Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[Skater]

A wide. :laugh What's Broad doing?

It shouldn't have been called a wide.

In the final 5 overs the Netherlands will need 35 runs.

Actually I would have called the next ball afterwards also a wide.

Helped by gash bowling from Rashid. Shite captaincy from Collingwood to give the wet ball to the leg-spinner as well. England have been shocking in the field and with the ball. We deserve to lose this game.

 

[ZexyZahid]

What a comedy! It could have an easy run out.

33 of 28 needed.

Was there a reason why England didn't pick Swann? That seems like a bit of complacency to me, if you've got a good spinner why bench him? Nothing wrong with running Rashid, just make sure Swann is in the mix. They might even be missing Dimi a little, he has a bit of a knack. Obviously, problems with Pietersen are a blow they can't do much about now, but I'm not sure you can cover for a couple of big injuries and still keep important players in the shed.

Still, a lot of credit should go to the Netherlands, their bowling towards the end was a lot better than at the start, you might even suggest there was a bit of quality to it. Once they got a breakthrough, they pressured the batsmen well and the overs of Borren showed that accuracy can be a powerful weapon, even if you've got no pace whatsoever.

Holland are close to a victory here

 

[evertonfan]

Lmao. It serves England right for resting Swann and KP. Injuries my arse.

 

[ZexyZahid]

The England fielders are making some really great stops.

Another wicket is fallen. Why did Borren go airborne? No need for that with this situation.

 

[King Pietersen]

Wicket at last. But it is pouring down with rain. Hopefully the Umpires'll just let the game continue and get a proper end. Man how we needed that.

 

[evertonfan]

It's pissing it down and the last thing you need now is a spinner bowling. So yeah, let's put a spinner on why don't we?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Netherlands are 3 runs behind D/L score now. Wait, I think the 136 runs was meant for the end of the over.

Indeed. Collingwood's captaincy has been nothing short of awful in this game. We deserve to lose, and unless Holland bottle it, we will.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I hope the whole team gets aids.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I missed the four of van Bunge. 21 of 18 balls needed.
