Really poor performance so far.

Who is this Craig Ervine muppet ?

At least Matsi anchored the innings. If Vusi had stuck with him it would have been different.

What role are they defining for him? Or did he suffer some freak injury again?
He only bowled 3 overs and the ball was thrown to Mutizwa late in the innings, so maybe it is an injury.

6/119, it will be a commendable win if they are able to come back from here.

...and here comes Williams, finally. 125/7 - 70 more required with 3 wickets in hand.

Yeah, they just changed it - originally listed Williams.

Would have thought they'd be hard to confuse..!

This is a bad performance. Matsi scored too slowly from the outset and Ervine just dropped anchor and stopped scoring. This isn't even a full strength Netherlands team.

ervine performance is a joke. Matsi had right attitude at the start but needed a faster scorer to stop with him.

There are no excuses for this appalling performance. The bowlers can be happy with their performances, but of the batsmen only Coventry could look back at his innings and not hang his head in shame.

Williams listed at "absent hurt", Netherlands win by 58 runs.

Absolutely woeful.

well netherlands beat bangladesh but this was pathetic. sean williams once again suffers an injury. i feel so sorry for him. so much talent but it looks like he will never get a chance to fulfill it.
