Wow that was a bit "special" even by the standards we have come to expect of England.

I have lost interest in all sports apart from cricket and rugby, yet still it is the same story from England, regardless of the sport. Given an international tournament we are guaranteed to be disappointed.

England are going to get spanked from the greenest Oz team in 30 years.

Only the rain will save it being 5-0

I think you're under-selling the test side there. Twenty20 side are a bit pants, but the test side know how to win at home.

Aussies to retain the Ashes 2-2.

I think we will have to disagre on that, England may get a win by luck but 2 is totally pushing it.

I may be old fashioned, but cricket is a game played over 5 days where the participants wear white. Whatever else this sport is, and however carp we may be at it...it most definitely is not cricket.

Its evolution...init

No one got time to sit under umbrella n watch it in rainy patches.

And game has to compete with the likes of other global sports i.e. footie

I must say, Netherlands played really well today and deserved that.

I cant see the reason why England had put that young Leg spinner Adil Rashid in T20 format. He is a decent prospect and rare legspinner in this country. He should be polished first and should be used in proper one dayers or Tests.

Your England thrashed the pants off Pakistan tonight. They have qualified for the next round.

But none of you are being funny about that, are you.

Pakistan were piss poor.

Scotland however were very unlucky to go out.
