    Don't worry. England will peak when it matters. Not during the Aussie series, and not for another game or two.

      The Netherlands are not bad at cricket at all. They have a few professionals who could possibly play for England, like ten Doeschate and Zuiderent. The top level of Dutch cricket is fairly comparable to English city league cricket; it's just that they don't have a lot of players, but they do make the best of the available talent, especially in one day cricket.

      If only the Dutch Rugby Union would take some lessons from the cricket union. To paraphrase Will Carling, the national rugby team won't go far while the show's being run by '7 old farts in blazers'.

        Won it by 6 wickets.

        Worrying that in all the other games so far, the more fancied team has won quite convincingly whereas England make it more interesting

        Hopefully this is the bad performance out of the system

          I wish I could appreciate the one day game, no idea why I don't enjoy it, but I really don't care for it no matter who's playing who.

          Silly really as I used to really enjoy playing one day matches

            My kids get very excited about the one day game, but I'll take an ashes win and a world cup thrashing every time.

            One of these years I will take the time out to watch an entire test series. The West Indies would be my first choice {beach bum smillie}.

              Frankly, as far as I care England can lose every single one day or 20/20 game they play, even if it's against Liechtenstein Sunday Veterans 5th team, as long as they win test matches and most of all beat Australia in the Ashes.

                  I wouldn't judge anyone on that. I played cricket against Scotland once when they played a practice match against Leicester Poly before playing against Leicestershire. We lost.

                    It's not worrying at all. Why play your best cricket at the start of the tournament?

                    Many competition winners in the past started off slowly and played themselves into a tournament, peaking at the right time. Pakistan 1992 was a classic example. As was England when we won the world 20-20 championship last year.
