20/20 World Cup Day 5 - Holland v Pakistan, New Zealand v S Africa disscussion thread

KevIRL

Big big game for the Dutch, can they keep their wits about themselves, and at the very worst keep it tight against Pakistan. I think they will lose but still make the Super 8's

The other game is a dead rubber, with both teams through and pretty meanginless, NZ will be hoping in particular to get a full game under their belt before the Super 8's.

All in all it should be a good less heartstopping when compared to today!

Well I was planning on having a bet on S.Africa, surely they will both put efforts in, due to rivalry?,

maybe just stick with top runscorer,


B McCullum @ 3/1
Smith @ 10/3
AB De Villiers @ 7/2,

so many choices...

I wouldnt back McCullum.

What odds on Gayle?
Probably not worth a punt....

good start by holland

Pakistan are effectively 38/1 after 7.3 if they can keep pakistan to 160 - 170 you have to favour them to qualify

D3PO

excellent job restricting the RR by holland you have to be wary of the number of wickets left. pakistan could really tee off after 15 unless they can get a few more

pakistan effectively 75/3 after 13

Toight, toight loike a toiger...

I'm thinking sub 170 for the Pakistan team won't be enough since the Netherlands simply need to come within 20-odd of that total to progress.

Next wicket starts the fall of the tail IMO.

D3PO

the target is 24 run defeat or less lee.

essentiall that puts pakistan on 91/3 with 5 overs left fair to assume holland will need in and around 140 to qualify from here.

you would make them favourites to do that.

lee_arama

Whoops. Ok so. Yes, The Netherlands are under the kosh so.

Here's hoping nonetheless. Would be great to see them in the Super 8s.

You'd feel sorry for the Aussie backers too eh?

3 overs left, 139-3. A couple of big overs like SL's last over against us could do it.

There's 2 sixes off the 17th over. 152-3. A few more of those and they're good.

I never feel sorry for the Aussies losing in sports. They're always cocky as fsck going in

D3PO

151 needed to qualify a smidge over 7.5 an over.

its say this is in the balance now. i really hope the dutch can do this !!

Royale with Cheese

151 for the Netherlands to go through.

D3PO

great start by reekers

damn i put the curse on him :eek:

D3PO

theres 2 are letting it slip a little they need to up the rate plodding along at 4.25 an over for the last 4 just isnt gonna cut it.

wickets are valuable but so are dot balls and there are far too many of em right now.

D3PO

you would have to make it very long odds for Holland to qualify from this posiotion.

they have made a complete hash of it

D3PO

98 needed off 10 with 6 wickets left.

no chance. looks like w eget anothe rcrack at upsetting pakistan in a world cup

AnimalRights

That fcking Pakistani wicket keeper has given me a poxy headache with his repetitive screaming. :mad:

Royale with Cheese

6 down now. I think some people were seriously underestimating the task facing the Netherlands.

Yes. Pakistan usually play well when they put money on themselves for a change!

Tomorrow he is 9/4 for the game or for the whole tournament for his team, he is 1/2,

2k on gets you 1 back, if I had that money, I could be tempted heh,

Think I'll just put a few on N O Brien @ 7/2 tomorrow...
