England vs. Netherlands - ICC World Cup 2011 match preview



After exuberantly cherishing their 3-2 Ashes win, suffering a 1-6 One Day International (ODI) series drubbing, and maligning their hectic FTP (Future Tour Programme) and lengthy World Cup schedule, England’s cricket team are all set to kick off their ICC 2011 World Cup campaign.

The Poms will take on the Netherlands tomorrow at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha in Nagpur.

England will experiment their roaring gun, Kevin Pietersen, as an opener in what would be a mismatched World Cup game.

The South Africa-born attacking batsman is the best natural stroke player in England’s squad.The 30-year old Natal batsman is well capable of batting 50-overs on his day.

There isn't much to compare when it comes to the performance of both sides in the past as England is one of the World Cup favourites, while Peter Borren’s side stands among the tournament outsiders.

But England must have their 4-wicket mauling at the hands of Oranje brigade in the 2009 World Twenty20 Championship opener at Lord’s on their minds.

Strauss himself said that they would not take Holland as an easy opposition.

"It underlines the point that you can't under-estimate sides like Holland” said the England captain on Monday. "If we are 10 per cent off and they have a good day, we are in trouble", he added.

Six players, who played were part of that Twenty20 triumphant squad, including, Peter Borren, Bas Zuiderent, Pietar Seelaar, Alex Kerevezee, Ryan ten Doeschate and Tom de Grooth, are also part of this time’s World Cup squad and must be eager to emulate their World Twenty20 showing in the 50-overs mega event.

The focus of the World Twenty20 champions would, undoubtedly, be on their star batsman, KP (Kevin Pietersen), who would be seen in a new position, as opener with captain, Andrew Strauss.

The damage that the Natal-born batsman can cause to any bowling attack during restrictions could be nastiest nightmare a bowler could have. And he would obviously be hoping to exploit fielding restrictions in the power-plays.

While England will be missing the likes of Eion Morgan, who was ruled out of the World Cup squad with an injured finger just a week before the esteemed event, a lot would depend on how Paul Collingwood, Ian Bell, Matt Prior and Ravi Bopara perform in the middle overs.

England are expected to field the same playing XI, which featured in the warm-up games except for off-spinner Graeme Swann, who is likely to replace Michael Yardy.

The Stuart Broad spearheaded pace brigade would include Tim Bresnan and James Anderson.

To Netherlands, the only injury concern is their regular skipper, Peter Borren, battling a side strain. If Borren fails to prove fitness on Tuesday morning, he would be replaced by Bas Zuiderent as stand-in captain.

In Borren’s absence much would depend on the all-round prowess of Ryan ten Doeschate. Tom de Grooth would also be a vital cog in Netherland’s batting line-up.

England seemed out of flair against Canada in their opening warm-up game as they survived a scare, winning by only 16 runs.

However, their 69-run win against Pakistan in their second and last preparatory game would give them a boost ahead of their Cup opener.

The Jamtha track seems to be a batting wicket as the World Cup practice match between the Black Caps and Ireland saw almost 600 runs being put on the board by both sides. Hence winning the toss and batting first would be best.

Under usual conditions, this game would have passed by without being noticed by anybody barring English fans. But given the side’s sudden plunging form, Tuesday’s game would be crucial for Strauss and his men to gain some much needed momentum before heading to Karnataka to take on a strong Indian outfit in their second Cup fixture on 27 February.

New Zealand vs Kenya World Cup Match 2 at Chennai Live Score Highlights and Preview

New Zealand take on Bangladesh in the second World Cup game of the 2011 edition of the tournament. The match will be played at Chepauk in Chennai on February 20 and will be a Group A encounter.

New Zealand go into this game with a hard-fought win over Ireland in the warm-ups after having posted more than 300. Kenya had met West Indies and had them on the mat for a small period at the start of the innings before Ramnaresh Sarwan battled through to a match-winning century.

However, Kenya did defeat Afghanistan and Ireland in the two other warm-ups that had taken place before the teams got down to the sub-continent, making them a side to watch out for.

Interestingly, New Zealand is one of the top teams which has never won a World Cup before. With the kind of form that they had shown in the last 12 months leading up to the tournament, they couldn’t be farther from their dreams of doing so this year. Whitewashes in Bangladesh and India were preceded by a tri-series in Sri Lanka where they had failed to qualify for the final.

The Chennai track was in news during the warm-up game between South Africa and Zimbabwe when both captains complained about the slow nature of the track. Things may just remain the same.

New Zealand v Kenya World Cup Group A at Chennai Live Score here:


New Zealand v Kenya World Cup Group A at Chennai Timings:

The New Zealand v Kenya World Cup game will be a day match and will start from 0400 hours GMT or 0930 hours local time.

The Teams:

Kenya is a top-heavy side with a huge dependence on the pair of Steve Tikolo and Collins Obuya. In the aforementioned three warm-up games, Tikolo has scores of 126 and 15 while Obuya has made 49, 19 and 68. Only wicket-keeper Maurice Ouma got anywhere close to a half century apart from this.

Fortunately for the side, the likes of Seren Waters at the top of the innings and Tanmay Mishra in the middle order can bat and they will look to ensure that the side overcomes its collapses of the past and gets to respectable scores.

It is their pace bowling that will be asked questions with only Thomas Odoyo having any kind of experience with the new ball. Again, Tikolo could add valuable support as far as spin bowling is concerned.

New Zealand have their own woes and the problem is that it isn’t known why they are in such a rut. There are occasions when the batting doesn’t get off the ground and on others when the bowling gets carted around. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many when both, their batting and fielding gets going together.

Martin Guptill’s century against Ireland should help him gain some confidence but one gets the sense that coach John Wright’s decision to push Brendon McCullum down the order has backfired. Since then, he has been moved back to the top but is clearly short on confidence and will need some urgent runs.

Where New Zealand will struggle is their bowling attack as they will look to adjust to the spin-friendly tracks of the sub-continent.

Why watch this match?

The two sides have played only once in World Cup cricket and New Zealand had crushed the Kenyans by 141 runs – in 2007. However, more importantly, they were to meet in the 2003 edition of the tournament in Kenya but the Kiwis had refused to travel to the country because of security concerns. Kenya will look to avenge that embarrassment and the following loss this time.

Players to look out for:

James Franklin has shown enough in recent times to be termed as New Zealand’s main player. Kenya, on the other hand, will need their openers Waters and David Obuya to not lose early wickets.

Batting stalwart Jacques Kallis was named in South Africa's World Cup squad on Tuesday

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) -Injured Kallis named in South Africa World Cup squad.Batting stalwart Jacques Kallis was named in South Africa's World Cup squad on Tuesday despite missing the current series against India due to a rib injury.

 
 
 
 
"Jacques is undergoing ongoing treatment but it's a week-by-week thing. I'm confident though that he will be fit for the World Cup," team doctor Mohamed Moosajee told a news conference on Tuesday.

 
Kallis's presence will bolster a South African batting line-up which has struggled in the last two matches against India. The 35-year-old all-rounder is also a top-class seam bowler, allowing the team to play a specialist batsman at seven.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Morne van Wyk, who smashed South Africa's quickest Twenty20 half-century two weeks ago, is the only other player named who was not part of the squad for the first three one-day internationals against India.

Twenty-one-year-old batsman David Miller, who played in the first two ODIs against India, was left out of the squad for the tournament on the sub-continent which starts next month.

CONTROVERSIAL OMISSION

Veteran wicketkeeper Mark Boucher, who is still a senior member of the test team, was also a controversial omission, although his last limited-overs international was in the West Indies in June.

South Africa's middle-order problems meant Faf du Plessis, who scored a defiant 60 on Tuesday on his ODI debut, was preferred to Miller.


Imran Tahir, the Pakistan-born leg-spinner who has been in marvellous form in domestic cricket, was included although he is yet to play in the current series.

"We think Tahir is a unique talent but it has been difficult for him to play in this series because it is difficult to play two spinners in South African conditions, but we hope to start him soon," convenor of selectors Andrew Hudson said.

South Africa are trying to improve a miserable record at World Cups, where they have usually been among the favourites but have never progressed beyond the semi-finals, often finding bizarre ways of exiting cricket's premier one-day tournament.

They will play India, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland and the Netherlands in Group B.

Kallis, captain Graeme Smith, AB de Villiers and Robin Peterson were members of the team humiliated by eventual champions Australia in the 2007 semi-finals.

Squad - Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Johan Botha, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Robin Peterson, Imran Tahir, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Morne van Wyk.

Bangladesh Cricket Team ICC Cricket world cup 2011 Announced

Bangladesh Cricket Team ICC Cricket world cup 2011




Bangladesh Suqad For 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup

SWOT for Bangladesh in World Cup, 2011

Bangladesh will play India in the first game of the tournament, and will look to repeat their performances of the last World Cup. It will not be easy this time around.

Strengths:

Their opening batting has been their strengths, and if the likes of Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes can continue batting like the way they have been, their batting could get a huge boost before getting to the World Cup.

Weakness:

The inability to forge partnerships right throughout the innings is a huge weakness. On many occasions, they have collapsed after having had a good start to their innings and that has led to many an issue with the batting.

Opportunities:

This is their best chance to make it through the second round, given that the tournament will be played in the sub-continent, where their spinners will have a good time.

Threats:

The lack of pace bowling strength and over-dependence on the likes of Iqbal and Shakib al hasan is a huge issue for them.

Players to watch out for:

It has to be the batting of Tamim Iqbal, who has, thus far, been his side’s lone warrior.

ICC World Cup 2011: England’s World Cup squad announced

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced their 15 man squad on Wednesday for the 2011 World Cup, that is scheduled to begin from 19th of February in the sub-continent.

Matt Prior was named as the squad’s wicketkeeper. Prior’s inclusion in the squad comes as a surprise as he is recalled in the squad after being out of the team for ten months.

Prior’s inclusion in the squad means that he replaces Surrey’s Steve Davies who was expected to go to the subcontinent. He has been in the current One Day squad that is touring Australia. Davies has been performing fairly well with the gloves, scoring 42 runs off 35 balls, although after having four chances in the first ODI in Melbourne. However, the selectors threw in a surprise by making another change behind the stumps.

Andy Flower, the team manager said that it was a “tough” decision to pick Prior as “Davies was picked in our last one-day series and he did okay against Pakistan.”

He explained that Prior was selected due to the sub-continent conditions. He also stated that Prior will be joining the current England squad in Hobart, Australia, where they will be playing their second ODI on Friday. Davies will be staying back in Australia as a back-up for Prior.

“We want Prior to get a few games under his belt before we get out there,” Flower told the media.

Prior, who played in the domestic Twenty20 tournament for Victoria, will be joining the England squad in Hobart to take part in the practice session.

The 28 year old wicketkeeper will be working to strike an opening partnership with Captain Andrew Strauss where he had struggled hard, before losing his place in the team since March 2010.

Prior, who was the part of England’s successful Ashes team, averages just 25.38 in the limited overs format. However, Flower expressed confidence in his abilities saying that he is an aggressive cricketer.

The rest of the 15 man squad was as expected with pace bowler Ajmal Shahzad making the cut. The Kent off-spinner, James Tredwell has been named as the back-up for Graeme Swann who is out of action for up to two weeks due to a knee injury.

Paul Collingwood was back in the squad even though he was omitted in the recent squad for Australia.

“His experience, ODI knowledge, and skills across all three facets of the game make him a valuable member of the squad and he’ll be looking to make a big impact at another global event,” the national selector, Geoff Miller stated.

Luke Wright retained his spot and Stuart Broad returned to the bowling stock of England after recovering from a stomach injury that he suffered during the Ashes series.

Miller said that the Board and the coach are satisfied with the squad and was confident that the squad had the depth to face the challenges that will be put forward during the tournament that runs till April.

England’s World Cup Squad: Andrew Strauss (captain), Matt Prior (wicketkeeper), Ian Bell, , Paul Collingwood, Tim Bresnan, Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen, James Tredwell, Luke Wright, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott, Michael Yardy, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Ajmal Shahzad.
