Cricket LIVE update - England v Netherlands, Ryan ten Doeschate scores a fiery ton
Netherland’s middle order batsman Ryan ten Doeschate has scored a blazing ton against England in a group ‘B’ fixture of the ICC World Cup 2011. He scored 119 runs off only 110 balls with the help of 9 fours and 3 massive sixes. Due to his magnificent effort, Netherlands has posted a very competitive total of 292 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the allotted 50 overs of their innings.
Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat first on a flat track of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vidarbha-c860r. It turned out to be a great decision as the Dutch were off to a good start and scored their runs at a brisk pace.
At one stage, Netherlands were in a spot of worry with two wickets down for just 58 runs on the board before Doeschate took control of the situation and played a splendid knock, which could turn out to be a match winning one. He played many extraordinary shots against world class bowlers like James Anderson and Graeme Swan to prove his mettle at the highest stage of the game.
Before this match, Ryan has played 27 One Day Internationals for his country in which he has scored 1353 runs with a stunning average of 71.21 which is a huge sign that he is a class player. On top of that, his century against the English team is the fourth of his small yet prolific career. It is also a sign of many more to come in the future.
Doeschate has played domestic cricket in England, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854 and Western Province.
Doeschates valiant efforts ensured that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753 succeed in putting up a mammoth total on the board and an equally impressive performance with the bowl can result in the first major upset of the ICC World Cup 2011.
English bowling performance against the Dutch is definitely going to raise more concerns for Andy Flower as they are bound to face a tougher time against stronger oppositions in group ‘B‘ like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. On the other hand, chasing a huge total against Netherlands could be a test of the English batting.
