Similar for me, I always follow the Dutch Cricket team but, when they play England it's the land of my birth first. I played over here and coached as well. I played for VRA and coached Qui Vive. They were in the 5th tier when I started coaching them. Won levels 5, 4 and 3 in successive seasons. Their season in Level 2 saw them drop me for a player in the Dutch National Team. They got relegated back to level 3. They asked me to coach again. I declined.

We may as well get the next plane home. Too many yorkies in the team

England have Sri Lanka on the rack setting them 157 to win!!

75 for 2 from 14 overs. Required run rate is 2 an over.... oh, how the mighty have fallen.

156 a.o. v 160 for 2. The 2 innings required a total of 59 overs, 33.2 and 25.4. Very easy victory for Sri Lanka, Very embarrassing for England.

Well, that was **** wasn't it?!

Just embarrassing. Can’t understand it. Less than two months ago we were thrashing NZ - albeit in English conditions - but this WC performance has seen them looking totally devoid of confidence. Remarkable collapse in fortune.

Curious isn't it - we go into the cricket world cup as one of the favourites and underperform dismally. Simultaneously we go into a rugby world cup as serious underdogs year yet outperform expectations.

But still don't win owt

Blimey...Aussies are back in contention. Set NZ the small matter of 389 to win! England...watch and learn. Maybe, but only maybe, we could finish as Champions of Europe. :blue:

Stop raising my hopes rA, the excitement 'Champions of Europe'!
Oh, you mean the England 'Cricket' Team, I thought you'd had a vision of the Rams future🙏🤞😎

Even 229 looks a tall order
