Netherlands ripping Namibia apart!

[Kenny_01]

Netherlands are set for a score of over 300.

After 43 and a half overs, they are 252/2, and the current partnership is worth 227. Both have centuries.

I have been impressed with Holland's attitude towards this tournament. They have approached their matches with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn from experience and playing against the better teams... full credit to them.

314 in the end.

300 is a sure thing now. 299/4 after 48.4 overs.

Namibia 2/148 after 27 overs. This reminds me of the Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka game in 1992 when Zimbabwe made 312 but still lost.

Agree, Holland have been the best of the 3 qualifiers and a long way ahead of Bangladesh.
If the ICC wanted to spend development money wisely in Holland, they should do something to try and fund their entry into the Pommy 2nd division one day league, ala what Scotland are doing. Would do wonders for them, and it couldn't cost that much with the right fixturing, Amsterdam is only a hop skip and jump away from England. They are badly lacking in top flight experience, which the Pommy league could give them, with a very liberal definition of the term 'top flight'.

trouble now. namibia haven't really been pushing the RRR down.

6/214 off 41 overs, having lost 3/4 in 8 balls.

MOTM looks obvious.
