England vs Netherlands | WC'11 | Group B | Nagpur | 22/02/11

[ads101]

Remarkable how Bell has only scored in singles so far.

 

[Watsupdoc]

too easy for trott

 

[Amjid Javed]

71 needed from 60.

Pretty much PP will decide the game i recon.

Dutch need to keep things tight! they should be proud of their effort so far!

 

[Watsupdoc]

71 in last 10 overs. Easy peasy

 

[MC]

Come on England.

Go bonkers now!!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Its already decided AJ ...dutch to loose...

 

[ads101]

What a strange field.

 

[Taurus]

Taurus, Broad is a good ODI player as well. Trott, KP, Morgan, Broad and Swann is a genuine backbone for a one-day side. Who would you have chosen? Owais Shah is probably closer to the side after England's rubbish season in ODIs. I'm glad that Bopara has been brought back, very talented.

I'd have picked Samit Patel, for a start, fat or not. A spin-bowling all-rounder, on the sub-continent, it's a pretty easy choice. Steve Davies should have gone - as a specialist batsman, if necessary. He averages mid-30s opening the batting in domestic one-day games. Who else does? (not a lot of players is the answer - Alex Hales is the only other one I can find, although I expect Trescothick does, but he can't really be counted)

 

[Sledger]

Equation is a very easy one. Not sure why people are getting tense over a 7req rate with a PP left.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Its already decided AJ ...dutch to loose...

Hope your wrong!

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Trott

 

[James]

stumped off a wide, very nice wicketkeeping. don't see that often.

 

[Sledger]

Actually they've now taken the PP. :trott

 

[KSaeed]

Trotts gone

 

[KingKhanWC]

Great stumping!

One more quickly and game on.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Common Bell....

show some of those beautiful drives ...

 

[ads101]

Trott out

 

[Strike!]

 

[Express Pace]

STUMPED off a wide TROTT gone!

 

[Sledger]

Trott gone lol. Fair play, send someone in who can make use of the field.

 

[ZenBowman]

Dho daala

 

[NJamal]

It is getting interesting

 

[mastermind_quad]

Trott ...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Trott gone! Yesssss!

Come You Cloggers!

 

[Bullet Drive]

out

 

[cricfan967]

Out !!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Hope your wrong!

Trott gone ...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Trott gone.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

TROTT..

 

[KSaeed]

Wide delivery and Trott goes after but misses and is out off a masterful stumping

 

[ads101]

Might be a blessing in disguise. Trott isn't generally the man you want to exploit powerplay. Bell's quite good at it though.

 

[NJamal]

Colly comes to bat

 

[Sledger]

I still think England will have to be bowled out to lose.

Even if the RR goes up, you don't expect minnows saving <15 runs in the last over against a good batting team.

 

[ads101]

Should have sent Bopara instead of collingwood.

 

[mastermind_quad]

bopara will come

 

[Munna]

a blessing in disguise for england in the form of that stump .... collingwood shud play aggressively n provide sum entertainment .. though i wud prefer ned to provide sum end of the day excitement :d

 

[Watsupdoc]

Must be a hell of a stumping!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on u dutch stars, beat the english sandwiches !

 

[Sledger]

Just saw the replay, what a brilliant stumping that was.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Stunning glove work! Akmal take note!

 

[James]

What they have done with Davies is very strange, but I have high hopes for Prior at 7 on flat pitches...though I am a bit of a Prior fanboy

Maybe we have not heard the last of Owais Shah. Bell is an overrated ODI player.

They are trying to make an example of Patel, I reckon they really want him in the team though. He would slot into the ODI side perfectly, and with Collingwood's retirement and the constant search for an all-rounder, maybe even the test side one day.

To have Wright and Tredwell in the XV and Tremlett as a reserve shows you how bad the squad really is.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Trott gone! Yesssss!

Come You Cloggers!

You sure need to post a lot more Mr newcomer, enjoy your stay here.

 

[Sledger]

:kami would have been proud.

 

[mastermind_quad]

OMG ..they send colly instead of Bopara ...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Now if we can get Bell out as well! then its game on!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Whatever the result the Dutch should be very proud of this performance.

Collingwood to eat up some dot balls.

 

[Amjid Javed]

You sure need to post a lot more Mr newcomer, enjoy your stay here.

) thanks!

 

[Sledger]

7 an over yes, but only 67 runs needed.

 

[jusarrived]

I still think England will have to be bowled out to lose.

yup , they have to bowl eng out .

 

[NJamal]

229/3 after 41 overs

 

[Sledger]

Mis field, extra run. 229/3.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Misfield..gives an extra run..

 

[mastermind_quad]

64 of 54 ....should be easy

 

[Watsupdoc]

Eng still in control. Master Bopara still out there.

 

[lipton]

Collingwood is out of form.

 

[Vegitto1]

Stunning glove work! Akmal take note!

Can't, he dropped the pen!

 

[Sledger]

64(54) is a standard T20 equation. England just need to play normally and not panic.

 

[Express Pace]

Couple of wickets now and Netherlands are well in!

 

[Sledger]

Brilliant yorker!

 

[Bullet Drive]

England not quite got control of this game yet, Netherlands just need a couple of good overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Have to say both teams fielding has been horrid. England's a bit more though.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Bukhari bowls a DOT ball.

 

[James]

64 off 53 should be like taking a morning whizz for these players.

 

[Amjid Javed]

64 need off 54.

Another tight 2/3 overs needed.

 

[KSaeed]

This is still Englands game by a fair distance

 

[mastermind_quad]

Bell is the key here ....

 

[Sledger]

Easy two.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can't, he dropped the pen!

)

 

[mastermind_quad]

double

 

[James]

Great running! You can tell that England do not rate the Netherlands fielding.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

They are just giving extra runs..in the outfield..

 

[Watsupdoc]

England not quite got control of this game yet, Netherlands just need a couple of good overs.

meh i would say its the opposite.

 

[ads101]

I'd have picked Samit Patel, for a start, fat or not. A spin-bowling all-rounder, on the sub-continent, it's a pretty easy choice.

(not a lot of players is the answer - Alex Hales is the only other one I can find, although I expect Trescothick does, but he can't really be counted)

I agree I would have had Davies for Prior.

Never seen samit play, so I don't know. Bit of a strange reason why he's left out of the side. But I guess England's emphasis on fitness is one of the reasons why their fielding and discipline is so good (not today obviously but on most days).

 

[Sledger]

Very well timed but straight to the fielder. dot.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

DOT ball again...

 

[ads101]

Can't, he dropped the pen!

)

 

[Sledger]

Collingwood's form still looks crap atm. This bowler is such a dibbly dobbly type.

 

[Bullet Drive]

England WIN!

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Bukhari..as Ravi is saying is bowling leg side deliveries.

 

[James]

Shotttttt.
