NAGPUR, India (AFP) – England skipper Andrew Strauss certified his error-plagued side had got out of prison after violence a dauntless Netherlands by 6 wickets in a World Cup upon Tuesday.

The Dutch posted a severe sum of 292-6 upon a behind of a excellent century from Ryan 10 Doeschate, a measure helped by a little bad bowling as great as slapstick English fielding.

Strauss afterwards strike a stoical 88 as England reached their aim with 8 balls to gangling in this Group B clash.

“Thankfully a batsmen got us out of jail,” pronounced a England captain, who enjoyed a century mount with Kevin Pietersen to set England upon their way.

“We got a lot of things wrong with a bowling as great as you let them off a offshoot 3 or 4 times in a margin as great so it was a really bad 50 overs.”

But he added: “It was an superb wicket for one-day cricket. We regularly knew if you kept wickets in palm we’d have a great possibility of chasing it down.”

England’s subsequent plea is opposite hosts India during Bangalore upon Sunday.

“We’ve got to take this upon a chin, sense from it flattering fast since you can’t means to do which as good often.

“We have been really vehement about a India game. It’s starting to be an extraordinary ambience as great as a great occasion. Hopefully you can spoil an Indian celebration there.”

Netherlands captain Peter Borren blamed his bowlers for handing England as good most opportunities to thinly slice divided during their total.

“Obviously 292 was a great score. you suspicion it was competitive, though I’m not certain if you done them work as tough as you presumably could have for a runs,” he said.

“We proposed off a bit rusty (in a field) though came behind all right. you consider in all you bowled dual sides of a wicket during times as great as which price us,” he added.

“I suspicion Ryan batted beautifully, he combined a substructure for a rest of us to work around. We struggled fortifying it as great as credit to them, they played well.”
