Some interesting tweets on my TL after the amazing Dutch win. @coolfunnytshirt believes England and Australia should get more time to acclimatize to conditions. England and Australia should stay back in Bangladesh to play the Bangladesh Premier League. #WT20 @knittins wonders who England will now blame for this defeat? The sad part for England is they now dont have KP to blame this on. @chetannarula and many others think this isnt exactly an upset. The day Netherlands beat Ireland and qualified, almost everyone thought the same thing: Will England be able to beat them??! #wt20 @Saj_PakPassion There have been some shock results at the World t20 but not on this occasion as Netherlands defeat England by 45 runs #wt20 #EngvNed @knittins shares similar pleasures as the kind I have with Englands losses these days. The pleasure of seeing the Poms losing these days >>> the pleasure of seeing Australia losing in the 2000s. @swildecricket brings some stats. Leading nations who have lost to Associates in ODI/T20 matches: England 3 (to Holland 2, Ireland 1), India 2 Windies 2 Pakistan1 Sri Lanka1 @the_topspin gives some English view on their performance. Brilliant from the Dutch. Utter garbage from England Finally, @BoredCricket adds some history too. :) Australia 86 vs India yesterday, England 88 vs Netherlands today. Hell, this #wt20 sure has brought the British Empire to its knees.
