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

[James]

first baller for KP?

 

[Abdullah22]

Where did PCB go wrong with Muddasir Bukhari?

We defienetly have better bowlers than him and beside that his action is not smooth to the eye I hate it.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Dude joking aside, that was a pretty awful over.

I second that, PCB has gone quite right but witnessing the first over by Bukhari.

 

[James]

or not, what a great shot!

 

[Markhor]

:4

KP with a good shot

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bit of movement in the air there but spanked by KP.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Boundary for KP!

 

[Sledger]

Boundaries coming easily.

 

[Markhor]

BTW England have not seen the last of ten Doeschate, he can bowl too

 

[Watsupdoc]

England off to a blazing start!

 

[James]

Strauss and Pietersen look angry. Hundred opening stand would be nice.

 

[KingKhanWC]

If they can get their line and length right the ball is chirpping a bit.

 

[Sledger]

BTW England have not seen the last of ten Doeschate, he can bowl too

Well he is player of the year.

 

[James]

If they can get their line and length right

fail.

 

[Markhor]

Nasser highlighting the importance of Pietersen, : If KP bats 50 overs,England win

 

[Khan88]

Just woke up and holy crap at the score , England will have to bat out of their skins to chase this

Haha same...go Netherlands but England are still favorites here imo.

 

[Watsupdoc]

These Powerplays will be make or break.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

17/0 in 2 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Half volley, driven but just one. Pietersen retains stike.

17/0.

 

[Watsupdoc]

5 off that

 

[Markhor]

Some drumming there.

India and the hosts in general have been very smart,allowing musical instruments to really build an atmosphere,learning the mistakes of West Indies 2007.

 

[TNA]

Looks like some certain ppl cant detect sarcasm

it was in reply to this thread:

[KingKhanWC]

Bukhari settled down now.

 

[James]

KP hasn't scored an ODI hundred in like ever. Good chance today.

Good shout, agreed.

 

[Rizie]

come on bhukari

 

[Sledger]

These bowlers suck.

 

[ganeshran]

Ned needs some wickets..

 

[Munna]

they are in an attacking mindset .. playing too many shots already!
they mite lose wickets soon!
go bukhari saaab ....

 

[James]

These bowlers suck.

They do unbelievably bad, not even county standard really.

 

[Sledger]

22/0

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good over. A couple more and the shine will be gone.

 

[Watsupdoc]

England in an attacking mood!!!

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen misses out on a free shot.

 

[TNA]

Can anyone explain why Netherland dropped Nannes?

I mean he is allowed to switch his identity by the ICC. So why did the selectors overlooked him?

 

[Markhor]

292 is the 4th highest ODI total for Netherlands.

 

[ads101]

Holland's to lose IMO.

I'm glad Swann dropped it, it means Anderson finishes wicketless. Disgraceful rubbish from Anderson today.

I wouldn't say that. The stronger sides are expected to score at least 300 against these associate sides usually.

England are still favourites and Netherlands will have to bowl well to win even if England bat average.

 

[Munna]

this attack is lollypop for KP im afraid ..
n when hez on a roll ... theres no denying cricket looks more exciting

 

[KingKhanWC]

Flamingo shot

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

After seeing their bowling, I have started believing that Netherlands should have made 400 to defend it )

 

[Abdullah22]

125 km/h... Indian must be really proud now.

 

[Sledger]

Gets four now. Charging the bowler.

 

[Bullet Drive]

The Netherlands spinners will be doing a lot of work. England have this one in the bag though.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Keeper up good move.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Even 400 would not have been enough

 

[UP]

Cricinfo is not opening - can someone please post the score.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Hmm, Will Peitersen be able to break Afridi's record of fasted century. .

I can see it in this match.

 

[Abdullah22]

120km/h now, this is really embarrassing now. The beast can spin faster than that.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Cricinfo is not opening - can someone please post the score.

Netherlands 292/6 (50 ov)

England 28/0 (3.5 ov)

England require another 265 runs with 10 wickets and 46.1 overs remaining

 

[Munna]

good comments by shastri n hussain about promotion up the order .. something that pakistan cud have used 5 yrs ago

 

[Sledger]

Four more. Terrible bowling. )

 

[KingKhanWC]

KP making use of the field and new ball.

32-0 4 overs

 

[malakian]

It was an awful bowling performance. Tremlett in for Jimmy if he doesn't buck his ideas up.

 

[Watsupdoc]

England Run rate = 8.00

Pietersen to get out in 2 overs!

 

[Markhor]

Truth be told,this bowling performance is not particular good.Bit of a let down but unfortunately predictable.

 

[Markhor]

Whats does that sign say ?

''We want 'palti' hit'' ?

Palti or plenty ?

 

[Abdullah22]

Bukhari bowling at 120s too is he really a Pakistani?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

England Run rate = 8.00

Pietersen to get out in 2 overs!

You must be playing fantasy cricket

 

[Abdullah22]

Whats does that sign say ?



Palti or plenty ?

They are asking for the sweep shot.

 

[Rizie]

Bukhari bowling at 120s too is he really a Pakistani?

Yes imo fastest in holland

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Whats does that sign say ?



Palti or plenty ?

palti is more of a hindi slang word for flipping

 

[ads101]

can't do that unless someone gets "injured".

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is good captaincy keeper up stops KP in his tracks.

 

[MIG]

first baller for KP?

You obviously live in hope ( and glory )

Guys - open up the chat in popout mode and watch score updates and chitchat in both windows!

 

[Watsupdoc]

You must be playing fantasy cricket

How did you know?

 

[MIG]

Holland have done well with that score but defending it is another problem

 

[Markhor]

Oh right thanks The famous 'Switch-hit'

 

[Sledger]

4 more.

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[KingKhanWC]

38-0 after 6 . Not running away it.

 

[Sledger]

38/0, England doing this easily.

 

[James]

KP is playing splendidly. Good chance to make a statement today.

 

[ads101]

Netherlands doing well to slowly pull the England run rate back down. Don't look particularly threatening though or taking a wicket any time soon.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

How did you know?

It was a guess

 

[Watsupdoc]

Eng run rate 6.33

Strauss to get out in the 8th over!

 

[Watsupdoc]

It was a guess

who's gonna win this game? since you are that good at guessing

 

[Munna]

eng has a great batting line up ... even the no. 11 is gud enuff

 

[James]

The boundaries are coming regularly, and they are rotating the strike very nicely, particularly considering they are a brand new partnership. I've enjoyed it.
