Well played you dutch, you deserved to win. Can't believe we stuffed that game, shocking batting and fielding especially. Although good to see the Essex man Ten Doeschate performing well.

I only ever played Cricket once, it ended up me whacking my friend in the face with a bat by accident. Also, is Cricket the game which lasts hours and hours and hours and hours?

Cricket matches vary in length from 3 hours to five days. It is the best team game ever. And we beat Pakistan today so are garanteed pretty much to progress in the tournament

I fractured a wicketkeepers skull fast bowling at school.
Cricket's excellent, and 20-20 is great to watch. Good result against Pakistan, who were badly let down by some poor fielding.

Haha how did you do that Johnimus? Lol I found a game about 2 start today, so went to see what was happening and within 20 mins I was home, changed and fielding! Got a nice 5-fer to for my efforts
And I'm off to Lords tomorrow, Pakistan v Netherlands and South Africa v New Zealand. Should be a good day!

it was a simple case of him being too close to the wickets. I bowled a fast one down and the batsman decided to move, and the keeper didn't see it in time to move.
