*Official* Match 5 - England v Netherlands

[vicleggie]

ooh strauss out. this will be interesting
please get bell n trott out - then the stinkin poms will be really screwed!

If it does it will only be because its England batting. On this pitch, with these bowlers, from this situation it should be a cake walk for any half decent international side.

Which is why England are 1/9 at the bookies

Strauss gone.

Holland are still in it.

 

[Woodster]

Still over six an over required, but 8 wickets in hand should be key. Trott and Bell to just work it around for now, build a steady partnership but shouldn't allow this run rate to escalate too much. Plenty of gaps out there for a risk free partnership to develop at a decent rate. Would be nice if we do a professional job here, at least in the second part of the game, and ease our way to the target with plenty of wickets and overs in hand. Not always been the case with England mind.

Whoever wins this match,it's been the best one of the tournament so far IMO.

best one of what?
best match? Then easily.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Easily the best game seeing as this is the first one that has actually been a contest.

Part of me hopes the Dutch come back into it and make a real nailbiter of it as we don't want to see a onesided finish all the time.

Guess this means Seelaar >> Doherty and Beer....

Dutch would have really loved to have Nannes in their ranks atm, but still couple of wickets here could make things kind of interesting.

That's a picture of one sharp left-arm spinner, presumably his quicker ball with the stump cartwheeling out of the ground ?

Hurts, doesn't it?

 

[superkingdave]

Strauss gone.

Holland are still in it.

7 an over with 8 wickets in hand and a powerplay to come. If England were playing a top nation they would be heavy favourites.

 

[Woodster]

Hurts, doesn't it?

What does ?

 

[Woodster]

Great work from Barresi there, very sharp. Decent innings again from Trott comes to an end. Still some work to do here.

 

[salman85]

GONE!

game on bitches!

 

[weldone]

Rtd! Wag!

 

[Jono]

Should still win easily, but the fact that it's not over just yet is good enough from Holland IMO. Good stuff from them.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]
