The Netherlands have qualified for the word cup. They needed 93 in 9 overs to qualify ahead of Scotland and did it in about 6 due to a ton from Bas de Leede.

Carey dropped by Root!

 

[Mel Evo]

Unbelievable this.

 

[Sniffer]

..and then Root catches Head.

 

[Mel Evo]

Still unbelievable, but in a nicer way!

 

[Sniffer]

Starc gone - Wood should rip through this tail.

 

[Sniffer]

Cummins gone. LBW Wood

 

[Carrotdude]

Sensational from Wood here

 

[Tredman]

Ouch.

 

[Sniffer]

Carey gone. Wood again

With the missed chances, the Aussies shouldn't have got near 200 so it is still a below par effort.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wait till we bat before calling that, as always.

 

[Del Woppio]

That's what happens when you have a wicket keeper

 

[Del Woppio]

Ugh

 

[Jinky]

And this is why I was reluctant to get too carried away with our bowling performance.

Wood ripped through their tail end, but they are ripping through our openers.

We need a big innings from Root because Cummings & Starc have got us wafting at everything.

Yes at 85-4 with their four best batsmen out should have been 200 - 220 maximum.

Wish you hasn't said this. Par about 200, then

I think we’ve missed an opportunity today we really should’ve skittled them for about 130-150 at most. We’d be beyond that already and full of confidence.
As it stands Australia have the edge just, Just watching highlights and Woods bowling is some of fastest I’ve ever seen probably not far off Akhtar levels.

 

[Doctor Doog]

Any thoughts on the spirit of cricket Bears?

 

[Sniffer]

Should’ve called him back.
