Surely there must be people here on EWB who are following this? minnows Netherlands are giving England one hell of a fight at the moment and need 12 to win from 9 balls.

I am happy as long as anyone other then India wins the tournament really, arrogant bastards.

Dear me. To be expected from England though.

Jesus Christ we're shitter than I expected. Then again, we hardly went for it either, typical England, we should've been looking to score 200+ against Netherlands, yet what do we do: 8 an over, seriously?

[Mongrel]

Pretty amazing effort by the Dutch to do it without much assistance from Dirty Dirk and ten Doeschate.

[Zaz]

OH HELL YEAH

Seen this on two forums now, where did you get it from originally?

[EddieG]

Well.. the original picture was on BBC Sport.. the writing and the effect done by yours truely.

[nabeel]

That means we're through at least

[EddieG]

England have to beat Pakistan to get through I read. What have Holland gotta do? I don't follow cricket at all to be honest..

In other words can somebody give me a quick breakdown of how this tournament works?

Funny, saw it with that writing on an Aussie rugby league forum of all places.

Edit: They even linked it directly from your site. Aight, which one of you is it?

Reply 1911. DB makes me think Darloboy but I doubt that. Flamin' Mongrel is another shout but I don't think he follows league.

[EddieG]

Haha, awesome.. no credit though >_> I wonder where they got it from ;S

[The Quasi Juice]

Wait, this is cricket and Holland actually beat England?

[db07]

I am going to be honest guys...... I am the db that posted on that rugby league site. Do you want me to credit you.

Yeah wasn't me.

England once again proving that, no matter how good we are at it at domestic level, they are complete shite at international level T20. Tbh a few things let us down here but there's too many to go into detail about. All I can say is that broad had three chances to get a wicket in the final over and missed all three. Hopefully England learn from this and come back stronger.

All Holland have to do is hope that Pakistan beat England. basically three teams in each group play each other once, with the top two going through to the super 8's. In that each team play each other once and the top 4 teams in that go into the semi-Finals stage.

Hope that cleared it up for you a little (Y)
