Are they more Dutch than the Dutch ?

[BoundaryRider84]

Stop bowling leg side mate!

[brod]

Poms 0/48 after 8
Strauss 19 (13)
KP 29 (35)

and finally a bowling change

[brod]

Prediction time guys..

My theory is its hard to chase in India and on these types of pitches the guys that take the pace off can do damage. As the dutch havnt got any genuine quicks i feel the poms will struggle against the slower bowling.
Im going for the poms all out for 275 for a memorable win to the Dutch.

True
RTD and Pakistani born Mudassar Bukhari are the only players rated as medium-fast

Are there any players actually playing for the country they were born in ?

Wasn't suggesting who had slowed down mate

[NFC]

Really hoping the Oranje can get up here but unfortunatly i think England will chase this down in the 47-48th over.

Pieterson opening the batting and hitting a 100 this pitch suits him perfectly.

England 6/293 (47.4)

Looking like a strong prediction atm.

[fish]

I almost fell over when I got home just now and saw the Netherlands score!

England are well on the way to reaching it though.

[NFC]

Bye bye KP!!

[CoverKing]

Pietersen out for 39 off 61 to a left arm spinner again.

Couple more quick wickets and game on

Yeah I got home not long ago either. I had IQ'd it, but I went on facebook and saw all these updates, so I thought stuff it, I'll just watch it live. Couldn't believe it when I saw the Dutch score, especially considering they were 152 runs after 34 overs before I went live.

Tom Cooper on to bowl for the Netherlands.

Has he ever bowled for the Redbacks ?

6 off his 1st over bowling offies

Yeah but not a great deal. Nearly had trott in his second over aswell

[Jim05]

Damn. England home with just 8 balls to spare.
Unless their form improves the decent sides will flog them

[gadj1976]

This match confirmed what I thought. Australia's form going into the world cup isn't that great.

Yes but it also confirmed that on flat decks englands attack is pedestrian. When the ball aint moving anderson and co are ordinary
