What an arsey prick he is.
As ever, dropped. And saved by umps. Again.

 

[HK_Hawk]

This is as bad as watching Starc bowl. The wides have been out of control

 

[MJG14]

Don't think I've seen a cricketer as lucky as Ben Stokes. It is astounding.

Of course he is not a spud but he has benefited from a great deal of luck at crucial times.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Was Stokes throwing gangster signs to the heavens there?

 

[HK_Hawk]

Why the farrkkk do the Dutch have the third man up at this stage????

 

[Scorpus]

England should win this easily from this position

A-frigging-men

 

[HK_Hawk]

Dutch have really blown this. They had a golden opportunity to really put pressure on the poms and just choked big time.

 

[HK_Hawk]

van BEEK and de Leede have been embarrassing tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Van Beek didnt bowl too well. Got intimidated by the batsman moving around his crease.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Am I the only one who thinks Stokes is massively overrated?

He had an amazing summer in 2019

But across a career - he’s nowhere near the elite cricketers of his era

 

[scottywiper]

Dutch lost plot late. Bowled horribly

 

[Sprout]

As bad as the bowling was in the final 10 overs, England have been gifted this one. Stokes would’ve been out if Erasmus did his job properly.

Erasmus. Job, Properly... never belong in the same sentence.

 

[NYRB]

Circumspect from Dutch early here.

 

[NYRB]

Thats some bragging rights right there..........

Did they show ball-tracking? I wasn't watching for a while. Poor decision from the third umpire if it was hitting the stumps.

I think England would have made comfortably enough regardless, tbh.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

These blokes do realise they need 7.5 an over basically right lol

 

[NYRB]

Commentator said Engelbrecht was working full time fitting in with his cricket committments.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Unlucky for England they couldn’t play the Dutch early to get some confidence

Looked a mile better lineup without Wiod playing too

 

[NYRB]

Theres a chance of rain Sri Lanka v New Zealand game tomorrow.

 

[ioppolo]

Have these two sides played each other in an ICC event since the Dutch beat England in the 2009 World T20 at Lord's?

They played in another world T20, either 2011 or 2013 where the Dutch also won.

As Maxwell said about his innings last night, when the opportunity presents itself its important to take advantage of those opportunities when they present.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

2 an over when you need 8?

Interesting tactic

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Theres a chance of rain Sri Lanka v New Zealand game tomorrow.

Plugger deserves it if they miss finals due to rain
