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

[Markhor]

We need more minnows !! )

 

[Bullet Drive]

11 balls left. try get 20 odd.

 

[ace4rmspace]

To be fair, as much as I would hope they didn't but, England will probably chase down a 300 run total with Netherlands bowling. But it's entertaining stuff, better than the borefests we've had up till now. Well played Tender Skirt!

 

[Robert]

Bloomin' Dutchmen with their South African mercs....

 

[Bullet Drive]

Although this is a superb effort, England will chase it down easily.

 

[Sir john]

bukhari

 

[TNA]

Mudassir Bukhari? A Pakistani Dutch?

 

[Sanchez]

I think it was a wonderful decision by Flower to not play Anderson in the 2010 t20 wc. It would have shattered his confidence and dented his bowling in tests. He loses it when he's under the pump.

 

[Markhor]

Mudassar Bukhari (Muslim ?) at the crease now

 

[Bullet Drive]

wideeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Wide

 

[ace4rmspace]

Bloomin' Dutchmen with their South African imports.....

Hahaha! Thats grand!

 

[the Great Khan]

Shehzad should have played today..pace and reverse would have done the dutch in..!!

 

[ganeshran]

Ten Doaschate should be named Hundred Doaschate

 

[James]

Although this is a superb effort, England will chase it down easily.

don't be so sure! England batsmen could conspire to lose this one because of their own mistakes.

 

[Sir john]

 

[Theo_14]

Wide ball - I wonder how many extras have England bowlers given?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hmm this total still not enough in my view.

 

[Bullet Drive]

fourrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[ganeshran]

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

The Slash is top edged for four

 

[Vegitto1]

FOUR FOUR and FOUR!!!! Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 15 runs from that Jimmy Anderson over!!! They are pulling a Sehwag!

Seriously, can you brown your nose somewhere else.

they are not doing a sehwag, they are doing what attacking batsmen do. Furthermore, they are doing it against the English attack and not a bangladesh attack.

 

[Theo_14]

Broad put's a 'fake smile' on his face after he watches the ball go for a boundary!

 

[jeetu]

NED , 279/6 - 10 balls left.

 

[ganeshran]

Borren

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

[Bullet Drive]

don't be so sure! England batsmen could conspire to lose this one because of their own mistakes.

Noo Noo. England have got this one. Its a good batting pitch. Poor Dutch bowlers and the dew factor

[Markhor]

Mudassir Bukhari? A Pakistani Dutch?

Yes according to Wikipedia,Bukhari was born in Gujrat, Punjab !

 

[dhump]

WOOO I was away and Netherlands smashed in the meantime.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Gone

Bowled by a good yorker

 

[James]

Shehzad should have played today..pace and reverse would have done the dutch in..!!

he could be brought in for Anderson against India after this.

can't believe Tremlett is the reserve and we have Wright and Tredwell in the full squad

Good wicket from Broad.

Bootha ripping into England

 

[Theo_14]

Good comeback from Broad - 2 yorkers and 2 wickets, need more of that from him and England bowlers!

[NeVerMind]

Nan Nah Nah Nah Broad!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

very fair post except from what you said about Swann. this is a batting beauty, he really is that good. 3.5 economy rate is outstanding.

with all due respect to English bowling attack, I have already mentioned in my post that they are one Quality bowling attack but unfortunately how much they are much away to produce Flintoffs and Goughs on sub-continent pitches, Swann is a sigh of relief after number of several years to take away England's spin worry. Hes a great bowler in fact but provided when he's more than 100% fit not just by his body and health but mentally too.

He is a great bowler how knows to contain, no doubt in that but i am talking about being a real threat to get the wickets and attack the opposition, What if I being an opponent to English line up, I contain myself on Swann and lets suppose get 37 runs runs in 10 overs on a eco avg of 3.75, but whats the point rest of the bowlers got the whack and they covered up for Swann's contained bowling, He needs to be more aggressive and fill up wickets column rather than improving up on eco!

 

[MC]

Broad has improved a lot. He lacks natural talent but his effort and attitude makes up for it.

 

[Hando]

England really having a bad day

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs

 

[ganeshran]

Amateurish mistakes from England. Come on you can do better than that.

 

[hur rizvi]

NED get to 300 plz ....

 

[Markhor]

Oh Botham's having a hissy fit in the commentary box )

 

[Watsupdoc]

what a mistake by England!

 

[TNA]

Borren what prescence of mind.

 

[Munna]

hahahahaha ...
this is great from eng!! the oldest cricket nation are making stupid mistakes on field

 

[Borg]

Funny

 

[Phuzz]

England will lose this now. TRust me.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Well Dug Out

 

[Theo_14]

Broad takes a wicket - but it's a no ball - he reacts by kicking the pitch -

Whippy, your views?

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Phuzz]

Broad takes a wicket - but it's a no ball - he reacts by kicking the floor -
