*Official* England in Netherlands (ODIs)

[Magrat Garlick]

Probably kinda pointless for England, yes, as if anyone cares about them.

Anyway showers and clouds around today. Might not get much play in due to the groundstaff being unpaid

 

[trundler]

A near full strength England against a weakened associates team is as pointless as it can get.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

it's just a fact of NL cricket that they never put the best possible team on the park, so they're never actually weakened

 

[Magrat Garlick]

well, at least they chose to bat today. And picked Kingma.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Woof. This could go pretty quickly...

 

[Prince EWS]

Pringle playing!!!

Bas to do something other than playing pretty drives straight to cover for once. Calling it now (in hope).

 

[Magrat Garlick]

thought they went a little too quickly past that ultraedge tbh

 

[Magrat Garlick]

and as for Bas unfortunately I reckon it's only a matter of time before he gets himself out

I'd love to see him play a four day game against a a Test team's A side or something. I reckon he might actually be good at that.

Hasn't figured out this strike rotation malarkey at all though and usually ends up doing something dumb out of frustration. I do have a weird feeling about today's innings though - hopefully he can at least get his average up to 18

 

[Prince EWS]

Shot!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

yikes

 

[Magrat Garlick]

some nice strike rotation now

 

[Magrat Garlick]

just FYI the Rijksmuseum is nowhere near the ground they just paid for an ad presumably

 

[Prince EWS]

Damn it Bas.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Carse's line going all kinds of places here

 

[Magrat Garlick]

forecast for hour and a half from now



they got really lucky today but I worry about the second innings (then again Buttler might just win it before the rain comes)

He's never overtly impressed me, not quite express pace, nor does he do much with the ball or particularly accurate. Actually reminds me of Plunkett mark1, hey if he improves to Plunkett mk2, that would be great, but not sure that happens that much.

 

[Howe_zat]

Perfectly respectable score, though it's hard to defend respectable on this ground I would think

Yeah absolutely no way he's RF lol.
