ICC Cricket World Cup, 2010/11 / Commentary

ICC Cricket World Cup - 37th match, Group B

Ireland v Netherlands

Ireland won by 6 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)

13.1

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, good start, full and straight and defended

13.2

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, driven hard to mid-on, Barresi's looking to be positive

13.3

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, almost! Flighted up bravely by Dockrell, the ball drifted in through the air and took a thick inside edge into the pad ... hands on head for the bowler

13.4

Dockrell to Barresi, FOUR, up and over mid-off! He was always going to have a go with the field up. Strong shot

13.5

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, tossed up again, defence this time

13.6

Dockrell to Barresi, 1 run, again he gives the bowler the charge, but Dockrell spots him coming and drags the length down ... Barrsi doesn't get to the pitch but lays bat on ball to pick up one to cover

Netherlands 76/3   GH Dockrell 1-0-5-0

15.1

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, no run, big appeal from Dockrell! That was hit on the pad but probably not straightening enough

15.2

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, no run, the bowler gives it some air again, ten Doeschate defends down the track

15.3

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, 1 run, tossed up on the toes, flicked to short fine leg

15.4

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, this is great stuff from Dockrell, real classical spin bowling with plenty of flight and guile. Barresi bends into a slog sweep, lays nothing on it

15.5

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, full, cracked very hard back at the bowler, along the ground

15.6

Dockrell to Barresi, 1 run, Barresi shuffles down and nudges the ball behind square on the leg side for another single

Netherlands 84/3   GH Dockrell 2-0-7-0

17.1

Dockrell to Barresi, no run, ooh, that could so easily have snuck through! Off the inside half of the bat and into the leg side

17.2

Dockrell to Barresi, 1 run, down the track, this time he beats the straight midwicket for one

17.3

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, 1 run, punched hard down the ground, and straight too ... just the one though

17.4

Dockrell to Barresi, FOUR, swept with tremendous power out to deep midwicket! The ball was looped up again, and this time he middled the shot. There were men at long on and deep square ... and now they're plugging the gap at midwicket too

17.5

Dockrell to Barresi, no run

17.6

Dockrell to Barresi, no run

Netherlands 93/3   GH Dockrell 3-0-13-0

19.1

19.2

Dockrell to Barresi, 1 run, worked away behind square off the front foot

19.3

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, no run, charged out of the crease, Dockrell saq him coming and held back his length, defended into the off side

19.4

Dockrell to ten Doeschate, no run, pushed back towards the bowler, Dockrell dives to his right, he's in some pain now

Netherlands 104/3   GH Dockrell 3.4-0-15-0
