*Official* Match #2- Netherlands v Pakistan- October 6th, Hyderabad

[Aritro]

Gotta admire the way the Dutch public have got behind the World Cup. They must be loving what their team are doing at the moment.

Netherlands field really well. Professional outfit.

 

[Silver Silva]

This Netherlands team reminds me a lot of the Zimbabwe 1999 WC team , Bas De Leede is Neil Johnson

What. There's no way that's real.

De leede is quality. Reminder that he took 5fer and made a 120 SR 100 in the same game to get the dutch in this tournament.

I don't see NL chasing whatever is set here unless O'DOWD/edwards go massive. Their middle order is pants and pak have some quality bowlers.

They'd have a shot at chasing 250 odd if they get through Shaheen's first spell unscathed imo.

You reckon? There's a bit in this deck for the spinners and I'm not 100% on the netherlands bats being able to pick shadab's variations. Plus rauf exists.

But if the wicket changes under lights like it did yesterday, then they have a real chance.

Can they restrict them to 260

 

[slippy888]

Netherlands chased down 370 against a very talented West Indies bowling lineup

Pk batting is terrible. It's a bunch of hacks and a timid Babar who is a mental midget.

 

[Aritro]

Colin Ackerman reminds me of former Australian bowler Carl Rackemann. They have little in common and don't even have the same name.

 

[Shady Slim]

the dutch have done great but i get an eerie feeling this might be a bit like that famous england v ireland test where the much weaker team manages to get an early upper hand before having the piss beaten out of them in the second innings

we'll see how it shakes out though and nothing's certain, especially at a world cup

Weird seeing O'Dowd bigged up lol I'm sure he never rose above Auckland A here.

Good to see the broadcaster run that highlights package of Imran's cornered tigers securing the funds for his cancer hospital.

No doubt the England team still find succour in that thought, after Imran told them what it was ultimately all for.

I'm not 100% on his ODI stuff but he carried NL in their past 2 t20 WC appearances. He's not the fastest scorer in that format (~120 sr) so i'de assume his game would translate well to ODI's.
