What gets me is that the police now confirm strangulation. How the hell did it take so many days to come up with that, the killer has had too much time to hide his tracks. This has been incompetantly handled. :(

I know i could look this up googling for it, but were the Dutch completely helpless against the Aussies, or did they at least put up a fight ?
</font>[/QUOTE]They were completely incompetent and were smashed. In football terms it was like losing 10-0 to Brazil.

Still strange that a team that represents our country on a worldstage doesn't, or hardly gets any recognition. My info regarding the game against the Scots comes directly from the BBC, no program on Dutch television thought it was worth mentioning apparently, friggin shame.

I thought Nederlanders' win was more impressive given that they haven't imported any West Indians, Indians, Pakistanis, Australians or Poms in their side.

So who are the big favourites for the crown ? Australia ? South Africa perhaps ? Or is this a game where being the best is no garantee at all, kinda like in football ? Fill me in guys, i'm willing to learn. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Being the best in cricket generally increases your chances at victory, bit like basketball. Upsets are rare (which is why the Ireland v Pak match is being celebrated). The favourites are the OZ and the Saffas. |
