Ryan Ten Doeschate.... The Performer...!!!!

Tweet

Nether land's first match in the world cup, and they ended up scoring 292. Not a bad performance. But this was largely due to Ryan Ten Doeschate's century and England's fielding or lack of fielding...!!!! (:P). Doeschate was calmness personified during his innings of 119. He did survive a chance of the bowling of Swann. His dismissal was largely due to cramps. He bowled well too. Had he been in any other team, he would have been a much bigger star or an all rounder. The important feature of his innings was that, there were not too many boundaries hit. Yet he maintained a strike rate of more than run a ball. He was much talked about before the match began and he did not disappoint. Well Played Doeschate..!! England was lucky to win this match. Had it been any other experienced team, they would have ended up schasing around 350 or even more. Lucky that the Dutch team lacked experience. Their England bowling looked depleted and the fielding... Well let's not talk about it. Because there was nothing to talk about. England's batting was more experienced, so they were able to see through the match. The Dutch team in the end could not prevent the singles so they lost. Had they attacked more, may be they would have been in with a chance or may be they would have lost the match a little earlier. Since winning the Ashes, the England team has looked a bit out of sorts. I hope that they learn their lesson from this match; thank their stars, because they managed to win and, play well in the future...!!!! Share your views....!!!! Balu
