ICC 20/20 World Cup

Not too many cricket fans here i know but anyone following it? It should be an awesome tournament. Given the unpredictable nature of this format, no one team is a clear favourite to win.
Host England take on Netherlands today.

17 from 11 now. Thats why i love 20/20. No match is one sided and you cannot predict the winner till the last ball is bowled.

Caught it late (don't like this 20/20 stuff) but as I heard it England failed at the end of their innings, the Dutch chased and chased very well. England's fielding wasn't bad just the batting.

I was reading the commentary on cricinfo. England missed 3 run out chances. You cannot win 20/20 games if you field poorly.

With me being half Dutch and half Sri Lankan, I could never in a million years think that i would look to my Dutch side for some cricketing pride........

What a match, the dutch were hero's. I think they have a chance against a rusty pakistan team as well. Ireland beat the dutch the other day so im confident Ireland will win this tournament. I will book the open top bus now :biggrin:

I f***ing hate Ricky Pointing. Jen thinks the W.Indies have it in the bag with a final against India.
