England's lamentable winter lurched to a new low as they bowed out of the World Twenty20 with a shambolic 45-run defeat to lowly Holland.
It was a repeat of the 2009 embarrassment at Lord's but this was arguably an even more abject display against a side blown away for 39 by Sri Lanka but gradually building to this unlikely act of giant-killing ever since.
England were far from flawless in the field, guilty of at least two clear drops and one botched run-out by Jos Buttler, but their batting was littered with errors and complacency.
Chasing Holland's mark of 133 for five victory, Stuart Broad's side - who had won the toss and opted to chase - mustered a risible 88 all out, just eight more than their worst-ever score in the format.
