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

[hur rizvi]

we might see the 1st upset today ...

[ganeshran]

It is a very flat pitch though. You don't see many games at Nagpur (particularly tests) because the pitch is notoriously unsporting, as Bedi, Sanjay and Shastri will tell you.

Anderson is bowling abysmally here. Just ugly to watch.

Seeing Swann's spell, surely the pitch has something in it for the spinners. Interesting to see how Netherlands bowl

[IAJ]

Lols once you take a seaming/bouncy wicket away from these crap bowlers they get hammered all over the place, even by the minnows!

[Bullet Drive]

Broad on now.

[Sir john]

batting pp time

[Abdullah22]

'Pano broad nu'

[Theo_14]

Broad MUST hold his emotions during the batting powerplay!!

[Bullet Drive]

Powerplay been taken. Come on Netherlands!

[Amjid Javed]

Dutch 209/4 After 42 overs

[Sir john]

Lols once you take a seaming/bouncy wicket away from these crap bowlers they get hammered all over the place, even by the minnows!

++++++

[Bullet Drive]

Broad is a very underrated good death bowler whom I hate very much.

[Sir john]

RTD on 84

[Watsupdoc]

I reckon even 250 won't be enough to defend, but it will at least give them a chance.

[James]

Lols once you take a seaming/bouncy wicket away from these crap bowlers they get hammered all over the place, even by the minnows!

They bowled very well on flat pitches in the Ashes. I think they like the red ball, but not the white ball not so much. Even so the RR is still under 5, they are not being 'hammered'.

[Amjid Javed]

Bukhari still to come as well and he can smash a cricket ball.

[Sir john]

strauss looks very much busy.

[dhump]

Interesting to see how Power Play goes but good work from Netherlands.

[James]

Seeing Swann's spell, surely the pitch has something in it for the spinners. Interesting to see how Netherlands bowl

I think Swann is just the daddy. He picks up similar figures in a lot of ODIs.

[Sir john]

Bukhari still to come as well and he can smash a cricket ball.

raja too :D

[Bullet Drive]

They bowled very well on flat pitches in the Ashes. I think they like the red ball, but not the white ball not so much. Even so the RR is still under 5, they are not being 'hammered'.

When a minnow team is striking your main strike bowler in 'Anderson' at 5 an over, you are getting hammered.

[Watsupdoc]

Broad is a very underrated good death bowler whom I hate very much.

:)) nicely put.

[IAJ]

It is a very flat pitch though. You don't see many games at Nagpur (particularly tests) because the pitch is notoriously unsporting, as Bedi, Sanjay and Shastri will tell you.

Anderson is bowling abysmally here. Just ugly to watch.

Not surprised at all. Like the rest of the England fast bowlers he is only good on supporting wickets I am afraid. Crap bowlers depending too much on the supporting conditions.

[ganeshran]

Broad is coming on.. Interesting to see the contest between him and Doaschate

[Theo_14]

England having a long discussion here - I'm sure they have a interesting tactic up their sleeve.

[James]

Not surprised at all. Like the rest of the England fast bowlers he is only good on supporting wickets I am afraid. Crap bowlers depending too much on the supporting conditions.

read my reply above.

and 4.98 run rate is not hammered.

[Sir john]

rauf :14:

[Bullet Drive]

Partnership = 60 from 55.

[Hando]

cheeky single

[Watsupdoc]

Enough with the chit chat get on with it...

[Bullet Drive]

Fumble from Matt Prior, Whippy you wanna call him rubbish like you called Haddin yesterdai?

[Hando]

slight hint of reverse swing

[James]

Good attempted yorker from Broad, need more of those.

[IAJ]

We will either see alot of runs in the PP or alot of wickets go down?

[Hando]

come on RTD hit a century!

[Bullet Drive]

Good attempted yorker from Broad, need more of those.

You just need Umar Gul .

[Watsupdoc]

Netherlands should just hit the ball back to Broad and run, he will never get them out. :))

[Sir john]

need big shots now.

[Bullet Drive]

OUT! EEEE.. nasty ball.

[James]

Fumble from Matt Prior, Whippy you wanna call him rubbish like you called Haddin yesterdai?

not really because Prior has kept immaculately for some time. anyone who watches England games without the chip on the shoulder will tell you this. I remember Haddin dropped 2 catches and missed a stumping in 1 session in the Ashes. Rubbish player.

Good man Broad.

[Phuzz]

out

[malakian]

Sloppy display from us in the field. :(

[ganeshran]

:out

[Hando]

Barbie gets a wicket

[Sir john]

bowled him

:out

grooth

[hussnainn]

Just came out of meeting

OMG what a match

[Watsupdoc]

Meh Grooth was just trying tooo hard...

[Bullet Drive]

Very sloppy from England in the field today. That missed catch today Haha. I can't even call it a drop catch because no one went to catch it HAHA!.

[James]

You just need Umar Gul .

I would love a player like Gul in ODIs. Broad is probably the closest we have to him, but Broad needs to learn how to reverse the ball - Gul is the master of making the white ball talk. Broad's variation in the last ten is very handy though.

[Bullet Drive]

Borren in!

[IAJ]

read my reply above.

and 4.98 run rate is not hammered.

Flat wickets in Australia are nowhere near flat wickets in the sub-cdontinent. In Australi you will get alot of bounce as well, and stop bringing in the Ashes all the time.

Besides you are playing a minnow now. If they bowl like this against SA or India you better switch off the TV then.

[Bullet Drive]

Why haven't umpires stopped England from throwing on the pitches to scuff up the ball. If that was Pakistan!

[Sir john]

NED 214/5 (43.0 Ovs)

[James]

why would I stop bringing in the Ashes? it was a great example of the skill on offer on this England team. or should we disregard the latest Pakistani success in an analysis of them too?

I would say that the bowling has been toothless apart from Broad and Swann. Hopefully they will get away with it today and improve as the tournament goes on.

[Bullet Drive]

Come On Ryan, get to your century!!!!

[Bullet Drive]

fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Bullet Drive]

poor attempt in the outfield from England. Extremely poor fielding.

[Watsupdoc]

Yes the man in form, needs to keep most of the strike.

[Sir john]

:4 by RTD

[hussnainn]

:four

[ganeshran]

But Whippy, ODIs are a totally different ball game than test cricket.

[Bullet Drive]

four moreeeeeeeeeeeee

[Bullet Drive]

Ryan on 95 from 95.

[ganeshran]

:four

[Bullet Drive]

7 fours 3 sixes, magnificent.!

[Sir john]

again :four

[James]

But Whippy, ODIs are a totally different ball game than test cricket.

of course. I've made every distinction I can between the red ball and the white ball, but at the end of the day, today has not been a true reflection of what we're capable of.

I must say, that was a delicious straight drive. He deserves a hundred.

[Watsupdoc]

another :four

[Bullet Drive]

96 from 96. He has looked magnificent!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Two cracking boundries there

[Watsupdoc]

1 run 4 away now.

[Sir john]

good
single taken

:14:

[Bullet Drive]

Borren can really strike a cricket ball. Let him get set and I believe once Ryan has made his century. He will go all guns blazing on the English bowlers.

[Bullet Drive]

Single off broad. Ryan on strike.. Ryan vs Englands best bowler.

[Sir john]

NED 225/5 (44.0 Ovs)

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Really hope Doeschate gets a big century.

He has played a gem of an inns. The best inns of the WC so far.

That flick of the wrist for six was the shot of the WC so far as well.

[Theo_14]

Ryan has demolished England bowlers.

[Amjid Javed]

The dutch should still get 260 here atleast!

[Bullet Drive]

Broad has been superb today. I don't like his character but I have to say he is an awesome cricketer.

[Bullet Drive]

Safeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Watsupdoc]

borren being sensible.

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

good going

[Bullet Drive]

Neally outttttt! 97 of 97

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Pheeew !

They take 2

[James]

That 'missed' catch was dire. I wonder how important it will prove to be.

[Bullet Drive]

100 up for ryan, well played . A truly magnificent innings from ryan.

[Sir john]

on 98 now

[Bullet Drive]

hahahahahaha ,COMEDY OF ERRORS!

[Theo_14]

100!!!!

Contrags Ryan!!

LOL @ England's fielding

[Amjid Javed]

Tenders onto 98*

[James]

EPIC facepalm!!!

Holland's game to lose now.

[hazen_batti]

Century for Doeschate :14:

[Watsupdoc]

:century!!! :))) :14:

[ganeshran]

100 ..how did the ball have 5 runs? I am not seeing the match live.

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Tenders! Brilliant knock! Finally the world cup has started! :)

[Bullet Drive]

I bet England want him in their side too. England should really be called 'World XI' now with their Irish/SA players.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Who needs four when you can get five ?

Briliant century, the shots played have been absolute class.

Now take the Dutch to 280

[Sir john]

100 for RTD

:yahoo

[IAJ]

The idiot Nannes should have stayed with Netherlands. The Dutch could have benefitted from his services today!

[murphyslaw79]

well played sir!!!

[akbarc1]

Great innings

[Bullet Drive]

4 moree what a shot!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Cracked

:four

[Amjid Javed]

Borren using his head here and picking up the singles.

[James]

I bet England want him in their side too. England should really be called 'World XI' now with their Irish/SA players.

I think he can play for England or South Africa in any format in the future if he wishes, because he has only played for an associate nation.

Another brilliant shot. Now we really are getting hammered!!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

That is truly the way to play the pull shot

[ganeshran]

:four Awesome player. Respect.

[Bullet Drive]

He is really a power house.

[Gabbar Singh]

This guy would walk into the Saffer team. Maybe a bit too late for him though at 30.

[Watsupdoc]

Ten the beast!!!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Well dug out.

Keeps strike for the next over.

[Sir john]

crr 5.24

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

239 | 5 | 45

[Theo_14]

England getting hammered here - I can't see the glimpse of qualites that I witnessed during the tour of Australlia?

[ganeshran]

I was thinking his performance watch thread was a bit silly to create such a thread for every player.

But RTD showed he worthy!!

[munna_]

amazing century!!! :14:

england are playing the way netherlands was suppose to play in this match :100:

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Single

[*sallu*]

Great innings

[ganeshran]

Can RTD play for India ?

[Watsupdoc]

Good retains the strike.

[TNA]

Any chance for him to walk into the Pak team?

[Watsupdoc]

Can RTD play for India ?

You need phaast bowlers not batsmen :P

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Dug out by Borren

Single

[Krishnan]

250 would have been easy for england.If they reach 280-300 here and get two wickets within 40 runs,should be a nice match.

[AZ]

could this be the day the WC finally comes to life?!

[Watsupdoc]

I guess don't ball short on this wicket.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Doeschate would walk into our team

[Theo_14]

If Holland can up their gear here - then England could be looking at a target of 270-280 here.

[Sir john]

NED 240/5 (45.1 Ovs)

[James]

England getting hammered here - I can't see the glimpse of qualites that I witnessed during the tour of Australlia?

I was never optimistic about this tournament, as I have made clear on PakPassion. Still a long way to go.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Height No Ball

[Theo_14]

Awfull delivery. No ball given!

[ganeshran]

You need phaast bowlers not batsmen :P

He's a great bowler too.. Who cares about phaast as long as you can take wickets and not give away too many runs

[Phuzz]

Doeschate would walk into our team

England will try to get him in now.

[Markhor]

Magnificent innings from Ryan ten Doeschate,remarkable temperament.Netherlands can be really proud of their performance.Watched in ball-by-ball as internet access was cut off but really worth watching it live,some Pakistan batsmen can learn from him !

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Only need a round a run a ball for 270

[Sir john]

no :ball:

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Review Coming Up

[Watsupdoc]

If Netherlands defeat England, does that mean Pak wins the world cup or does that mean that England does? :13:

[ganeshran]

anderson to ten doeschate, 1 run, full from the new bowler - anderson - and flicked into the leg side. Ten doeschate looks to be in some trouble with crap possibly


lol :))

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Right Decision by Rauf Bhai

He underedged it

[IAJ]

Come on Ten Doeschate, bring up the 250 in this over already.

[Amoeba]

Anderson to ten Doeschate, 1 run, full from the new bowler - Anderson - and flicked into the leg side. ten Doeschate looks to be in some trouble with crap possibly


Surely not!

[hur rizvi]

WoW wat a foolish Review

[James]

We'd still be favourites to chase 280 against Holland on a flat pitch. But I think Holland have a great chance.

What a terrible review!!

There are going to be some rollockings in the mid-innings break, hopefully they will have the right effect...

[Theo_14]

A waste of review there - Ryan ten Doeschate on strike here.

[TNA]

My word. Strauss has gone insane infact the whole team has gone insane

[Hando]

Asad Rauf, good eye

[Abdullah22]

That's what good umpiring is.
Pakistan Umpiring Zindabaad.

[ganeshran]

Teen Sau banao!! Teen Sau

[Bullet Drive]

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/images/smilies/four.gif WHAT SHOT ! HAHAHA:p

[MC]

Forget about sucking up to hopeless Bangladesh. I say Holland is the team that should be given enough chances to break into mainstream cricket. They have some serious blend of talent and professionalism.

[Phuzz]

hahahha anderson.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Beamer By Anderson again

5 No Balls

[hur rizvi]

2nd beamer from anderson

[Syed Ali Imran]

Asad Rauf you beauty!!!

[James]

Get him off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My god.

[Rizie]

Damn the groundcommentator is irritating

HollNd has given englNd a mental blow

Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

[Vegitto1]

This, by the way, is Netherlands' highest score against a Test nation beating the 230 against England they made on this day 15 years ago.

Always find these things interesting.

[Theo_14]

What on EARTH is Anderson doing here?

He should be withdrawn.

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

wah kya review kya hai

[Phuzz]

Anderson has lost the plot.

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson you beauty! :P

[Sir john]

:4

[ganeshran]

Is it just me or are England really sloppy today? They usually have a decent bowling attack. Giving no balls is pretty amateurish

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Single

[*sallu*]

Anderson
hahahhaha

[Amjid Javed]

Beamer By Anderson again

5 No Balls

England resorting to some pathetic stuff now!

[hazen_batti]

Netherlands have played way better than us against England :facepalm:

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Late Cut, Single

[Amjid Javed]

Dutch get 300 here now! :)

[TNA]

ANderson is swinging miles in the air

[Syed Ali Imran]

Strauss, Anderson and co going maddd crazy, Doeschate hundred has taken England's nerves. Netherlands is looking good for 280+ total on the board.

[James]

Anderson should be dropped for the next game whatever happens, purely as a punishment. Complete shambles from him. I don't know quite how Asad has let him continue bowling.

[Theo_14]

Netherlands have played way better than us against England :facepalm:

But we had several key players rested - so not to worry :).

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Beautifully flicked for two, good diving stop

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson trying to take Ten out. :P

[Sir john]

NED 253/5 (46.0 Ovs)

[ace4rmspace]

Why is Jimmy still bowling? Why was he not taken off after the 2 beamers??

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

253 | 5 | 46

[Amjid Javed]

Netherlands 253/5 after 46 overs.

[mohd_mir]

salam PPers.
what do we have here?? :o England taken to cleaners by netherlands. what a performance by them so far.

[ganeshran]

253/5 46 overs

[Amjid Javed]

Anderson looking like a club bowler! Back to way he was back in 2003! Looks like a joke!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Chopped away, single

[ganeshran]

this just shows how tough the group B is.

[Theo_14]

:)) @ creig


Tendisulkar - what a legend.

[IAJ]

Did he bowl 2 beamers in thsi over? Why wasn't he taken off then?

[Bullet Drive]

Group B is really tough.

[TNA]

LOL.

ten doesculkar

[AZ]

If Netherlands defeat England, does that mean Pak wins the world cup or does that mean that England does? :13:

it means we all win the World Cup.

[Phuzz]

I'm so glad we're in group A

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Lovely Cover Drive, single

[Bullet Drive]

118 not out

[Sir john]

last over of bresnan

[Krishnan]

Anderson should be dropped for the next game whatever happens, purely as a punishment. Complete shambles from him. I don't know quite how Asad has let him continue bowling.

Lol never.Uusally the bangalore pitch has some very good lateral movement,and if by chance england bat first and post 260,anderson can be the wrecker in chief there under lights.

[JellyBro]

they should make 280 easily
Ryan Ten just put some life back into this otherwise boring world cup :)

[Markhor]

The idiot Nannes should have stayed with Netherlands. The Dutch could have benefitted from his services today!

Exactly,I wonder how their bowling lineup will perform,they do lack a leading wicket-taker like Nannes,shame he sold out !

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Dot

[Bullet Drive]

King of amsterdam loool.

[IAJ]

This Borren guy is good. He takes singles easily it seems and gives the strike to the main man.

[hazen_batti]

England resorting to some pathetic stuff now!

Is Anderson planning for Suicidal attack on Doeschate with that beamer.:D

[TNA]

trying to be Misbah there

[Bullet Drive]

a single ran. Ryan on strike!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Cut, single

[the Great Khan]

barbie got battered..thats made my day..lol

[Vegitto1]

Why is Jimmy still bowling? Why was he not taken off after the 2 beamers??

Rauf wants him to give more freebies to Netherland :asadrauf

[Syed Ali Imran]

Is it just me or are England really sloppy today? They usually have a decent bowling attack. Giving no balls is pretty amateurish

England is still in a denial, they started off on a defensive note they are paying for it now, They are being frustrated, tried and when you be this you tend to do stupid things on the field, just witnessed one of the most embarrasing moments for England in last Anderson over, how Strauss claimed for an lbw shout and it didnt even hit the pad first, how Anderson is balling full toss no balls plus Strauss the Spin God for England is not even doing something extra ordinary.

They are just paying off for the wrong approach towards this game.

[Ashraful_Rox]

England found Ryan Neil ten Doeschate for Paul Collingwood's replacement. Ryan will feature in the the English team for the next T20 world cup. What a player

[Watsupdoc]

it means we all win the World Cup.

I was referring to the WC where Netherlands defeated England. Who won that one?

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Tendu..

[James]

Lol never.Uusally the bangalore pitch has some very good lateral movement,and if by chance england bat first and post 260,anderson can be the wrecker in chief there under lights.

He wouldn't be able to bowl out my grandma at Trent Bridge in this form!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Single to midwicket

[Bullet Drive]

Partnership is 44 from 26 LOL!

[Bullet Drive]

Dropped catch haaahahahaahhaa

[Theo_14]

Trott drops a catch - unlucky, good effort.

[Sir john]

dropped


2 runs

[James]

Almost a great catch.

[Bullet Drive]

Where is Whippy??

[Syed Ali Imran]

borren dropped by trott, good try btw.

[Borg]

No threads about racist umpiring ?

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Flicked behind fine leg

[Bullet Drive]

Ryan on Strike , UH OH!!!!!!!!!

[Watsupdoc]

3 more overs left!

[JellyBro]

bad captaincy to use up Swann early on? I think so!

[ganeshran]

England is still in a denial, they started off on a defensive note they are paying for it now, They are being frustrated, tried and when you be this you tend to do stupid things on the field, just witnessed one of the most embarrasing moments for England in last Anderson over, how Strauss claimed for an lbw shout and it didnt even hit the pad first, how Anderson is balling full toss no balls plus Strauss the Spin God for England is not even doing something extra ordinary.

They are just paying off for the wrong approach towards this game.

Looks like Swann is their only good bowler. Broad who is usually very good, isnt up to his mark

[Sir john]

NED 259/5 (47.0 Ovs)

[IAJ]

The PowerPlay yielded 50 runs for the Netherlands! :)

[James]

Where is Whippy??

um here all along?

[Sir john]

41 in 18 for 300

[James]

No threads about racist umpiring ?

it was :rauf

[Syed Ali Imran]

259-5 in 47 overs.

3 more overs to go.

[ganeshran]

Come on Netherlands reach 300!!

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

259 | 5 | 47

[the Great Khan]

i reckon england can chase any total though,...dutch bowling is probably rubbish!

[90MPH]

Brilliant effort by the Dutch, if they get 280 then game on.
England would still be favorites but you never know.

[Bullet Drive]

Easy..

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Byes

[Sir john]

Partnership 46(27)

[ganeshran]

Score predictions everyone?? I go for 280-285

[Bullet Drive]

1 run taken. Ryan on strike!

[Theo_14]

King of Amsterdam on strike here!

[Markhor]

i reckon england can chase any total though,...dutch bowling is probably rubbish!

Would not have been if it wasn't for that sell-out Nannes !!

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson continues? :O

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Run through to the keeper

Doeschate struggling

[Bullet Drive]

UH OH Ryan looks injured.

[Gabbar Singh]

Poor finish so far - they need 6s.

[Sir john]

need of mighty hits not of singles

[James]

i reckon england can chase any total though,...dutch bowling is probably rubbish!

I agree, but it should be a great match. Holland might win - they seem to be our bogey team!! Even if we lose to Holland, I would not be surprised to see us beat India or South Africa! The joys of being an England fan.

[ganeshran]

How many byes are these guys conceeding today?

[Bullet Drive]

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/images/smilies/four.gif WHAT A SHOT!
