His pace & bounce may also cause the Pakistani batsman some discomfort. They didn’t much face Dougy Bollinger and Nannes is a wee bit quicker than him. Good job the Lord's wicket is fairly placid. The Oval should have some zip though.

I did'nt include any sub-continental team in my post because its an univeral truth that most batsmen from the sub-continent(Ind, Pak, Bangla, SL) are wobbly against genuine pace and bounce.

Netherlands should compete well, to expect them to knock off either Pakistan or England is a tall ask. Will be fantastic just to see RTD and Nannes compete against the internationals.
Can't see how the batsman will score greater than 120. Nannes will need to take 2-3 early wickets and cause some panic for the bowling attack to work.

The Dutch batting is fairly strong for an Associate side, but one of the big hitters will have to get lucky and get a good score in quick time. If not, they will indeed struggle to 120 or so. With the bowling of Nannes, RTD and Schiferli, that's 12 overs sorted. The remaining 8, to be bowled by the likes of Seelaar, Van Bunge and Bukhari, will be the troublesome part of the match.
Still expecting them to run England close; Pakistan must self-implode to have a chance against them, but that's of course not entirely unheard of. As long as it's not a rout, I'll be happy.

Well i've not seen netherlands play, so i don't know who doug bowlinger or nannes are
but if they've pace & they'll prepare a pitch which 'll 've pace & bounce(most likely they 'll in the match netherlands vs pakistan) Pakistan also has pace this time
Umer Gul is bowling at his peak, Sohail tanveer is handful, & Shoaib Akhter too
& i guess netherlands can't play Afridi, i know pitches 'll not spin, but Afridi doesn't spin the ball either :d
& England Vs netherlands, well easy victory for England
people are underestimating england
i can see them doing alot better, maybe they'll win it

Won't be at all surprised to see England bow out at the group stage
Would still be a massive upset.

again i would say if a bouncy track is made then yeah england can top the group
& most likely a bouncy track 'll be made cuz in 2006 ICC champions trophy every team playing against pakistan got home conditions
against srilanka it a spinning track, against newzealand & south africa bouncy tracks
in 2007 cricket world cup against westindies slow track, again ireland bouncy & grassy track & against zimbabwe slow track
in last T20 world cup, against scotland, grassy & wet pitch
so i guess against england & netherlands, it's going to be wet seeming pitches
but this time we've bowlers for that pitches
so lets see what happens
but if this time only for pakistan match this type of pitch is made, i guess Pakistan should not participate in any future tournament
