Netherlands 4/11 in the last couple of overs - nerves perhaps?

Zuiderent is too experienced to let that happen surely.

 

[NUFAN]

What fascinating Cricket. Wish the top 8 teams in the world was this tight..

Why aren't Namibia giving it a whack? Surely, they have nothing to gain by playing out 50 overs now.

Snyman out btw.

Probably demoralised by now and cbf, just want the game to end by now. Same as UAE I guess.

silly if they, cos they could yet win.

Haha, I like this Irish commentator. Least he has a sense of humor.

4:06 PM and that's the second drinks break. Ireland are second favourites at this stage

Oh and Namibia lost a wicket.

 

[starkcontrast]

Namibia now 8-down.

Well they just took the play power, so maybe they were getting their eye in first.

I'm beginning to wonder if Kenya are going for it myself. 77 wanted off 11 with two batsmen scoring around 50/100 balls.

Looks like they are just trying to bat 50 overs out and clinch the WC spot.

Negative tactics for sure - but with all at stake, can you really blame them?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Wtf Oranje!?!!

They'll get up. I think we can rule the Scots out now, too - it will take a freak beyond all precedence for them to make it through. So it's the Afghans, a Kotze miracle or Kenya. I still cannot see anywhere beyond Kenya as Namibia aren't getting up here, and 94 runs aren't being reversed.

They both have good arms and the RRR is just about 6 which is not too much

 

[stumpski]

Dutch within three shots of home now - 13 wanted.

I think they are relying a fair bit on the powerplay. Basically holding off till then. But it might be too big of task by then.

was thinking the same thing, but they may be thinking back to that win in the WCL where Odoyo teed up in the last overs. With these two, kamande and Odhiambo to come, the firepower should be there...

This is why I raised the question earlier. I think Kenya have been given a message if they bat out the overs they are through.....possibly. Its all too confusing now.

RTD gone for 1...for Essex. Good riddance.

If Namibia were skittled now Kenya need 38 off the final 10.
