'Never Underestimate A Wounded Buffalo': Netherlands Coach On England Clash In Cricket World Cup 2023
The Netherlands have prepared for the "best England possible", Dutch assistant coach Ryan van Niekerk said of their World Cup clash against the demoralised defending champions. England have lost six of their seven matches in a disastrous title defence and play the giant-killing Dutch at Pune on Wednesday. It's the penultimate match for both teams and the Netherlands, who stunned South Africa and Bangladesh in the tournament, still rate their opponents with respect. "England are world champions. So, I think they would do what's necessary. They've prepared just as much," Van Niekerk told reporters. "In South Africa, where I'm from, there's a famous saying of never underestimate a wounded buffalo. So, I think we sit in a position where England's one of the best teams in the world."
