"Pushed my balls through the hand" LOL.

 

[GIMH]

Nope, I'm watching on TV. I know about the streaming delays, but on actual TV???

Yeah I assumed you would be, but just wanted to check. That is bizarre. Best make sure I don't glance at cricinfo when I'm watching matches then

Just me, or is sky sports not showing the score on screen during overs?

 

[ripper868]

ha, no sooner i post that, the ribbon is now on screen. thankyou broadcast truck guy on his phone.

 

[Socerer 01]

this Shakeel guy can bat

 

[Molehill]

This game was interesting for a while, gone rather predictable now. Pakistan should get well over 300 from here.

 

[chris.hinton]

Pakistan aren't a good side. Netherlands are obvious fodder

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gone a bit pear shaped for the Dutch, that shakeel drop will hurt, he's been superb since then.

 

[Aritro]

This Zulfiqar bloke probably watches Santner bowl and goes "**** that's an ugly action", and he's absolutely right

 

[Molehill]

The Dutch now using their 8th different bowler, can't help thinking they should be focusing more on the core. Why has Ackermann only bowled 1 over?

I'm not sure it's what I'd do but I think there's some merit to the tactic of throwing a bunch of different **** at them when you know you need a bit of luck to cover the skill gap. Just doing the same stuff over and over and trying to play it kosher probably isn't going to get you a win.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That is an all timer of a commentators curse.

 

[Athlai]

8 bowlers is so jammy

 

[Molehill]

This is going along quite similarly to the England innings yesterday - just when you think 340 is on the cards they lose a set batsman.

Hmmm

Interesting.

Very very interesting

 

[BazBall21]

Dutch are well in this

 

[Burgey]

Dutch are well in this

I would say with the match poised as it is, they’re currently in de leede

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Pak as usual keeping old age traditions alive.

 

[ataraxia]

Pakistan could be skittled here. Always feels that way when the 6th wicket falls, and Shadab is hardly futile resistance, but the upset is nearing probable IMO.

 

[straw man]

Officially in trouble now, last recognised batting pair.
