India vs Holland | Group B | WC' 11 | Delhi | 09/03/11

[sazz]

The match begins in one hour.

Should be an easy match for India.

India should try Ashwin and Nehra in this match.

 

[sazz]

Mods, please change Delgu as Delhi. Thanks.

 

[Fireworks11]

This should be the game India experiment before the big game against SA.

Expecting another clattering carnage if India bat first.

 

[dani2k]

Easy match? No such terms in WCs mate. Better take all opposition seriously rather than regret later. We already have had one lesson in the past and a wake up call last match. So go all guns blazing India!

 

[Anwar]

Can Tendo pull off a shock defeat? dont think so but would be nice if he made runs!

 

[shokz1408]

This is something that could heal the pain of the loss yesterday, Lets go Netherlands!

 

[Fireworks11]

Netherlands win the toss and bat first in Delhi.

 

[james_bond]

Wish both the team all the best, india needs to look afteer its bowling before knock out games starts... batting is just too goood. Netherland quite compeitive but still long way to go for them.

 

[praveen]

Dhoni at the toss

"We would have wanted to bat first, since this pitch will slow down as we go. We wanted to bring Nehra in, so Munaf is being left out. Piyush Chawla stays. Compared to Ashwin, Chawla needs more practice so we decided to play him today. Ashwin is mentally stronger, and it doesn't matter against whom he comes in, he will do well."

 

[Fireworks11]

6/0 after 1.0 overs.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

43/0 in 11 overs...a solid start by THE NETHERLANDS

 

[Fireworks11]

An absolutely dead wicket in Delhi, getting baked under the scorching sunshine.

 

[thecricket]

kidnap thse opners, we need em

 

[Bhaijaan]

I'm with holland for the first half. The more they make,the better coz indian batting is the thing to watch. Wil be happy if we contain them to 280

 

[sazz]

at Indian bowling.

 

[Fireworks11]

Chawla strikes. 56/1 off 15.2 overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

But I would have thought that Holland would be 3 out by now

 

[Watsupdoc]

I'm actually quite surprised at the lack of responses in this thread...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Slow but solid start by the Dutch. India should chase down a total of 200 odd later...

 

[sazz]

I'm actually quite surprised at the lack of responses in this thread...

:kami has made PPers busy.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Re. lack of response: it may be a hangover from yesterday's pain

 

[sazz]

At last a wicket.

 

[Watsupdoc]

:kami has made PPers busy.

That I can see. Thousands of threads to his name (which he doesn't deserve)... :kami

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good Holland good test match going on

 

[Fireworks11]

64/2 off 19 overs. Yuvraj's 100th ODI Wicket.

 

[Digital]

Yuvraj strikes ..well done !

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yuvraj the main strike bowler of India!

 

[Fireworks11]

Dhoni Lol.

Via Cricinfo:

D Shah: "Haaa! Just before the wicket-ball, Dhoni said .."Idhar aaja, yeh badmaash lagg raha hai" (Come here, this guy seems to be a naughty one) LoL.. the stump mic's are awesome!"

 

[sazz]

strikes. Holland 100/4.

 

[thecricket]

what a collapse 101-5

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a collapse!

 

[Animal]

even though it's only holland, good show by India's much-maligned bowlers on a track Gavaskar described as a 'national highway.'

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yuvraj to get another 5fer?

 

[thecricket]

an other goes, run out..

 

[thecricket]

127-7

 

[Badsha]

YV with two wickets.

 

[asad100101]

Minnows will remain minnows no mAtter what they do they simply suck.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Borren what a legend!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Run out...

 

[sazz]

Two consecutive sixes.. Shades of Ross Taylor!

 

[Romali_rotti]

WOW Netherlands doing a NZ here on India...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Borren adding some spice in the game!

 

[sazz]

Another

 

[Watsupdoc]

wow what hitting!

 

[anakwalajinn]

just put on the game to watch some hitting in the BPP

I know Borren & Bukhari are big hitters

 

[Watsupdoc]

I don't get this from Dhoni... why not give Zaheer full 10 overs? Does he wanna chase a 200 plus total and is helping Netherlands?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Indian bowling down right horrible they just have so many short comings from not being good enuff to not being able to finish off the minnows and on and on...

 

[thecricket]

out

 

[anakwalajinn]

what's up with NRP's and hitting sixies vs India?

 

[Watsupdoc]

189 all out... Should have bought Zaheer earlier on...
But still India to win by 9 wickets.

 

[thecricket]

189 all out

 

[rajachoudhary50]

I don't get this from Dhoni... why not give Zaheer full 10 overs? Does he wanna chase a 200 plus total and is helping Netherlands?

Maybe he wants batting practice for top of batting order in all matches

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maybe he wants batting practice for top of batting order in all matches

That's the only explanation I can see... But that sort of indicates that you are underestimating the other team...

 

[sazz]

India Innings:

1st ball and by Sehwag

 

[sazz]

by Sachin. Nice flick that.

 

[ZenBowman]

That's the only explanation I can see... But that sort of indicates that you are underestimating the other team...

I don't think that is the case, he probably kept going with the spinners because they were doing well enough, and maybe reserving Zaheer's energy for a later spell if needed. The other explanation is that Zaheer is no spring chicken and they just played 2 days ago.

 

[saajidrox]

sachin and sehwag might finish this match there in a hurry

 

[ZenBowman]

Good lusty hitting by the legend.....

 

[sazz]

and 2000 world cup runs for little master.

 

[umerz]

3.6 ten Doeschate to Tendulkar, FOUR, Imperious! And that's 2000 World-cup runs for SRT. First player. He moved forward and lifted a length delivery on the middle-stump line high over mid-on. Both batsmen in some mood today

 

[ZenBowman]

India getting overconfident here, sending Yousuf Pathan and telling Sehwag to play rash shots. Poor show.

Pride comes before a fall.

This is good for your net run rate.

 

[FM87]

Tendulkar must have breathed a sigh of relief after Sehwag's dismissal, who almost ruined the chances of Tendulkar's 47th? ODI century.

 

[iHammad]

Yusuf Pathan

 

[iHammad]

Tendulkar

 

[iHammad]

Wow, Tendu went for an aerial shot, caught at long on.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Yousaf coming one down. Good thinking. A bit of firepower at the top when you can afford it. Very nice.

 

[Romali_rotti]

These Netherland boys can Catch, great catch to take outSRT... Ok now buckle down and play safe till the last 30 odd runs dont want any nasty surprises.

 

[ZenBowman]

Agreed, no need to be overconfident.

 

[iHammad]

110 more to win, 8 wickets. Maybe?

Pride comes before a fall.

Chill man, it's just the dutch. All work and no play makes indian team look like misbah

One more wicket down and it'll set the cat among the pigeons...
