, where did your lot finish?

I don't recall, I was at the "coffee" shop Pass de dutchie.....oh, and some more gouda alstublieft

"England crashed to one of their most ignominious cricketing defeats of all time, as the Netherlands won the ICC World Twenty20 curtain-raiser at Lord's by scoring two runs off the final ball amid scenes of scarcely believable drama ...

Chasing a target of 163, which would have been much higher had England batted with any conviction in the second half of their innings, the Dutch stayed up with the required run-rate throughout.
Tom de Grooth's 30-ball innings of 49 was the chief catalyst to a famous victory, and the sheer adventure shown by the Dutch was best exemplified by the four sixes they hit. England had failed to hit a single one. ...

and, in truth, the night was as much about a brilliant team performance from the Dutch as the desperately lacklustre cricket England produced..."

I'm such a little stirrer ...

"Ah, The Netherlands. Famous for Vincent van Gogh and other arty things, windmills, tulips, wooden clogs, their orange sporting kits, and now. Now, they are famous for having a cricket team! That can beat England! Well... That's not particularly difficult. Or surprising, given that England seem to heap a lot of their failure on themselves."

Ah the time of year when I live up to my name.

1. Ashes
2. Wimbledon
3. Tour de France

I like the cricket coverage on TV, but love the ABC radio broadcast too!

Wimbledon? Isn't that stupid game where they keep hitting a ball backwards & forwards over a dumb net? And what the hell is Tour de France? Does it involve tourists? (I would put a smiley face but ...)

Tour de FRance is lovely scenery - ignore the bikes.





(Sorry !)

Yes, I admit ... I like table tennis, after a couple of beers, it's quite hysterical ...

Tour de France is an expo of performance enhancing drugs.(ditto with the smilies)
