    So I have made a CD

    And you can hear it in full at http://pandemonicorchestra,nl or three songs at http://myspace.com/pandemonicorchestra. If you're into rock and metal music, I'd be interested to hear what you think. All the work (playing, recording, producing) was done by me and I am acually quite proud of it...

    Netherlands vs. Bermuda ODI

    I don't think there's already a thread for this. Two games at the VRA ground in Amstelveen. First ODI yesterday washed out. Just got back from the second game which is in progress but badly affected by the weather. Dutch summers, fantastic :@ Bermuda 102/4 after 30.2, and will play 9.4 more...

    OK then, a Dutch thread

    The stated aim of the Dutch governement and sports administrators is to be one of the ten leading sports countries in the world. Which is ambitious for such a small country, to say the least. My prediction is they will fall short this time, but should still come 12th-13th in the medals table...

    Giles retires

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/england/6938329.stm Apparently the end of the road for the Ashes-winning Wheelie-bin Never one of the highest rated cricketers in the world, but a vital cog in the Fletcher-era England team. A dependable #8 batsman, useful bowler...and showing character...

    Tournament XI

    For me: Chris Gayle (joint man of the tournament) Stephen Fleming (second best opener; instrumental in NZ's progress) Ricky Ponting (not for batting, but great captaincy and excellent fielding) Damien Martyn (I did say joint man of the tournament, didn't I?) Andrew Symonds (electric fielding...

    That Rashid bloke...

    I mean Adil Rashid, the 18-year old Yorkshire kid who's apparently the new big English spinner... He's currently playing for England U19 against India U19. Having made 114 in the first innings, he's now taken 42-7-142-7 in India's first innings (India 338/9 so chance of an 8th wicket, but he's...

    Jones dropped for Read

    Chris Read will keep wicket for England in the Third test against Pakistan later this week. Apparently Geraint Jones was not overlooked due to his fractured finger, but dropped because of a lack of runs. Ironically, that's the exact same reason why Read was dropped for Jones in the Windies two...

    England's preoccupation with the Ashes is harmful to Test cricket

    After reading Paul Collingwood's current column on the BBC website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/england/5165716.stm, you lazy gits), it again struck me how dominant the Ashes are in English cricket. Collingwood's column is another excellent example of an England cricketer making all...

    Why Brazil will not win the WC

    So I was watching the Champions League final this week, and I realized that while Ronaldinho is definitely an awesome player he is also a liability. He was clearly hell-bent on being the star of the show and as a result Barcelona's pace was slowed down considerably and their play was...

    The future's orange!

    Just thought I'd point your attention to some very good results achieved by The Netherlands last week, including this from Nairobi on Sunday: Kenya 166ao The Netherlands 266/7 (De Leede 123, De Grooth 81, Van Bunge 4/18) The Netherlands beat Kenya by 100 runs. If I'm correct, this should count...

    The knee-jerk thread on the damp squib that is powerplay

    Well, this is about the worst possible start for the new fielding restrictions rule. Both England and Australia use up their 20 overs of restrictions in the first 20 overs. There goes unpredictability and changing the course ot the innings. I sincerely hope that this will not become the trend...
