'Holland cricket team exists?' - Peter Borren gives a fitting reply to a Twitter user's question

The final of the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship between India and New Zealand ended a few days back. However, the fans are still very much involved in the WTC Final. The incidents related to the game, the players involved and the team including India and New Zealand have become the focal point of discussion in the cricket fraternity.  

Notably, the WTC final resulted in New Zealand being crowned as the Test Champions after they defeated India by eight wickets. On Monday, June 28, former Netherlands cricketer Peter Borren grabbed all the limelight as he reacted to a tweet by a cricket fan regarding the WTC Final.

A cricket fan tweeted, “The catch by Shubman Gill to dismiss  Ross Taylor has been voted as the Nissan ‘Play of the Test’ in the WTC final by ICC”

Giving a reaction to the tweet, Borren tweeted, “lol”. Notably, Peter represented New Zealand in the early days of his cricket career. The batsman was a part of the Kiwis U19 team during the  2002 U19 World Cup alongside Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder.

The tweet by the Netherlands cricketer caused outrage among the Indian cricket fans as they deemed it as a mockery of the Indian players. Thus, to get back to Peter, an Indian cricket fan took a jibe asking if the Holland Cricket team even exists. “Holland cricket team exists?” a fan questioned. 

Peter Borren gives an apt reply to the troller

Borren took note of the sarcastic tweet by the Twitterati and came with a fitting reply. The former Dutch skipper asserted that the Netherlands team does exist. Though they struggle to get going, all the players wear the orange t-shirt with pride. 

“’Exists’. Fair. Struggle to pay rent. But wear the orange with pride,” Peter Borren answered. 

'Exists'.
Fair.
Struggle to pay rent….
But wear the orange with pride 💪 https://t.co/wtcKRu6tAz

The Netherlands cricket team isn’t a very known part of the cricket fraternity as the game of cricket is yet to reach the masses in the country. However, the Dutch team has delivered some impressive performances in the past. They formed a part of the ODI World Cups as many as four times in 1996, 2003, 2007, and 2011. 

Meanwhile, it was in 2009 that the Dutch team received global recognition. Netherlands scripted history in the 2009 T20 World Cup as they defeated the mighty England team in a group game.
