***Official***Match #24- Australia vs Netherlands- October 25th-Delhi (D/N)

[King Kane]

Van Beek strikes, horrible shot from Mitch Marsh.

 

[Burgey]

Smith really needs a score here to get some momentum in the tourney. Been very ordinary so far

 

[Ashes81]

He'll take 8/19 against England as they're skittled for 38 chasing 364 to win against us.

Very charitable post mate - obviously you don't rate your batting line up if our attack can limit you to 363.

We’ll declare in the 35th

Won't get a better opportunity than tonight to turn his fortunes around.

**** that was streaky though through point/gully

 

[Burgey]

Green at seven does make the batting look a lot better on paper, and he should be a lock over Stoinis. Just a concern his bowling is more hittable on these decks though

 

[Molehill]

He's being served up a vey generous buffet at the moment.

Yeah that was short junk but he put it away well. He's looking very positive tonight from the word go.

 

[King Kane]

The Dutch bowlers are playing Smith into form, just what we need when we are playing Australia next.

Got a feeling your lot may not offer him long hops and half volleys or bowl on his pads.

 

[Molehill]

Is Warner struggling in the heat? Seems to be seeing a lot of the physio....

 

[social]

Good analysis by Watto

I hope not., Boult, Henry, Santner and co should be a much tougher test for them, doesn't help when they get some nice easy batting practice though.

 

[Molehill]

The Netherlands seem to bowl 2 types of overs, the tight one or the complete stinker!!

 

[TheJediBrah]

I know he's had a couple lbws but I still wouldn't recommend "bowl at his pads" as a tactic against Steve Smith

Especially if you're an associate medium pacer

 

[ashley bach]

They've really kept Warner in check since those four consecutive boundaries.

Lucky to still be there, struggling with the short ball now.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Reckon Warner's being beaten by the lack of pace from these bouncers. Wouldn't get too many at this pace in the normal run of international cricket

 

[Burgey]

This Netherlands ground fielding has been first rate for the most part so far.

Been really good disciplined cricket all round, except for a couple of patches of loose bowling
