West Indies vs Netherlands, 13th Match, Group B at Delhi, Feb 28 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary

hat-trick for Roach and he has six wickets! Superb spell this, the sheen barely taken off it by the fact that it came against a poor opposition. Fielders came in everywhere. Three slips I could see on the screen. A short leg in place. The odds of Westdijk surviving this were not very good. Roach got another vicious inducker in place. Landed it outside off stump and got it to curl in rapidly. Westdijk stayed on the crease and made a feeble attempt to stop it. No luck. Middle stump is flattened, and I think Roach will put it on his mantelpiece. Sixth hat-trick in World Cup cricket, and boy, it was a treat to watch!

and another. Will this be reviewed? Roach has got another lbw out of Taufel. And no, it is not being reviewed. He has five and is on a hat-trick. Well bowled Roachie. Fuller delivery this time, looking for the stumps and nipping in alarmingly. Loots did his best, he tried to cover the line with bat and pad, but the ball hit him on the shin in front of off. Loots looked bemused and consulted with Cooper and then went on his way without reviewing.

Seelaar is gone. Is it lbw or caught? For now it is out one way of the other. Huge inducker, came in at pace, and seemed in a hurry to hit Seelaar's optimistically outstretched pad. It thuds into the foam in front of middle. Lbw it is. It bubbles up to short leg, without taking bat on the way. Doesn't matter, Seelaar's fate sealed already.

slowish offcutter outside off, stays low as Cooper pushes it into the covers

short and wide outside off, Seelaar cracks the cut away through point for a single

full and wide outside off, Seelaar lets it go this time

even more width and it is cut away square for a single this time

more width outside off this time, a defensive push to backward point

back of a length outside off, stays back and forces it back down the ground

huge appeal for lbw and it is turned down. Not reviewed by the Windies. Roach got it to tail in from outside off, Seelaar seemed to get the front pad outside the line before the ball thudded into it. Replays awaited, I think it hit outside the line

143 kph, fired down the leg side at great pace and touches Seelaar on the way.

Roach has hit the stumps again. It's a sound strategy - fast and straight for the lower order batsman. Bukhari has played back too many times today, and he's cleaned up as one delivery stays a little low. He's played all over it and the stumps are splattered.

this time he middles the steer, and gets a single from outside off to deep backward point

Cooper has a fifty here, the lone oranje spot for the Dutch. Back of a length outside off, he tries to get besude the line and cut, and gets an under edge that scoots away to third man

Roach fires it in full and straight on leg stump and Bukhari digs it out to midwicket for a single

three for the over, Sammy has fluffed his lines completely, and he lands this one well outside leg stump. Easy runs for Cooper, skips inside the line and dinks it along behind square for four.

Cooper keeps going, another boundary as he skips with the front foot inside the line and flicks majestically through midwicket

Cooper survives a run-out chance, scrums it out to the covers and charges halfway before deciding to turn back. The throw came in and missed, he was well short. The keeper was not in position to collect.,

four more to Cooper, and again comes through an exquisite shot. Over-pitched outside off, he leans out and creams it through the covers. Everything about that shot looked so right.

Sammy gets one to nip away from back of a length, leaden-footed poke from Cooper, he doesn't make contact
