On a separate note, I've seen Indians have taken the defeat well on social media. My favourite comment has to be threatening to nuke the world: :lolol:

Regardless of the outcome, it's a bit of a joke how India have been allowed to switch the pitch for this.

It's a good score and one that I don't think NL will be able to chase.

178-5. England are making a right mess of this. Absolutely crazy to see the difference from the series in The Netherlands in June last year. Michael Vaughan wrote this just half an hour ago. :facepalm:

It's a shame that Fred Klaasen isn't involved in the Dutch squad for this world cup. We could have had some Sussex-born representation! (Haywards Heath born with a Dutch grandfather). He missed out due to injury.

Crazy run from Malan there. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the English changing room. I bet his equipment is flying round right now...

This got lost during Maxwell's phenomenal innings yesterday but if anyone is in Amsterdam already and wants to watch the game, you can find it here: It's being streamed by the Dutch equivalent of the BBC. https://nos.nl/livestream/2496535-wk-cricket-nederland-engeland

Anyone already in Amsterdam/NL and wants to watch the England NL game tomorrow, it'll be free to stream on https://nos.nl/sport. Sky Sports will region lock you and it is with Dutch commentary, but it's better than nothing.

Absolute joke. Especially from experienced batsman too.

NL get their second win and leave England... last. Absolutely shocking from England and I'm not even sure they'll beat NL at this rate.

Fair enough. An outdated but still fairly applicable reputation then. (y)

No surprise. Eindhoven is known for having players that study at TU Eindhoven or work at Phillips.

In fairness you're more in the South are you not? Cricket is definitely bigger in the Randstad and in the posh areas. (think Bloemendaal, Hilversum, Wassenaar especially). I did see it in de Telegraaf though! But yeah as you can see from the clubzoeker, it's very much concentrated there...

Front page of all the news sites. Was third on the equivalent of BBC news today after Israel and Brussels.

For those who thought associate nations were pointless, I hope this has changed your mind.

I know there's some criticism of the smaller nations being involved, but it is an absolute joke there are only 10 teams in this 'world cup.' The ICC have proper messed it up.

It's about 15 minutes from The Hague if that makes it any clearer to you. Makes sense with the overseas players as most teams in the top 2 divisions now get 2/3 players in, including us. Although the Dutch government has just changed the rules about it so it's becoming increasingly harder...

Aaaah that would make a lot more sense. These days only Groen-Geel are about in Wassenaar and they only play Zami/Zomi cricket. We go there every year for a 2 day match actually which is always good fun.

Do you know where they're from? Sounds like they may have folded sadly as I don't recognise the name (even saying it out loud) unless you mean Qui Vive maybe? (Based in Amsterdam).

You aren't wrong about it not being mainstream and yes it is absolutely an elitist sport here. However, the KNCB and clubs are doing good work to get the new generation interested. There are lot of Indian kids who are bringing a new element to cricket in the country, Singh being one such player...
