Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Match start scheduled for 0800 GMT (10:00 local)

       Good Morning to one and all wherever you may be in the world and
        welcome to our live coverage of Holland vs Pakistan
       Toss is about to take place with the two Captains and the match
        referee out in the middle
       Waqar tosses and Lefebvre calls heads
       Heads it is and Roland decides they will take the field
       Waqar is unsure and is happy to have lost the toss but would
        probably have batted
       Says they need to win all the remaining matches but this World Cup
        has been unpredictable and anything can still happen
        Pakistanin team is Taufeeq Umar, Saeed Anwar, Abdur Razzaq, Saleem
        Elahi, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Yousuf Youhana, +Rashid Latif, Wasim Akram,
        Saqlain Mushtaq, *Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami is
        12th man
        Netherlands team is LP van Troost, NA Statham, B Zuiderent, KJJ
        van Noortwijk, TBM de Leede, DLS van Bunge, HJC Mol, JJ Esmeijer,
        *RP Lefebvre, E Schiferli, +J Smits and RG Nijman as 12th
       Word is that Younis Khan is not playing today because of an injury
        he picked up in the game vs England at Newlands
       He spiked himself in the right ankle while fielding and had to
        receive three stitches
       The injury is not serious and he will be available for selection
        against India at Centurion on March the 1st
       Wicket seems to have a bit of grass on it which is likely to assist
        the bowlers to start
       Expected highs of 36 degrees celcius expect with hardly a breath of
        wind
       No doubt the Netherlands will be looking to use any help from the
        pitch to put pressure on the Pakistani batsmen early on
       Taufeeq will take first strike to Schiferli
       Everyone is ready and the bowler is on his way
   0.1 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, drives firmly on the bounce back
        to the bowler, positive shot as he got nicely into line
   0.2 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, good foot movement defending
        into the covers
   0.3 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, too close to cut finds a bottom
        edge into the ground outside off and rolls towards the keeper
   0.4 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, legside runs off the pads to
        Esmeijer at square leg
   0.5 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, clips off his toes to Esmeijer
        who is slightly fwd of the square leg umpire and moved across
        quickly to cut it off
   0.6 Schiferli to Taufeeq Umar, no run, a Damsel to start as he leaves
        and watches it into the gloves of Smits
