22 Feb - England vs Netherlands

[StinkyBoHoon]

every ball crucial.

dots will stack up, boundaries, like that one, are devestating.

 

[offdriven4]

the only positive from this game whether england win or not is that an Essex lad starred. flaming ridiculous from england,can't bat,can't bowl ,can't field

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

england will win, but I doubt they would have against any of the other test nations.

Bopara looks so clueless. Anyone else missing Yardy?

 

[MUFC1987]

I'm not, I'd take Bopara any day, the lad's quality with a bat in hand.

 

[offdriven4]

seeing as bopara has just smashed it for 6,i can't quite work out if your being sarcastic...

 

[Papa_Smurf]

That shot just made me take back my words.

Oooh, Collingwood you're looking so crap. What are you going to do now?

The batting's been fine today. Sure, you'd want a big score from someone, but it's been ok. The bowling was poor, but the worst thing for me, has been in the field. Catching, ground fielding and knowing where you're meant to be and when (i.e. in the circle) has been shocking.

Close but no cigar joint for the Dutch

Then I was being sarcastic. Thought the"" would've given you the hint.

against the quality of bowler we faced (with the exception of TenDo) the fact that between overs 10 and 45 we refused to really play any attacking shots was deeply disappointing.England would've saved more face had they been a lot more expansive,as it was apart from Bopara's little flurry at the end,england risked batting themselves out of the game,by being too circumspect and once finding ways to get themselves out.And to be brutally honest on this showing i fully expect India to annihilate us on sunday.

Good chase from the England side. Netherlands team will be very disappointed but they batted really well. It was never going to be easy to beat a side like England but they did well and gave a nice competition to the England side.

 

[Kabooka]

Very nice match indeed. For a while I thought that down the drain will go all the vCash that i've bet on England

Do remind me to never bet on England again.

any self respecting cricket fan would've learnt not to bet on england in limited overs matches years ago
