I wouldn't say 'horrible', more wrong in the particular situation.

Except without the rain and reserve day meaning I don't get to see the result even though I travelled from London to Edgbaston to watch the bloody deciding game between England and India.[/rant].Be just like 99 again if we go out

don't know about england Vs Pakistan match, but can bet, this netherland side 'll not score 120 against Pakistan
YES!
Yea it's awesome to read/watch. You lot are all a shambles.
Wrong, you have to go for that runout. Whoever should have been backing up has to take full blame for that.
AWTA, they'll get 160 or something. Believe me, these guys can bat if you hadn't noticed.
As I said earlier England are fortunate that Pakistan are pretty abysmal right now and despite tonight's result have a chance of beating them, though they'll have to bat really well (unless of course Pakistan bowl like they did against India) and put that Pakistani batting line up under some real pressure. They'll really need Pietersen to be fit to take on Afiridi and Ajmal in the middle or it's going to be very tough. Key shouldn't be anywhere near the side if he isn't opening, Morgan isn't good enough, think Wright will fail against Pakistan's quality.
Collingwood was useless as a captain today, held back his best bowlers for far too long when wickets were needed, field placings were pretty poor, especially for Rashid. Broad's round the wicket tactic looks stupid and prone to wide deliveries in this format, better batsmen will destroy him. Martin Crowe once said that Collingwood was the worst international captain he had ever seen from a tactical stand point, Colly not doing much to prove him wrong.

they can bat, but Pakistan 'll take them seriously
Hmmm...you do have a point there.England were guilty of not believing they would be in trouble until it was too late.

Come on mate, you know perfectly well that it is just stupid journos that have the knee jerk reactions to these things. The English fans on CW are as (non) level-headed as any other national fans.

Netherlands have only shown a glimpse of what they can do. You just wait until Dirk Nannes fires.
Finalist material.
Great start to the tournament. Associate wins always stir up the most emotion and controversy. Even if this tournament flops, a lasting memory will always be the jubilation of the Dutch players bursting onto the field in celebration of the winning run.
