T20 cricket world cup opening day drama: Netherlands ends English dreams?

So the T20 world cup has kicked off - and what a start. Who'd have imagined that the Netherlands would beat England. Continues to raise the question of skill vs luck in the shorter format of the game but I'd argue that its still skill - just a different type of skill. The room for error is low , individual performances can seal the day and it gives every team a chance.

The scary thought then is - what about Bangladesh and Ireland? The same teams that were in the Caribbean world cup with us ?? Fingers crossed.

Prediction: Too early to call but Misbah and Younus might just pack off the English team to play football instead (and the Dutch may not mind playing them there either)
