*Official* Match 5 - England v Netherlands

[marc71178]

FFS, it's England we talking about.. They themselves are a friggin minnow when it comes to ODI cricket.. Compare to the likes of Aus, SA, Ind, SL and figure out where England stand.. Eng Suck in ODI's is a known fact.

Oh yes, must have missed the 12 month or whatever it was spell that England were unbeaten in ODI series before the Australia one.

Including a win in SA IIRC.

What's that got to do with his post?

Point is stop supporting the the inclusion of minnows in the WC.

It's a world event, why shouldn't the best associates be in the tournament?

 

[Jono]

If you don't reckon what Netherlands did today is an achievement you're being silly.

Ireland and Bangladesh qualified ahead of Pakistan and India last WC ffs.

I wasn't supporting the inclusion of minnows. I said that I didn't really have a problem with them being included, as long as the length of the tournament could be shortened.

EDIT :

Oh, okay mate. All good.

Come on guys, insulting other posters is not acceptable, or necessary.

 

[_Ed_]

Ah well. Good effort, Netherlands. I'm off to bed now. Would love to wake up to news of a big collapse, but I doubt it.

So come on who thought Strauss would ever get a 34 ball 50?

Been easy so far, just got to be sensible and as long as one of these two get a ton it should be a simple win.

KP gone

 

[Nate]

That was always on! Strauss the big wicket, obvs.

 

[Blaze 18]

Massive blow.

 

[Blaze 18]

The required rate has crossed six for the first time. Can Netherlands push it up further ?

 

[salman85]

Make no mistake,this is definitely going down to the wire.

Make no mistake,this is definitely going down to the wire.

If it does it will only be because its England batting. On this pitch, with these bowlers, from this situation it should be a cake walk for any half decent international side.

Which is why England are 1/9 at the bookies

 

[Blaze 18]

Too many easy singles on offer.

 

[Jayzamann]

Cat, pidgeons.

(for the time being)

Guardian OBO:

"If/When Strauss gets to 89, he will become the highest scorer by an England captain in a World Cup," statsgurus Paul Frame.

Cue soft dismissal to NL's weakest bowler on 88.
