The European Qualifiers have come to an end and so has our time in the Netherlands. We has a brilliant final day with Ireland and the Netherlands progressing to the Global Qualifier in Nepal. It's been brilliant to see all four teams over the past week and see the development of each side. We'll be back with our usually weekly podcasts next week one the Hundred has wrapped up and the One Day Cup has started again.

It was a day off yesterday but we are back today having seen Germany v Italy and Ireland v The Netherlands. Arlene Kelly took a 5-fer and Gaby Lewis & Orla Prendergast put on a good partnership.The Netherlands are still yet to qualify after losing to Ireland but mathematically Italy are not totally out of it. We will be back tomorrow for the final day.

Our second day in Rotterdam and we saw Germany take on Ireland and Italy face the Netherlands, with Ireland securing a place at the global qualifier with two games to spare. Another great day of cricket plus a chance to explore Rotterdam.Tomorrow is a rest day so there won't be cricket to speak about but we'll be back on Tuesday night to discuss an interesting two games were Italy play Germany and Ireland play the Netherlands.

We've had our first day at the World Cup European Qualifiers in Rotterdam seeing Ireland beat Italy and the Netherlands thrash Germany.There's lots to speak about and four very different teams to assess. We are here until the end of the tournament so anything you'd like us to discuss (or players you want us to get on the podcast, do let us know!)
