    Like to see the Dutch do it at this stage. Other scenario more likely, they win and Zimbabwe go through...

    too little too late... Joyce's drop when Cooper was on one will cost us our qualification.

    extremely harsh on Joyce, before that drop Holland were after smashing the bowlers all over the place and were on for the win anyway.

    Maybe.. but sport is cruel, you gotta take anything you get when things are going way against you.

    Not when they had lost three quick wickets and Cooper's fourth wicket might have swung the momentum back in our favour. As it was, he was able to keep pushing on. It was the crucial moment in the game and when you factor in his suicidal run out in Ireland's innings...

    Natural to look for scapegoats, but it's very rare that a single mistake is the cause of a loss.

    I'm following on Cricinfo, but it strikes me that it's more about the Dutch playing out of their skins that Ireland doing anything particularly badly.

    The bowling has been fairly awful and even our fielding has been ropey. No question this is all about the brilliance of the Holland batting today, but we did nothing with the ball to help outselves.

    I know its T20 and anything can happen in the short form of the game, surely there'll be a big post mortem on this. Freak result?

    It was the start they had in the PP. Very hard to come back from.

    There'll be a post mortem in the squad, but no over-reactions. It's hugely disappointing, but nothing more.

    I'm glad they did it to qualify, fair play to them for going for it.

    Unfortunate we had an off-day with the ball, but kudos to the Dutch for taking advantage.

    How can Netherlands not have ODI status? Seems so wrong.

    Feel very sorry for the Irish, but what a match. The NL just went out and took the risks - don't thiunk anyone can complain and I'm pleased the NL progress ahead of Zimbabwe given the way they batted today

    Cant even begin to describe this. One of the best results you will ever see from a game of cricket (I thought it would take a lot to top us scoring 328 against England; this is up there). Ridiculous stuff.

    Im very glad that its Holland and not Zimbabwe going through. Anything that raises the profile of associate cricket is good for all of us.

    Because ODIs are a different form of the game, and their results in that form simply haven't been good enough recently.

    And because of the daft rule that associates have to maintain their standards while full members don't, they lose their status.
