Well, DC will now be a total cad and poke fun at us that his lot of cloggies beat us at cricket.

WTF is going on?

Vaughan, you must be joking. Do the cloggies know what cricket is? I doubt it.

i watched the whole game!bloody pathetic,we had lots of wickets in hand last 5 or 6 overs and we never went after the bowling! even robert key came in and was just placing singles around,we never hit one six either! dutch played well and deserved the win!

Hi Ismet,



No joke. Unfortunately, our attempts at playing cricket are.

Holland beat ENGLAND at cricket..?!! I can't believe it. There are only 6.000 players of this only number 26 ranked sport in the Netherlands! Most Dutchmen have no idea how to spell the word cricket!! OK, this is enough... Right now I tell myself to stop laughing... But, really, I CAN'T...



PS. What is a wicket (or wikket?)..?

It was pathetic......I had the misfortune to watch ! It is the equivalent of the football team being beat by Borat's boys tonight !

Hi DC,



The rules of cricket are simple:



You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.



Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.



When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.



Sometimes you get men still in and not out.



When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.



There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.



When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!



Surely, even a Dutchman could work that out?

RE msg 8, TRNCVaughan > Surely, even a Dutchman could work that out? <



=> Well, obviously the Dutch national team could... But how about the English team..?

Its all Gordon Browns fault, he has even brought our once great cricket team to its knees beaten by a group of men wearing clogs !

You could see it coming, the england team have been falling out since Peterson was captain, both he and Flintoff both think they are too good for England, choosing IPL getting injured...., not one test Aussie was in the IPL, resting for the forthcoming 20-20 and ashes series.



selectors have no back bone...



Its a disgrace!!
