Match of the tournament. Expecting a sell out.

Agent Nationaux · 17-03-2011, 11:42 AM

This is going to be a great match. These two teams have performed well and look evenly matched.

If Ireland hadn't messed up that easy chase against Bangladesh, this match would have a lot more meaning, as Ireland would have had a realistic chance of qualifying for the quarters. Ireland are the stronger side on paper : better bowling and arguably better batting, as well. I'd like to see Netherlands win tomorrow, because those poor dudes have no wins to show for their efforts. Ireland have that brilliant win against England.

Whatever happens tomorrow, both these sides can feel very proud of themselves, and both these sides should be part of the next World Cup.

Agent Nationaux · 17-03-2011, 01:02 PM

Yeah, agree with you Blaze, both of these sides deserve to be in the next world cup. They have worked really hard to achieve what they have. My low opinion of the ICC would be furthur dented if they don't let them compete next time.

marc71178 · 17-03-2011, 05:14 PM

They are giving them a chance though aren't they?

outbreak · 17-03-2011, 06:44 PM

Assuming Zimbabwe return to test cricket and aren't considered an associate then if there's only 10 sides in the next world cup neither of these teams have a chance do they?

marc71178 · 17-03-2011, 06:48 PM

Depends how the 10 are picked. I would suspect there'll be some form of qualifying Tournament for say 8 teams to take 2 or 3 spots.

Quaggas · 17-03-2011, 10:04 PM

Tough one to choose. The Irish are so damn likable, but for some reason that completely escapes me, I'll have to go with supporting the Dutch.

Get the feeling this game could be over pretty quickly.

Quaggas · 17-03-2011, 10:50 PM

Should move the final to Eden Gardens - great pitch.

vcs · 17-03-2011, 11:35 PM

Netherlands going well here.. 105/3 in 20 overs.

Quaggas · 18-03-2011, 12:04 AM

RTD, well played

Still playing.

RTD just gone past what he averages in ODI cricket, 68! Amla's record of fastest to 2000 ODI runs looks in some doubt.

BoyBrumby · 18-03-2011, 12:44 AM

Dutch should canter to 300 here.

200 up off 36.2 overs. Irish need one of these out ASAP.
