ICC World T20 (Cricket)

Day 1, Match 1. England vs. The Netherlands

It rains a lot in "sunny" England. The tournament's opening ceremony was washed out, though the 30 minutes reserve made sure a complete 20-20 contest went through. The Netherlands beat England....this time at cricket. It is especially an important win, because it potentially upsets a lot of things in the group.

The "flying Dutchman" here is Peter Borren, Ravi Bopara trying to knock him off

Tom de Grooth. 49 runs were as good as 50.

Stuart Broad, though English fielding was sloppy. Broad couldn't knock the bails off two occasions where he was closer to the stumps than the Dutch batsman was. Then again the ball was damp.

India was very close to an upset, although the media here wants to sugar-coat it with "champion stuff" and every gay expression they can think of. With the conditions in England, it's becoming increasingly important that you win the toss and choose to field.
