No. The tie would have bee smart cause they would go to a one over eliminator and that would have allowed Anderson to bowl again. Lets face it, England would have wo that one over eliminator.

I think there's a super over to be played if the game is tied. He didnt have to throw it.
Bottled it.
And it shows that anyone can beat anyone in 20/20.
But anyway, Holland are probably the best in the world.
Where's Addict?
England will win it and you can get pretty decent odds aswell.
Stick another 100 on them. You'll get even better odds now.
No he didn't, yeah, if they are in form and fielding well I might agree with you, but when he didn't seem to be able to hit the stumps for anything it was a silly decision.
Taking the draw and the super over play-off thing would have given us another chance, we'd have had a good chance of beating Holland over one over, surely.
Broad fecked up.
I love England being shit at something gets everyone excited here. I just got texts saying "England hahahahahahahahahaha", "England je bent een zak stront"
Six pretty basic runouts missed by England.
Beaten by Holland.Our cricket couldn't get any lower.
Everyone loves seeing England lose and rubbing it in.
Stupid school boy fielding errors cost England but great game in the end.
Yeah exactly. Anyone who thinks otherwise are just deluding themselves.
The responses in this thread make it sound like we gave them the match on a plate They were excellent and deserved the win. Worthy winners, hats off and ENJOY IT YOU GUYS
THIS is why I love cricket. I also fear for Brad's well being after this!

Getting beat by Holland goes beyond not being great at the limited overs stuff.
Broad was frustrating at the end but we lost it with our batting.
The way we were set up, losing wickets was a devastating blow to our momentum, as the new batsmen wasn't capable of speeding up the run rate. We just weren't set up right at all. Wright and Bopara are both inexperienced and not use to opening, and then we had openers coming in too late. They got to 10 overs and didnt know what the feck to do. Alright Bops and Wright batted well, but there wasnt a secure head. Some of their shot choices were poor. Why were they trying to hit it over the top of long on at fecking Lords, where the boundaries are ridiculously long but thin. Why was Bopara not aiming to bat through the innings. We really missed them, or another big hitter, lower down the order. And then we have innings-building batsmen coming in too late.

Agreed. We didn't have anyone lower down the order capable of causing havoc for a few overs. It's as if they thought hitting sixes was considered cheating. We were 101-0 after 11 overs, only to trundle to 162-5 after 20. I think England thought that would be enough. Oops.
Pathetic performance by England, great job done by the Dutch
Pathetic by england, just dont know how to play the flippin game!
Why'd ya throw it Stu?
Bloody hell.
Bloody hell.
Brilliant stuff. Cant wait for the Ashes.

"England you are a sack of shite"
How can we fecking get beat by fecking Holland at cricket. People over here fecking hate the game.
I thought Holland played well and deserved there win .
We made lots of schoolboy errors and could of won the game on missed runouts.
The rain did not help ,made the ball slippy , oh bollocks it was nothing to do with the rain we was shit ,end off.
We will still make the super 8 stage ,this was just a blip
Yeah because Pakistan weren't beaten by Ireland even more shamefully in the 50 overs world cup.
At least this thread has come to life.
Games today:
New Zealand v Scotland, The Oval (1000)

mmmmmm looks like some good matches , but whats the chance of no play ?
The Oval has 1/2 a chance ,but looking at the waether for Trent Bridge looks dreadful all day.
Raining at the Oval.
Delayed start.
They are looking at the latest start for a 5 over match is 12.30
What happens if the games are not played due to rain ?

I can't believe you lot are saying "Holland played great and deserved it".. ffs.. those guys are teachers and cops in real life, they're not even professional cricket players.. it's a third-rate team.. England fecked up big time

They fielded better , they bowled better and part from Wright they batted beter,so yes IMHO they deserved to win.
We could of had 4 maybe 5 run outs,we could of bolwed better to stop them scoring the fours and 6's.
Wright might of scored 70 odd but for me he still looks like he is scared of the bat and he did not score a single 6.
7 overs a side
NZ bowl first
Should win comfortably.

England .
Hardly suprising, we specialise in shite like this.
Who cares about 20/20 anyway.
It's all about the ashes.
In the bag.

at last they are on the pitch
Hopefully the rain will stay away and the next match Aussies and Windies will be a full game
you was saying Scotland just knocked 18 of the first over
I know, wth?
NZ getting battered

if 20/20 was a great leveller, a 7 over bash is anyone's game.
NZ will still win, IMO
90 off 7 overs
90 off 7 overs
cracking 7 overs.
90 in 7 will not be that easy , lets see what the Scotland bowlers can do the batters did them proud
If NZ lose, that'll probably be it for them and Scotland will be in India's group.. don't want that.. that'll be very boring if England too go out
It's still not cricket, though. The game is evolving into baseball.
It's alright. Short tournament, so it's ok.
