Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[King Pietersen]

Yeah, but if I see a player who has obvious skill, then I'm gunna defend him. God, it'd be bloody dull if I sat here nodding at everything you post

Nah it wouldn't. I'm always right you see.

England win by 48 runs. Super 8's here we come

Correct me if I am wrong, was Afridi hitting those with closed eyes?
That is amazing talent, anyway. The commentators summed it up well. The Afridi bugger is still living on reputation...and for how long! This was surely the most hilarious innings that I have seen for a long long time.
Well played England , I think they are pretty safe now for super 8.

Thank God England have won. I will no longer be seeing the Netherlands at Trent Bridge on Thursday

Solid performance by England, although Pakistan were woeful with the bat. If they play like that against the Netherlands then they can say goodbye to another major tournament.

 

[Skater]

We are actually through now no matter what happens between Pakistan and Holland. YES!!

2 out of 4 spots are sorted in Group E.

I hope Pakistan defeat Holland less than 48 runs:upray

 

[Master Khan]

I don't think Pakistan won't even go through to the super 8 now because Pakistan still haven't got any good openers.
There bowling and fielding was poor and as England scored that 185 I knew it was all over from there.

- I agree. Baaaa
- Everyone should start posting like this. Far easier.
- Bullet points > Paragraphs
- Gashid is gonna get taken to the cleaners.

Oh no he didn't (That's right, I'm a big fat black woman shaking my finger at you Danny Boi)

Gas - if you're reading this 5 mins behind we lost.
Who knew it was possible to score 57 runs off an over? All those no balls and free hit sixes!

Lol, i typed another post, before i wrote that but it didn't appear, my net went dodgy i think.

I did not read that post, luckily. I was none the wiser.

But

Stop

Ok, sorry enough of that crap. But England were amazing, and Pakistan were poor, but, we made them play like that with great bowling, great fielding, and pretty good batting. I cannot believe it.

Saying all this, you all know why England won right? Well, i predicted we would lose, so we won. Ain't life a bag of spuds. Onwards and upwards my fellow men. I'm not Einstein but we cannot fail to qualify now barring some sort of miracle right?

 

[Gurjot95]

It was great batting by England but I still think Pakistan give up the match.

 

[Master Khan]

Pakistan are out anyway
They will have to beat Holland by more then 50 runs to go through and the way they played today just proved that they have no chance of going through to the super 8s.

masterkhan added 1 Minutes and 59 Seconds later...

It was great batting by England but I still think Pakistan give up the match.

Pakistan didn't even try there best so yes they give up.
they scored too many 1 and 2 through out the match.

 

[Themer]

I like the way that Pietersen didn't believes Nassers "Maths".

Good win, good solid win. All the eleven played well today, barring maybe Bopara and that drop.

Looking forward to Netherlands vs Pakistan now, Pakistan need a big win to get through.

 

[Mercules]

Great result. Better performance than I'd ever imagined tbh and if Netherlands go through at the expense of Pakistan, the humiliation on Friday will have been worth it

 

[Skater]

I'm not Einstein but we cannot fail to qualify now barring some sort of miracle right?

It's mathematically impossible for us to fail to qualify now.

 

[Ahad]

Pakistani team is the worst right now! Come back home!!! :

 

[Gurjot95]

Pakistan even not tried to come close the target. They were taking singles and when they hit shots it didn't cross the boundaries and fielders take the catch easily. England was just doing catching practise.
