I really, truthfully don't know what to say here...England losing at home (at Lord's no less) to The Netherlands in the opening game of Cricket's Twenty20 World Cup has to be the lowest point of England's (admittedly dismal) cricketing history! My, how the Australians must be worried about the upcoming Ashes battle this summer!
As the BBC described it - England crashed to one of their most ignominious cricketing defeats of all time, as the Netherlands won the ICC World Twenty20 curtain-raiser at Lord's by scoring two runs off the final ball amid scenes of scarcely believable drama!
Now getting beaten by the Dutch at football is one thing, but cricket!! One has to wonder if Graham Taylor (disastrous ex England football manager)) took temporary charge of the team...just for a laugh to see what would happen??
For the Netherlands to beat England at the home of cricket represents an astonishing achievement, and they were thoroughly deserving of their victory. But the England team should find a very deep hole, fall into it and hope someone buries them, before the Aussies do later in the Summer.
