Cerrertonia Jul 2023 11:43am, 6 Jul 2023 19,202 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia I think that means that Netherlands have to win in 45 overs, but my maths may be suspect.
paulcook Jul 2023 11:47am, 6 Jul 2023 2,936 posts	Quote Pin paulcook Best I've found is they need to score the 278 inside 44 overs. Don't quote me on how correct that is.

(Not prior) Which is why I've been saying for a long time foakes was always the superior keeper. He doesmove his feet. But this debate drifts all the way back past Foster and Read to Stewart Vs Russell.
