Cricket, West Indies vs Netherlands ICC World Cup 2011 live score video, WI 119 for the loss of one wicket. They are in very strong position right now

New Delhi: West Indies are in a very strong position after a great opening partnership between Smith and Gayle. Both scored well and rather fast and gave a dream start to their team. Netherland captain seems to have erred in asking the West Indies cricket team to bat first after winning the toss.

Smith scored a brilliant 53 runs before being out. Gayle is playing at 49 and may be preparing to explode after playing a very balanced inning.

New Zealand score after 21 overs is 119 and Bravo is giving good support to Gayle.

West Indies take on Netherlands at the ICC World Cup 2011 in a day-night matchup today. The West Indians, two-time winners of Cricket World Cup are in a miserable state now that even makes it difficult for cricket analysts to predict that they can beat Netherlands comfortably, one of weaker sides in the tournament.

It looks like that Netherlands will be a tough challenger for West Indies, the team legendary cricketer Brain Lara and many others played in the past. West Indies lost their first match in the ICC World Cup 2011 to South Africa. Netherlands, on the other hand, lost their match to England after raising huge challenges to the English players.

West Indies need to show up a tight competition today to enliven their ICC World Cup 2011 quarterfinal dreams. Otherwise, it will perish their dreams to stay in the elite group of world cricket.

“The results in the last two years don’t suggest that West Indies are a big team, but what we know and what believe in is that we are a still a big team and we have to prove that,” Ottis Gibson, former England bowling coach from West Indies said.

Gibbon had a bad experience from Dutch as English bowling coach with the team being defeated by them in the World Twenty20. “Our players have got a lot belief that they can come here and do well and prove to the world that we are still a more than capable nation,” Gibbon hoped.
