KP is playing splendidly. Good chance to make a statement today.
Something tells me Pietersen will knick one to a fielder today. I think Strauss will make a big score though.
 
Cricinfo is disgusted by England's Bowling

That's why they have posted this for the second time :)))
England have taken the molehill out of their mountainous target. But still a long way to go
 
The Dutchmen should have tried to get our dressing room stoned during the interval :asif
 
Good comeback from England,was imperative that they got off to a strong start.
 
England are batting well but I have to say these Dutch bowlers are just running in and delivering net throw downs. :)))
 
Westdijk to Pietersen, FOUR, woomph. That was travelling. A catchable height as Westdijk thought for a split-second about sticking out his left hand, but valued his digits more than a wicket

:))
 
Run rate is exactly right. Need to keep this up, don't get slack.
 
Opening partnership is somewhat similar to Sehwag/Gambhir.
 
oooh England now behind the required run rate.

Game on :D
 
To be fair I don't like Pietersen opening. Won't work against Strong teams. Out there he's always looking for the boundary, not for the singles. This start seems aggressive, but pietersen's strike rate is just low 70s.

I don't think it really suits him. T20 this could work, but I don't think this is the right tatic for ODIs.
 
30 in 42 is fire?

:20:
Strauss is the real man on fire lol, he just doesn't look it.

Too much blocking from pietersen, needs to look for singles and rotate strike. He isn't doing that so well. He is hitting some lovely boundaries though.
 
RR is dropping - I fear a KP explosion to fix the situation !
 
Netherlands need to get KP. He's been given too much of the same thing. As Nasser Hussain said, if he bats through, England will win this.

Req. RR is nearly 6 now and Ten Doeschate hasn't even started bowling :108:
 
Holland doing the right thing bowling strightlines...... But I hope Holland gets a wicket.. need to keep the run rate down..
 
Sanjay - "Good chance for Kenya to get some confidence back, you never know with Pakistan"
 
"If Kenya want to hope for an upset, Pakistan is the team that can give them that"
 
manjrekar giving advice to watch tomorrow's match ... his tagline : u never know with pakistan
 
Not such a great atmosphere in this game.. or maybe they're supporting the minnows?
