[Cricket] #4: Oranje tegen de grote jongens

quote:

And that's the close. Australia's day. They skittled England's lower order and now trail by 200 with seven wickets in hand. Steven Smith has looked superb today. England's bowlers worked hard but lacked a cutting edge. Craig Overton's first spell was excellent as he struck twice but then had an injury cloud over him. Overall, though, they remain in the contest. Still, how crucial will the latest lower order demise prove? Questions will be asked about a couple of the shots played. Concerns, too, over Stuart Broad's bowling? Much to ponder. Australia had the day they needed, but things can change. England need to get past Smith (or maybe all the other Australian batsmen!). We'll have plenty more reaction on the site over the next few hours but for now, from Gnasher, Alan and Devia it's goodbye and see you tomorrow.

quote:

5.58pm Mitchell Marsh: "It was a great day for Australia. It's really special to make a hundred in front of my parents and grandparents, they aren't allowed to move while I'm batting..." Gosh, a tough day for the family. Hope the dunnies weren't too packed at the close...

Robert Crichton: "Smith should declare overnight for the simple reason that 229 is the lowest individual score never achieved by a batter in a completed Test innings!" This is the most compelling argument I have ever heard. Won't somebody think of the stats!

Talking of the close, don't forget to have a read of Brydon Coverdale's match report before you go, and remember to tune back in later for all the updates from our team at the WACA - George Dobell, Daniel Brettig and Melinda Farrell. From all of us at Cricinfo, good morning/night, and see you tomorrow.

5.55pm "We've had opportunities, we've not been good enough to take them," admits Paul Farbrace, England's assistant coach. "We think we worked hard today, but we haven't got that extra pace that the Aussies have got, and we haven't got that magical spin..." He's not wrong...

5.49pm Sivareddy kalla: "On this day last year karun Nair turned his maiden century to 300 ,will marsh repeat the same tomorrow." Well, well. Now there's a spot. And a timely reminder of England's overseas struggles. They lack bite on pitches that don't move sideways...

If you are in the UK, and can bear any more misery on this cold, cold December morning, here's a clip of Smith reaching his hundred, courtesy of BT Sport. Or, alternatively, here's a glimpse at my wife's gin collection, which might be more palatable viewing.

5.46pm What a brutal day of Test cricket, dominated by two humungous hundreds from Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh. They are undefeated in a 301-run stand, and Australia's lead is already an ominous 146. There is the threat of rain tomorrow, but you suspect, two more sessions of Australian accumulation, before England begin the long haul to salvage a draw, and a chance (yes, a chance) of retaining the Ashes with back-to-back wins at Melbourne and Sydney. But, yeah, let's get real. This one is cooked!

quote:

5.18pm: Play has been abandoned, they've thrown in the (sopping wet) towel. That was rather abrupt, but the scenes were quite biblical during that first interruption. So, England's dream survives, at least for one more night... and the forecast is more than a little iffy for tomorrow, too. If they do get out, England face a huge task to save the game, having only got halfway to wiping out a deficit of 259, for the loss of four wickets. Can Malan and Bairstow rescue them again? Or will the rain gods intercede to keep the Ashes burning until Melbourne? We'll find out in the morning; for now, I'll leave you with Brydon's report and our thanks for your contributions. If you just can't get enough, India and Sri Lanka are playing on loop, but from myself, Miller and Varun, it's goodbye for now.

The Netherlands chances of securing a berth at the 2020 World Cup have received a major blow with the news that experienced opening batsman Stephan Myburgh will return home from South Africa with an ankle injury that requires surgery.

Myburgh injured his ankle at training four weeks ago and was hopeful of being fit for the first match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers on March 4 against Ireland. Dutch physio Evan Speechly was not happy with his response to treatment and sent him for a scan in South Africa that confirmed the worse. Speechly said the recovery time from surgery would take at least 6-8 weeks, ruling him out of the Qualifiers.
The opener will be replaced in the squad by 18 year old Bas de Leede, who has spent the last two months at the Gary Kirsten Cricket Academy in Cape Town. He will join the team for the last practice match in South Africa, before leaving for Zimbabwe on Friday February 23.

Head Coach Ryan Campbell: “It’s not ideal that’s for sure, losing someone of Stef’s talent and experience is never great and I’m sure we will miss him. In saying that, we keep saying that the depth of our squad has improved and this will provide not only Bas a great opportunity, but also the likes of Max O’Dowd the chance to step up and grab their chance at the top of the order”.

The Netherlands team will play two warm up matches in Zimbabwe against Hong Kong (27 February) and Afghanistan (1 March), before taking on the Irish in their opening match on March 4.

4.34pm As Seelaar goes off, the groundstaff comes sprinting out with the covers. May start to bucket down any time now, and if how dar those clouds are looking is anything to go by, we may not be back at all. It has started drizzling now. Before the Seelaar wicket, they were 34 runs behind the DLS par score. They are now 54 behind There's flashes of lightning and it all looks a little too dark now.

Debendra Subedi: "What happened if any bowl can't be delivered from this point?? Can netherlands go up in super six?? We are watching from Nepal ." Five teams are through. The sixth spot is a tussle between Netherlands and UAE. If Netherlands win, they are through; if they lose, UAE progress.

Paul-E: "Not sure Afghanistan cricket team deserves to go to super sixes in this tournament. They lost all 3 high profile matches and scraped through because of help from other teams and also due to not-so-well-designed qualification process. Why we can't have top 2 teams from each team play the semi finals instead of this needless and lengthy super sixes format? I don't support any teams in this tournament and voiced my opinion as a cricket enthusiast."

quote:

5.08pm All over, folks! It seems as though the rain has refused to relent. West Indies have won the match. As a result, Netherlands are out of the tournament and UAE seal the final Super Six spot. To think what Netherlands could have done but for that Barresi run out. He chanced the arm of Evin Lewis, whose rocket throw from the deep caught the batsman short of his crease and sent Netherlands into a collapse. Until then, they were very much in the hunt with a burgeoning third-wicket stand. It's these small moments that more often than not seal your fate in cricket. West Indies capitalised on that opening with a brilliant piece of fielding. As for Netherlands, they have paid the ultimate price for that slip-up.

Nieuwegein, 3 April 2018 - The Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) today has announced that it will host the national teams from Scotland and Ireland for a T20I Tri Series in the summer of 2018

The tournament will take place from 12 – 20 June. This tournament will become an annual event between three of the strongest European cricket countries

Ryan Campbell, the Netherlands coach states: “I am so excited about the announcement of this Annual Tri-Series T20 event with Ireland and Scotland. I believe the three teams are evenly matched and the opportunity to play against our neighbours more often is something that we’ve been trying to put together for some time now. The matches will be action packed and this will be our first steps in preparation for the 2019 World T20 Qualifiers.”
Grant Bradburn, Scotland head coach added: “It will be great to continue a busy year of cricket on the back of a Dubai tri-series, the World Cup qualifier in Zimbabwe and our own three summer internationals against England and Pakistan. We always have hard-fought games against both Ireland and Netherlands and we are grateful to our Dutch neighbours for hosting this exciting event in this format.”
Graham Ford, Ireland Men’s Head Coach - “The announcement of the International T20 Tri-series is great news! We already have a busy and very exciting summer of cricket ahead of us. T20 cricket is such an enjoyable, intriguing and unpredictable product, and a series between these three very evenly matched teams promises to be extremely exciting. It is also an ideal opportunity for the Irish lads to sharpen their T20 skills ahead of the two International T20’s against India in late June.”

Nieuwegein, 19 april 2018 – Vandaag heeft de Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB) aangekondigd dat de captain van het Nederlandse cricketteam Peter Borren zal stoppen met internationaal cricket. Tegelijkertijd is Pieter Seelaar aangesteld als nieuwe captain van het Nederlandse team en Jeroen Smits als teammanager.

Na de WK-kwalificatiewedstrijden in Zimbabwe heeft de KNCB overleg gevoerd over de voorbereiding van het nationale team op het T20 Wereldbeker kwalificatietoernooi (Q4 2019) en het ODI Championship (2020-2022). Als resultaat van dit overleg, zijn de KNCB en Peter Borren samen overeengekomen dat Borren als captain zal aftreden en niet meer beschikbaar is als speler voor het Nederlands Team.

Peter Borren is van onschatbare waarde geweest voor het Nederlandse team en leidde het team de afgelopen negen jaar. In die periode is het Nederlandse team uitgegroeid tot een veel professioneler elftal, resulterend in het winnen van de World Cricket League en de kwalificatie voor het ODI Championship in december 2017. Met zijn inspirerende leiderschap heeft Peter een meer dan belangrijke rol gespeeld in dit succes. De KNCB is hem erg dankbaar en zal een passend moment vinden om hem te bedanken voor zijn fantastische bijdrage aan het cricket, niet alleen als captain, maar ook als speler en ambassadeur van het Nederlandse cricket.

Pieter Seelaar is aangesteld als nieuwe aanvoerder van het Nederlands XI. Sinds 2005 is Seelaar een vast lid van het Nederlandse team en heeft hij zijn capaciteiten op het gebied van leiderschap getoond.

Wat betreft het teammanagement is de KNCB verheugd aan te kondigen dat Jeroen Smits is aangesteld als nieuwe teammanager. Als voormalig aanvoerder van het Nederlandse team en Chairman of Selectors, en met zijn grondige kennis van de internationale cricketwereld, is Jeroen de aangewezen man om deze functie van (interim) manager van Rob Kemming over te nemen.
Vanzelfsprekend is de KNCB zeer dankbaar voor alles wat Kemming heeft gedaan. Kemming is al bijna 20 jaar bij de KNCB betrokken in verschillende functies en hoewel zijn functie als teammanager nu eindigt, zijn we verheugd dat Kemming betrokken zal blijven bij de KNCB-organisatie.

Afghanistan's cricket team claimed a historic first Test win on Monday as they beat Ireland by seven wickets.

Rahmat Shah and Ihsanullah Janat scored fifties for the war-torn country as they chased down 147 for victory on day four in Dehradun, India.

Afghanistan were steered to their target by a 139-run partnership between Shah, who made 76, and debutant Janat, who hit an unbeaten 65.

Shah, a top-order batsman, registered his second fifty of the match after making 98 in Afghanistan's first innings score of 314.

With three needed to win, Afghanistan lost Shah and then Mohammad Nabi in successive deliveries before Hashmatullah Shahidi came to the crease and hit the winning boundary to trigger celebrations in the Afghanistan camp.

Ace spinner Rashid Khan, who is second in the ICC one-day international rankings, had played a key role in the historic win by taking five wickets on Sunday's day three to help dismiss Ireland for 288 in their second innings.

Khan returned career-best figures of five for 82 to stall Ireland's resurgence after Andy Balbirnie and Kevin O'Brien had hit gritty half-centuries.

Balbirnie made 82 and O'Brien 56 before a 10th-wicket 58-run partnership between James Cameron-Dow and Tim Murtagh set up the potentially tricky chase for the Afghans.

Spinner Andy McBrine had opener Mohammad Shahzad caught behind for two in the final session on day three before Janat and Shah played out the last few overs.

The overnight batsmen were tested by the Ireland bowlers early in Monday's morning session with Janat surviving a reprieve on 18.

Stuart Thompson spilled an easy catch at extra cover off George Dockrell and Janat cashed in alongside the in-form Shah.

Paceman Yamin Ahmadzai and spinner Mohammad Nabi took three wickets each on the opening day to bowl out Ireland for 172.

Shah and skipper Asghar Afghan, who made 67 to steer their team to a crucial first-innings lead of 142.

For Ireland Tim Murtagh stood out with scores of 54 not out and 27 batting at number 11.

It was Afghanistan's second Test outing after making their debut last year when they lost to India inside two days in Bangalore. Ireland have also played two five-day games.

Some numbers...
England's 4-7 managed a total of 52 runs in this Test - their worst since 1987, 3rd worst since 1914.

quote:

Nederland kwam goed uit de startblokken nadat het door Ierland aan bat was gestuurd in de eerste wedstrijd van de 5-Nations series. Het wicket van Tobias Visée 9(4) in de 2e over bracht Ben Cooper naar het midden. Samen met Max O'Dowd zette hij een partnership van 50 runs voor het tweede wicket neer. Beide batsmen verkeerden wederom in uitstekende vorm en er moest een zeer scherpe fieldingactie van Ierland aan te pas komen om O'Dowd 38(23) in te kunnen rekenen. Bij een stand van 69-2 in 7 kwam de voor Nederland debuterende Colin Ackermann in. Hij ondersteunde de meer agressief spelende Cooper uitstekend en samen bouwden ze een prima platform voor een sterke finish. Een aantal snelle wickets en gecontroleerd bowlen bracht de run rate echter omlaag en na 20 overs stonden er 167 runs voor 7 op het bord, Nederland had na een sterke start ongetwijfeld op meer gehoopt. Naast O'Dowd kwamen Ackermann 27(21), Cooper 65(45) en Roelof van der Merwe 22*(20) tot mooie scores voor Oranje.

Ierland had vervolgens 18.2 overs nodig om het totaal van Nederland te passeren voor het verlies van vier wickets. De Nederlandse bowlers gaven weinig weg maar konden niet voorkomen dat alle Ierse batters in de dubbele cijfers eindigden. De wickets werden verdeeld tussen Shane Snater 2-21/3, Paul van Meekeren 1-26/3.2 and Pieter Seelaar 1-28/3.

Coach Ryan Campbell: "It's a disappointing result against an excellent Ireland outfit. We were in the game and had our chances to drive home the advantage, but hats off to the Irish bowlers in the back end. Excellent from Ben Cooper. We will bounce back tomorrow against Nepal."

Scores

Blessure
Nederland moet het voor de overige wedstrijden van de 5-Nations series wellicht doen zonder de in goede vorm verkerende Ben Cooper. Cooper raakte geblesseerd aan zijn enkel toen hij tijdens het fielden op het boundary touw landde. Röntgenfoto's lieten geen breuk zien, maar verder onderzoek zal uit moeten wijzen hoe ernstig de aard van de blessure is.
