Norway thrashed by rampant Dutch

It won't carry much weight in the record books, but Netherlands inflicted a monstrous defeat on Norway after piling up an incredible 474 in their 50 overs at North County

It won't carry much weight in the record books, but Netherlands inflicted a monstrous defeat on Norway after piling up an incredible 474 in their 50 overs at North County. Norway were then humbled for 104, as Netherlands registered a 370-run victory to bounce back from their shock loss to Italy. It was runs galore from the Dutch as Darren Reekers collected 196, adding 290 for the first wicket with Tim de Grooth. Reekers' century came off 58 balls while de Grooth fell four runs short of his century.
