Small analysis of Netherland Vs England

England needs to do some soul seraching. They need big hitters, some one who can clear the rope with ease. Bopara can do that, Shah possibly yes, Collingwood yes but what about the rest? England with their pathetic field placement and below par fielding gave away this match. England needs to find some answers soon or else resurrecting the pride (inventors of the game) will remain the elusive dream always. They invented the game and others honed it. What a pity. It was the type of start the event desperately needed on a cold, grey, damp day which forced the opening ceremony to be cancelled. It didn't seem the most astute scheduling to open with a game involving a minnow, but now the tournament is alive.

Good to see that the minnows stunned the Goliaths. This what cricket is all about.

Some great moments:
