Only following on cricinfo but it sound a shucking fambles from us. The no-ball for not enough in the circle is just schoolgirl stuff.
Kudos to the Orangemen tho and, objectively, this is exactly what a moribund tournament needs. Just a shame it's against us.
Highest total by an associate versus a top eight test nation I assume?

Why is everyone saying 'well that was fun but England'll knock this off easy'? This is England in a World Cup (any sport except Rugby), of course we won't knock this off easy, if at all.
I was going to say that we may be okay for the rest of the tournament cause we started off with a nearly embarrassing game against Ireland in the T20 World Cup last year before rain interrupted. Then I remembered we won't be al right because we're ****.

...even as an England fan the sheer astronomical levels of Schadenfreude involved in this performance were completely hilarious. The proverbial cherry on top of the cake came with Swann's embarassing miss in the last over mind. Just when you felt it couldn't reach new levels of ineptitude...it did! Awesome innings from Ten Doeschate though, WAG.Not entirely confident about the chase either TBH, generally when England bowl and field terribly we don't usually bat particularly well either. The virus tends to spread rapidly through the team, if you will.

Yeah, unless Pietersen, Bell, Bopara and Prior score them of course.

It would if it wasn't 2 weeks too long, a month to complete the first phase is a joke. Got a horrible feeling many people will grow tired of the fact that the thing lasts for far too long.

Worst English performance involving the Dutch since the Battle of Arnhem tbh.

England to blaze away to 50/0 in 6 overs and then fall apart to get all out for 210

agree 100%. any world cup of any sport inthe world has a large group of so called minnows that compete. it's part of the charm of the world cup. take that away and it just becomes a shootout betweenthe regular teams.
icc displaying again why they're a bunch of tards

I see the masterplan of doing our utmost to convince everyone else that there is no planning whatsoever involved in England's ODI cricket continues perfectly.
