Every modern day youngster knows what it means to “Go Dutch” – splitting the bill at a restaurant. England could have gone Dutch by splitting the match against the Dutchmen on the last ball of their ICC T20 World Cup match last night. A Super Over finish may have ended up in England’s favour.
Stuart Broad tried to save the single by throwing the ball at the non-strikers end while supine on the ground, missed by a mile and ended up giving away an overthrow that landed the match in Netherland’s lap.
What an upset! England could never have dreamt that they would have lost a match in which Ravi Bopara and Luke Wright gave them a flying start at the home of cricket, Lords in the opening encounter of the Cup. Wright’s 71 off just 49 balls appeared to be a match-winning knock, but the team from Holland had other ideas. Imaginative batting TN de Grooth and PW Borren took them close to their target and ten Doescahtte sealed the win off the last ball.
England looked shell shocked after the match and they ought to be! They bowled a lot of rubbish and paid the price for some glaring fielding errors as well.
