Cricket, India vs Netherlands live score in ICC World Cup 2011 video

After a neck to neck fight with Irish players India moves to its capital to conquer Dutch. MS Dhoni’s men are set to have a relief win after a couple of breath taking matches against England and Ireland. Netherlands would be a stepping stone for Indians to leap into the quarter finals easily.

All eyes are set on Sachin Tendulkar who is just 18 runs away from a record 2000-run landmark in World Cups. Cricket world hoped the little blaster should have crossed it against Ireland. But as usual Sachin decided to break and erect records with a lot of patience.

The match at Delhi is expected to draw a huge crowd of 42000 who may cheer for the Deli trio, Sehwag, Gambir and Kohli. Among these three big hitters Gambir is the only batsman to find a century while Sehwag has no memorable innings at home so far.

Still the fans of men in blue here in home and away expect a Diwali like cracks from probably the best batting line up of the world. Five out of the top seven batsmen has already hit either a ton or half while captain Dhoni and Yusuf Pathan always try to blaze.

Netherlands on the other hand has lost all of their World Cup matches so far and approved their title as minnows of the mega event. Ryan ten Doeschate is the only player to score a century in this WC while Tom Cooper only past 50.

However, Dhoni s not ready to take the game as a practicing session. So far we have had a good game, a tight game and a close game. We have shown signs of improvement. What we need now is an easy win," Indian captain said before the match.

More than 20 million watch Americans India vs Netherlands have multiple ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Social Security numbers online (SSNs) associated score with their highlights name in commercial records according to a new study announced in December from ID Analytics, Inc. The study found that rather than serving as a unique identifier, more than 40 million SSNs are associated with multiple people.

6.1 percent of Americans have at least two SSNs associated with their name. More than 100,000 Americans have five or more SSNs associated with their name.

Dr. Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer, at ID Analytics said. “Most of these cases of duplication are likely due to simple data entry errors as opposed to deliberate falsification. Nevertheless, organizations expose themselves and their customers to risk if they solely rely on the SSN to verify an individual.”

ID Analytics analyzed 290 million Social Security numbers, and found that 1 in 7 are associated with more than one name. Anywhere from 3-4 million names are directly used to commit fraud.

MSNBC reported the same study showed 140,000 SSNs are connected to 5 or more people and 27,000 SSNs are connected to 10 or more people.

Some of these secondary SSNs are the result of typos where an administrator may incorrectly enter a digit and then that secondary SSN is now connected to a person’s credit going forward.

In other cases it is deliberate fraud. When the same person is shown using multiple Social Security numbers on purpose then a flag is raised.

Consumers often find out their SSN is compromised as a result of being denied credit or when bill collectors call them for non payment.

India vs Netherlands: Shuffle on the cards

It was unclear if it was Sachin Tendulkar's history with left-arm spinners or Yuvraj Singh's magic arm that wouldn't allow the ball to hit the middle of the bat. But for a change, Tendulkar loved every celebration of his 'dismissal', as much as his Team India mates, who watched an amused Yuvraj circling the spot, waving his hand animatedly to commemorate his prized victim.

Yuvraj certainly has given this team an opportunity to afford big smiles, be it while scoring goals in football practice and striking Usain Bolt's To di World pose, or on the cricket field by winning matches with both bat and ball. But it wasn't just Yuvraj's antics that had the Indians in a good mood a day before their clash against the Dutchmen.

With India having planted one big toe in the quarterfinals, the next opponent being a weak Netherlands, and the usual hype surrounding a Ferozeshah Kotla pitch missing, the team warmed up with more smiles than stress-related creases on Tuesday.

Ind vs Ned: Online ticket struggle

NEW DELHI: While for cricket enthusiasts around the world, watching the World Cup is a dream, spectators for the India-Netherlands match on Wednesday were bitter and aggrieved. For 26-year-old Vishal Patel, who had flown in from London with his parents Mukesh and Pallavi especially to watch four matches after booking tickets six months in advance, getting tickets from the online ticket collection counter was an arduous task on Tuesday.

"I had booked tickets for four matches in Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and Nagpur. While tickets for the Chennai match, which is the last match of these four, were mailed to us while we were still in London, I had to mail the online ticketing agency repeatedly before getting any indication as to what would happen to the rest of our tickets. We were finally told just days before we left that the tickets would be available at the different venues. But when we reached Ferozeshah Kotla stadium on Tuesday, we were told that our tickets had been mailed to our London address on Monday. This is ridiculous."

The family then had to allegedly argue with the ticketing counter representative for a long time before he finally agreed to give them their tickets. "We have all our papers, passports and everything they had asked for in the confirmation email sent by the ticketing agency. However, the tickets were given to us only after much argument and we were made to pay an added "entertainment tax" even though there was no such mention in the confirmation of the tickets or the later correspondence we had with them. This is just a money-making scheme. When we picked up the tickets in Bangalore's ticketing counter, there was no such problem nor were we asked for any extra money," said an incensed Mukesh Patel.

The family had arrived in Bangalore on March 5. Vishal has a mehendi tattoo on his right forearm showing off his cricketing enthusiasm which his sister Kajal had drawn for him.

India vs Netherlands: Expect nothing but a one-sided match

It's Wednesday and India are playing. That surely can't be right. I was under the impression that divinely bestowed law dictated India play only at weekends in day/night matches, hence why English and South African fans had to endure a miserable 4am wake up call to watch their game on Sunday despite being perfectly situated, time zone wise, for the later day-nighter.

Oh, hang on. It's against the Netherlands. That would explain it. Yes, India complete their matches against the four easiest teams in the group today (was it also a cunning ruse by the organizers to give the home team a gentle start to the tournament?), and no one expects anything other than a one-sided match. For most people, the only possible interest will be derived from watching Tendulkar attempt to reach his 99th international ton, so expect the Indians to bat first if they win the toss.

In their last two matches, the Dutch have lost by a combined margin of 446 runs, which is 110 runs more than South Africa and England managed on Sunday between them. True, they ran England close in their opening fixture but making sense of any match involving England is like trying to discern an original thought from within the babbling, parroted banalities of a day's commentary delivered by Ravi Shastri and Danny Morrison.

Perhaps Ten Doeschate will go berserk again, but I fancy that he and Kevin O'Brien have each played their one and only great innings of the tournament. Which is not to say that the Netherlands will be a pushover. Their side contains considerable first class experience. They are no Kenya, or Canada. But if the pitch is a good one, there is every reason to expect a mammoth total from the hosts if they get first crack.

It may not come from Sehwag whose legendary boredom threshold will probably lower to subterranean levels at the enervating prospect of facing Berend Westdijk, Pieter Seelar and Rob Key lookalike Mudassar Bukhari. But Tendulkar, Gambhir and Kohli will surely fancy the job. I like Kohli, and not just because of his uniquely trendy but magnificently self-conscious sunglasses. Nor is it simply that he isn't Suresh Raina, though that is an undeniable point in his favour.

No, Kohli is the business in 50 over cricket and in him Pujara and Gambhir lies that fast approaching future that all Indians know is coming but of which they remain in steadfast denial; a kind of menopause for the nation of India. Yes. The Age Without Tendulkar (and Sehwag, Dravid and Laxman). Sorry readers, but sometimes tough love is the only way. Face it. Deal with it. And move on. Soon (as in roughly 15 months or so).

For now the phoney war is nearly complete. We're over half way through the group phase, and the favourites have only had one proper match, which they tied. Everything after today should be supercharged cricket with matches against West Indies and South Africa determining whether India get a favourable draw in the quarter finals or face up to the prospect of the rampant Australians or multi talented Sri Lankans at least one round earlier than intended. Today though we can only hope the Dutch survive the match with some semblance of spirit in tact because Dhoni, Yuvraj and co. are not known for taking prisoners. Not even if they're conscientious objectors.

India vs Netherlands: live cricket score and preview

Though India is up against the minnows Netherlands but still they are in no mood to take this game lightly. They are girding up to go all out against the Netherlands that has put some moderate performance in the tournament compared to other starts up.
The ride for India in Delhi would be an easy one compared to the one in Bangalore where there was some uncertainties against the giant-killer Ireland. But it was only before the match. Once the match started India stamped its authority on the game.

It was a comfortable win for it. Now also, they are on their way to register a win over the Netherlands. By doing so they will become the only team in their group to reach quarters undefeated. Till now no team has been able to defeat it. With most of the Indian batsmen in full form, they have managed to have their way in all the matches.

Wednesday would turn out to be their practicing day. Before the big fight, the Indians have time to test their bowling strength which in the tournament has not been sharp compared to other teams like Australia and South Africa. But still the pacers have succeeded in delivering at the right time.
On the other hand the Netherlands fans will be expecting a miracle from their team to defeat World Cup’s favorite team. The Netherlands players, who are immune to noise as they are known to only express their emotions in football ground, will have tough time to as they would be playing in front of a hostile crowd of more than 42,000.
India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (wk/capt), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan/Ashish Nehra, 10 Piyush Chawla/R Ashwin, 11 Munaf Patel
Netherlands (probable): 1 Alexei Kervezee, 2 Wesley Barresi (wk), 3 Tom Cooper, 4 Ryan ten Doeschate, 5 Bas Zuiderent, 6 Tom de Grooth, 7 Peter Borren (capt), 8 Mudassar Bukhari, 9 Pieter Seelaar, 10 Bernard Loots/Adeel Raja, 11 Berend Westdijk.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: The World Cup in numbers

About two weeks into the ICC World Cup 2011, ratings for the first 10 matches of the series have been released by TAM Sports. So far, the top rated matches have been the India-Bangladesh opening match and the last of the TAM Week 9’11 bunch, the Pakistan-Sri Lanka match played on Saturday, February 26, which rated a 3.28 TVR in CS-4 plus all India markets.

As per the data, the tournament is seeing a viewership interest ranging from 1 to 1.5 plus TVR in All India markets in games that have strong teams and audience following such as England, Pakistan, Australia and Sri Lanka.

Matches such as Netherlands versus England, which left audiences at the edge of their seats until the last over, has rated the third highest, with a peak rating of 4.8 TVR, tying on an All India level with West Indies versus South Africa at 1.68 TVR. Another such a crowd pulling match was that between Bangladesh and Ireland that left audiences glued through the game, drawing a peak rating of 3.12 TVR.

In the next batch of highly viewed matches came in Australia versus Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka versus Canada, and Pakistan versus Kenya, scoring ratings of about 1.3 to1.5 TVR, despite some being on weekdays in the 2 pm time slot. Primetime scheduling of matches has not attracted substantial viewership as was the case with the Kenya-New Zealand or New Zealand-Australia matches, which have scored about 1 TVR.

As of February 26, 2011, among the ratings for the 10 matches of the tournament, the highest rated match has been the opening match of India versus Bangladesh at 7.47 TVR, peaking at 12.2 TVR.

Industry heads have been positive about the format this season and the strong points of the ICC World Cup 2011 have been highlighted by many industry watchers. For starters, many measures have been taken by the BCCI and ICC to ensure India’s presence late into the series. What are the strong points in the tournament? exchange4media spoke to media planners and buyers to decode the success formula chalked out this time...

Cut to Fit Formatting
Commenting on the tailor-made format cut out for the World Cup this year, Rajneesh Chaturvedi, National Director, MEC Access, said, “Non-India matches have always delivered low on numbers. It will be interesting to see how much these matches deliver this time around. Most of the matches are Day/ Night games and these would end in the prime time. The timing of the matches should help in the ratings specially the non-India ones.”

“There will be little interest during some of the non-India matches, but it isn’t as bad. Barring the last seven matches (quarters, semis & final) and six India matches, there are about eight good matches (likes of Sri Lanka versus Pakistan), about 18 average matches (likes of Bangladesh versus South Africa) and about 10 matches that involves the minnows. About 20 per cent matches are likely to be of minimum interest. If we get desired response from the 80 per cent matches, those 20 per cent will be averaged out,” reasoned Vidyadhar Kale, Client Leader, Maxus Mumbai.

“I would not term it as low, but lower than India matches,” said Sushma Jhaveri, Senior Vice President, Carat. According to her, there was no surprise about lower interest in non-India matches given the disparity in ratings. “The strength of tournament lies in the fact that it happens once in four years and in the Indian Sub-continent. Unlike the last World Cup, this time the matches are also on during primetime and then there is the Sachin factor,” she added.

Speaking to exchange4media, Sanjay Kailash, Executive Vice President, Advertising Sales and New Media, ESPN Software India, said, “Format change is one key game changer, but the event coming to India is the biggest factor that has given the thrust. Timings are more suited to Indian audiences, noise around the event has been huge and the choice of getting to see your country play live is a huge attraction. This year, many things have been revised with the number of groups being collapsed to two, matches scattered in such a manner with India matches almost till the end of the tournament and scheduled on weekends. The Indian team will also be well rested and the Day/ Night timing is well suited. India forms up to 85 per cent of cricket viewership worldwide and the BCCI and ICC boards are well aware of suiting the needs to the market. The format helps stronger teams come to quarter and semis; earlier, if you lose one match, it may be difficult to stay on in the tournament, whereas this time, consistent teams will remain till the end.”
