To be fair it's probably really easy for the Dutch to practice cricket because it's very flat in their country, so plenty of space for cricket pitches.

Anyone watching the Pakistan V England match?

As always Pakistan fielding is never up to scratch. England is doing pretty well after 5 overs: 53-1. Starting to smash the ball all over.

Also must say Cricket is an advertisers heaven. Adverts after every over and sometimes in between too!

How come South Africa always cop it in the semis? Some of it is due to pure bad luck, but other times I think they have got a mental barrier to overcome.

So Pakistan are in the finals. Again. Surprising.

Don't really care about that, but they always bottle it in the semis.

Right now, the windies are having a howler of an innings. 1-3. Yes, 1 run, three wickets down. The weather must be playing a part...

elaborate please?

I am sure the tons of aid going in is pretty important way of helping.

Besides watching a country slowly commit suicide is not as fun or enjoyable as watching a match of cricket. Not that I have seen any complete ones...

Some green-and-white hatted people in hired cars driving up and down edgeware road with loud music.

thought about shouting 'where were the flags when the swat valley crisis kicked off?' then decided against it.

I hear that people in Pakistan are celebrating too. For once they actually have *something* that can be considered positive, no matter how small it is in the bigger picture or how fleeting. For that, I think it is a good thing.

Like when Iraq won the Asia Cup (football).

Nothing to be proud of, shouldn't flaunt nationalism at the best of times, but when people are dying it's more crass than usual.

If it brings the yokels some happiness, so be it. Don't see the harm.

People are always dying. There are a billion people starving in the world too. But that does not mean everyone should walk around al miserable. If something makes you happy, even for a fleeting moment, we should be grateful for it, not push it aside as something unwanted.

If on the other hand people want to be miserable, there is generally more than enough misery going around and I hear it generally loves company. Something for everybody.

And in the women's tournament, England won.

The celebration reminds me of one of the asian channels broadcasting a wedding from a refugee camp. There had been a date set before the crisis, and the families were stubborn on their words. They had next to nothing, but there was still celebration of the wedding and it cheered up other neighbouring camp dwellers too. Allegedly - I did not actually watch it but was told about it.
