Engelbrecht! Blast from the past for sure.

Yep, they’ll need all the firepower necessary.

The mere mention of Logan van Beek’s name sends shivers through my spine.

 

[CricAddict]

They have assembled a decent squad here with loads of all-rounders in Van Beek, De Leede, Engelbrecht, RVD Merwe, Teja and Ackermann. Even if they lose all 9 matches, I don't think they will get slaughtered.

Engelbrecht, Ackermann, Barresi, v/d Merwe, Klein (and tbh Sybrand Engelbrecht has a name like a CDA prime minister from the 1960s and hasn't played in SA since forever)

Netherlands can shock the world by beating Pakistan

 

[slippy888]

Singh is a genius batsman how he adapt to life in Netherlands so easily

 

[Flem274*]

Teja won't be answering his interview questions any time soon when he has to show up for a World Cup.

Go the Dutch!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Engelbrecht! Blast from the past for sure.

Oh **** is this the same Engelbrecht who took that insane catch at an under 18 world cup that went viral ages ago?

Looks to be. Jesus that hang time

Yeah it is!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just an observation. I think that Logan van Beek’s skills are being wasted at #9.

His best spot should be as a floater in the lineup. He eats pacers for dinner.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

there was a short profile of cricket in the Netherlands in nu.nl with the news that the sport reached the Olympics, and the board revealed there is currently about 5,000 active players in the country

i think that's about the member size of one of the more rural English counties

They may beat RSA tomorrow. Remember they are the ones that eliminated RSA from T20 wc last year
