ICC Cricket World Cup Match, Group B: England v Netherlands at Nagpur, Feb 22, 2011

[CHAPPERS]

If you don't threaten the stumps at any point you're not going to take wickets.

 

[Titanic]

and a WASTED review... he clearly hit it.

 

[Titanic]

Anderson bowls a WILD beamer.

He's lost it.

 

[Simster]

It's frightfully funny to think that the Dutch might just reach 300 in this one. That'll probably add up to half the runs they score in this tournament.

I wouldn't put my mortgage on England to win the game either. I wonder what the in-play odds are?

 

[Titanic]

253-5 (46 overs)

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Be fair. We're not just playing Holland. We're playing the whole of the Netherlands.

Batting, batting Ryan.

I think we would struggle if we were playing the inhabitants of Neverland

 

[simmo]

Anderson bowls a WILD beamer.

He's lost it.

He's bowling with all the skill of a "Mitchell Johnson"

 

[spring hall convert]

This is going to be a tough ask on a slow track, whatever they get now. A couple of early wickets and England are under some serious pressure.

 

[Titanic]

A better over from Bresnan... just 6.

Trott drops a tough one off the last ball... big dive... tips it round the post.

259-5 (47 overs)

 

[Scotty Mac]

oh dear oh dear

 

[Jonno]

shocking

 

[Titanic]

Anderson's over goes for 15 including two fours flicked over short third man, and one straight back over his head

274-5 with two overs to go.

60 runs off the last 5. OUCH!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Is it wrong to be quite pleased for Holland?

 

[crodonilson]

I said before the tournament we would stink the place out, and as per the last four campaigns they're doing just that.

SEND THEM HOME NOW.

What a disgrace.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

I am glad they brought in Andersen to tidy things up!

 

[The Wizard]

Not good from England here, extremely poor lines and lengths

 

[CHAPPERS]

Why play Anderson on a pitch with no lateral movement in the one day game?

Still not bowling at the stumps, or to their fields. Shocking bowling display.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Fantastic innings

England are currently anywhere between 1/3 to a scrimpy 1/5. Holland are a best priced 10/3.

 

[Titanic]

You couldn't make this up.

WHAT A SHAMBLES.
