Netherlands Captain Dismissed and Brought Back as England Have Foul Play on the Field

These things do happen. But it was more interesting given that England were already under the hammer from the Netherlands in their first ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 encounter.

The second ball of the forty-ninth over from Stuart Broad saw the Netherlands captain, Peter Borren, dismissed. However, the captain was asked to return even as he chose to walk away because England erred in their fielding position, which meant that a mandatory fourth player in the thirty yard circle was found outside. The perpetrator happened to be Paul Collingwood who tried to run in as fast as possible but failed to make the circle and England lost the wicket they thought they had.
Irrespective of that decision, Netherlands find themselves in a strong position at halftime, stunning England in Orange City, Nagpur.596187
