[Cricket] ODI Netherlands v England

[PILTDOWN MAN]

England suffering a small batting collapse.


414/4 45 overs

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Livingston on 33 from 7 balls

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Isn’t this kind of pointless?

 

[JJ McClure]

It does just seem a little bit mean

They have beaten us in 20 overs. They have also beaten Bangladesh and others.

No matter what the opposition (at this level) hitting 66 off 22 balls is amazing!

Unfortunately the Dutch are without their 3 best players today, as they're stuck with their counties. As such, 3 younger lads have been called up.

It's tough but you can see the confidence of the bowling was not there and some of the catches that were dropped were atrocious. I play cricket here in NL and you'd be pissed if a teammate dropped those.

That being said, NL do have a couple of decent batters.


Also looking forward to the second game on Sunday. It's going to be even busier. If anyone else is going, I've heard that the catering has been atrocious. Queues of 45 minutes for beer.

Basically Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten out. DJ Locadia, Elvis Manu, Danny Holla in.

Netherland already behind the required run rate, as only at 6-0 after one over.

Dam, just a bunch of cloggers then etc (add further Dutch references to taste).

Genuinely gutting. Knocking Australia off the top of the "most runs conceded" list while not making 500 the worst of all worlds

 

[vegster]

Nice to see our boy Phil Salt get among the runs ....oh.

Cameraperson (let's assume a male) did a fine job scanning the crowd when they played Uptown Girl over the speakers.

Thanks - I had looked there first but hadn’t seen it was a delayed start and they were showing T20 highlights.

12:45 start

 

[pasty]

Play started. Reduced to 41 overs.

Netherlands won toss and bat.

Good solid Dutch names for their two opening batsmen.
