Group 1 Second Round - Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands

[Stapel]

Team could use some lads like de Grooth and Schiferli these days

We do not so much need these two cricketers. Rather their particularly great performances, that day in June 2009.

What happened to Ryan ten D ?

What happened to Ryan ten D ?

He is not best friends with the Dutch Cricket Board these days. A shame really.

 

[Stapel]

I'm not complaining this time. But why are fielders in the deep a couple of yards from the boundary?

 

[grecian]

Clever bowling from Ravi-bop, clearly the slow full-toss was a cunning plan.

 

[MW1304]

You can accept having a fairly ****e team being reflected in the results, but the ****e fielding gets on the nerves, especially when usually good fielders are dropping them.

 

[MW1304]

Well ****, Chris.

 

[stumpski]

Wickets falling in a heap. But a reminder that Buttler shouldn't yet be considered as the Test 'keeper.

 

[grecian]

I think we've missed Dirtbag here in these last overs, where's the thrills? where's the spills? Boring stuff from Jordan

 

[theegyptian]

yes Buttler has been awful this winter as keeper. Missed loads standing up to the stumps here and in the WI. Shows why Somerset and England previously stuck with Kieswetter with the gloves even though he was hardly a quality keeper.

 

[Daemon]

Really slow pitch, don't think it's going to be that easy to chase if England don't get going early on. .

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bookies have a lot more faith in England chasing this down than anyone on here I would imagine. England gone from like 1-50 to 1-9.

 

[stumpski]

Oh Jeebus. 26 for 3.

Chance to make amends here. Might be an idea to take a look at a few before teeing off.

 

[Spark]

england, what the everloving **** are you doing

 

[Neil Pickup]

Defeat here makes Giles' position untenable, right?

Hup Holland Hup...

 

[stumpski]

England still favourites in my book, as long as these two stay together - but they have to put on at least 50. Reminding me a bit of that ODI against Ireland.

 

[stumpski]

Not sure this is the time for Buttler to be getting cute with paddle scoops and the like. Just stay there and play proper cricket shots.

 

[MW1304]

What an embarrassment.

 

[Spikey]

ravi doesn't deserve this
