    Sorry for posting non-football related article but for those trying to follow England in cricket world cup England are having a nightmare in the field. Rubbish bowling, misfields and dropped catches all over the place. Holland scored 292-6.

    Not sure how good the Dutch bowling attack is but England could be heading for a defeat here if they aren't careful.

    Would be a tad embarrassing!

    I wouldn't be too worried.

    After all, Holland are undeniably the strongest team in the world today. So good, in fact, that nobody will play a test match against them...

    Hopefully in the interval the dutch will have a few dodgy cigs and engage in manlove and be to tired and stoned to come out

    "England have been like a club third XI on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the spectators are laughing - goodness knows what India are making of this."

    That pretty much sums it all up, absolutely disgraceful.

    Cricket tip: If we lose we just put our fingers in our ears and shout Ashes. Our victory in Oz gave us that right

    Yeah that's a big chase. Hoping our batting lineup will be up to it though, quite a few of the lesser nations seem capable of putting on a score, its defending it they seem to have problems with.

    If they keep this run rate up they'll be fine as long as Stauss & KP can get a ton each

    Orange with a blue logo and a blue stripe. Blue trim on the shade bit as well.

    Strauss is looking good so hopefully he will get a big score!

    England were appalling in the field, however I'm fairly confident in what is a very strong batting line-up on a very good batting pitch.
