England's Darkest Hour: Yesterday

The Dutch, a non-test nation(!!!), beat us at 20,20 cricket.
The last run was an embarrassment as the ball was fielded long of the wickets.

This is a dark, dark day.

Can't wait for the Ashes series.

Should be interesting, that's for sure - both teams are very different from the last Ashes series.

You go wash your mouth out with soap

I never realised you were a cricket fan Letum

We came good against the worlds worst cheaters (in cricket terms) yesterday.....a 48 run victory over Pakistan.

We are now through to the super eights regardless of the Netherlands v Pakistan result.

For the cons to progress they will have to grab their second chance against the Sri Lankans like we did against Pakistan if they want to progress.

I've actually got the ECB badge tattoed on my right bicep and had TarJak pay homage to it every evening when we were sharing a room in Houston last October.

My tip for the eventual winners has got to be South Africa, based on what I have seen thus far.

I also remain deeply concerned at the prospects of our Ashes chances this summer.

We have to beat the Sri Lankans to get beat by the Kiwis. Mind you this 20/20 form of the game is too short to get a proper drink in. That's what i like about the tests. 5 days! Yum!

Didn't you say something like that last time I posted a cricket related thread?

TarJak · 06-08-09, 09:49 PM

It's his memory Letum. He showed me his tattoo every night and I said "Yes Jim, you showed it to me last night and it still looks like 3 cats pissing on each other heads to me. Now go to bed!"

EDIT: Now that Australia is out of the contest we can rest and wait for July 8 and when the real contest begins.
