Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[Leicester Fox]

If Trott played we would have won.

Trott would have scored more than the entire team.

Trott would be able to hit the stumps from 2 yards.

Trott would be able to bowl straight.

Because like any professional sportsman he wanted to win. If he didn't throw the ball, I'd want him out of the team and never back in it.

Behave you mong, he knew the situation, he knew what was at stake and he knew what needed to be done. Instead he went for the glory but missed by about 2 miles.

 

[Skater]

Said it before, and will say it again. Must suck to be an England fan.

It does, we play really well for a couple of months and then lose disgracefully when it mattered. I don't suppose if I watch the highlights Broad WON'T throw the ball.

 

[Gurjot95]

Stupid Broad misses all the chances on all the balls in final over. Especially final ball "If you can't hit then dont throw" and happy with tie.

The funny thing is not many people in the Netherlands will even realise that their team has won against England. Even better: they wouldn't actually care.

Oh no, cos they thought there were playing Australia!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Not really, we have the best fans in the world.

I'd say the WI fans are the best in the world, but you have a point. Still, the heartbreak must be awful.

Except that he did not throw it like a professional sportsman.

 

[Leicester Fox]

3 stumps from a yard. Broad is a joke.

 

[evertonfan]

Why stupid? If he hit we won. Should he have not of thrown the ball? "Oh yes boys, let's settle for a tie."

Wouldn't have been a tie though would it? The golden over thingy is in place now.

England would have killed in the Superover. You had Bopara, Wright and anyone else with the bat, and Anderson with the ball. Netherlands would have had Nannes bowling, and their batting wouldn't matter too much as they failed to chase 6 in a Superover against Ireland!

Although then again, Trent Johnston isn't English...

 

[King Pietersen]

Blame Broad if you want, but the fact we lost wasn't because of Broad alone. Collingwood is the bloke that should be copping most of the stick, not Broad. He had an awful game.

 

[gudduthemaster]

Can we talk about the million misfields then?

Zorax where is that OMG!!!.... word in your post??
BTw back on topic,
2500 misfield by England,and broad personally missed 2000

Lol the West Indies don't even turn up to their home games.

But tbh Zorax we are used to heartbreak. And besides this isn't even heartbreak it's just disapointment. 5-0 against Australia is heartbreak.

Who dropped a catch and missed 3 tweaking run out chances in a single over? Not Collingwood by my last count. Yeah Colly is to be blamed for picking the worst International T20 bowler in the team.

 

[Sureshot]

Wouldn't have been a tie though would it? The golden over thingy is in place now.

Still think it requires a negative mindset to have played for that, sends out a really bad message and no professional sportsman would not throw it. Especially cricketers how are very proud of winning.
