England left to absorb shocking defeat. Hosts England crash to a four-wicket defeat by the Netherlands in a dramatic opening match in the World Twenty20.
On 5 June 2009, more than a century after the Royal Dutch Cricket Board was founded in 1883, Holland have beaten England at cricket. This historic feat took place at Lord's, the very heart of English cricket.
In the 19th century English expats introduced cricket in Holland.
You Tube highlights of the Dutch innings, part 1 and part 2.
In all honesty it should be mentioned that Holland's Cricket Board scours the traditional cricketing countries South Africa, Australia and New Zealand for cricketers of Dutch descent to include them in the first XI.
