England vs Netherlands Highlights – T20 World Cup 1st Match
England Bat
Netherlands Bat
Watch cricket highlights – England vs Netherlands – the 1st match of the 2009 T20 Cricket World Cup.
Scoreline: England 162/5 – Luke Wright 71 (49), Ravi Bopara 46 (34).
Netherlands win off the last ball – de Grooth 49 (30) – James Anderson 4-23-3
The country that gave the world the concept of Total Football played a type of cricket that was total (while batting) in contrast to that shown by England. Batting obviously seems Netherlands’ strength and while their bowling was steady, England actually played well in the 1st 10 overs (90) to set up what should have been a 180+ total. However, what instead came was an insipid performance with batsmen coming and going but no one really looking like they were the ones going to launch. KP’s absence was most felt when the man replacing him, Robert Key walked out. I suppose the only time you’d feel a sense of hope with Key would be if he were on the other side of a bakery counter.
13 of England’s 14 boundaries came from Wright-Bopara with no sixes, while the Dutch had 4 sixes and 12 boundaries spread around. de Grooth was central but every one of their batsmen showed intent – from the Philo-Wallace-hark-back Reekers to No 7 Bunge, Netherlands despite the last ball finish had the game in total control during their knock. Only their limited international experience made this a finalballer as Harsha Bhogle railed on and on exactly as he’d done years back when Yuvraj-Kaif won the Nat West final – will the fear of winning get them, cricket doesn’t feature romantic stories and so on.
Pregame: So host country England kick off things against an unfamiliar (personally) Netherlands side – didn’t catch any of their warm up games, but Dirk Nannes is there and unless he shifts into the downside of his famed yo-yo mode, the current England team that can be shaky at times in T20 cricket could provide a tight game. Update: KP misses this game apparently cos of some tendon thing.
All perusals of the teams competing this season would tilt the Cup towards India, Australia, SA and Pakistan/Sri Lanka. But personally, I’m thinking maybe New Zealand might just sneak out with this one and it has nothing to do with the fact that NZ beat India in the warm-up game.

most irritating highlights I’ve ever seen . stops every 5 seconds. Whats the point of showing when you can’t produce the stream properly Dumb f**kers
thnx dude for posting the matches
continue ur good work, i always visit ur website after every match
@san: Ok. Will refer your well-spotted issue to Sapo, the video host.
However, the only stream I produce – I’d gladly empty that onto your face in a golden shower.
san, click pause till it’s loaded.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS! GREAT SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there, one legitimate issue, the video size is really small. Before the sapo videos occupied about 10cm by 10cm, now its like 4×5. Any idea why this is?
Not sure – the dimensions at my end are 620 by 540 – the standard size always used here. Perhaps something to do with your browser or display settings
oh nice
thanks mate, good work, keep uploading further games as well.
Fair enough, It must be something to do with my browser.
You do a great job, there’s no other way I’d be able to watch cricket, I am super grateful!!
lmao, nice edit at the end of the england innings. poor guy rob key
Great job admin. Go Netherlands!
Someone please tell the commentators how to pronounce Dutch surnames… some of the South Africans are going to get their names mangled too…
Funny!! Elephant sound for Robert Key!!
epic epic epic. absolutely epic!
england no real skills shown in game..only big name but not quite there yet..they havent seen big team yet…good luck england
good exelent netland!
shame on england…uuuuuu
@hrahmanace yah ur team india can win it if they go to second round…to do that they have to make sure that they defeat ireland coz 2moro is gonna be the big show..2007 world cup was just a trailor mate..i hope u know wht i m talking abt….
hahahahahhahahaa…..can’t believe it…XDXDXDXDXDXD
thanks so much for the highlights
Thanks
@S Hyder … You really think India is going to loose to Ireland, hahahahahahahaha….
The lesson to be learnt: Never underestimate any team. Cricket is a very fundamental game. Once you bowl straight field well, restrict runs you should be able to chase down a decent score.
England have had their pain
India and Pakistan had their pain in 2007 Vs Bangladesh and Ireland respectively, In 2003 Sri Lanka Vs Kenya and In 1996: West Indies Vs Kenya
All the teams had better be cautious when playing Associate nations in this high stakes virtual knockout tournament. I am sure India has their 2007 encounter on the back of their minds when they face Bangladesh
today india loss. i am sure.
firstly ty for the highlights….secondly to all those assholes who whine with regards to the highlights….”MAY U GET SWINE FLU”….n….”YOU PEOPLE ARE A WASTE OF OXYGEN”….thank you,hey admin dude why dont you retaliate…give them a taste of their own medicine….they need a good spanking….LoL

Great new player with full screen option Admin, you do an excellent job….thanks.. and as previosusly suggested, to nutters like “san” just one thing to say….think before you type you gooses.

good job man… quality highlights…..keep it going
Hey Admin,
Really Appreciate your posting of these highlights. Its been a delight. I could not watch these matches live, but still it was great watching these highlights. England must be cursing themselves. The british media will not pardon them. Netherlands played well and had luck on their side. Sorry for those who wanted India to lose against Bangladesh. May their dreams come true when Bangladesh plays Ireland. Australia too were based by the GAYLE STORM. It was pure delight to watch Gayle destroy Brett Lee and Co.
Thanks Admin again for bringing these quality highlights.
