Hurray for Holland!
The Mighty has been felled!
And with that the Dutch team, having won their first match in the 2009 T20 World Cup, has signaled that they need to be taken more seriously in this ridiculously short format of the gentleman’s game.
What a contrast the two competing sides made. One displayed an array of shambolic performances on field while the other egged on by surprise, cheer and self-belief held their nerves to scamper through for the victory.
One a team of highly paid, overrated professionals while the other a team of part-timers, taking time-off from the respective 9-5 jobs to participate in this event.
In the unlikely scenario of Holland proceeding to the next level, it will further drain the pockets of this team of enthusiasts. I sincerely hope that this triumph of theirs attract more sponsors to Dutch Cricket.
Hurray once again!
