T20 WC: Netherlands Opener O'Dowd Shrugs Off Dropped Catch Backlash, Targets Win Over Namibia
Sinhalese Sports Club Ground: Netherlands opener Max O'Dowd said he has moved on from the catch he dropped of Faheem Ashraf that proved to be costly in his side's narrow three-wicket defeat to Pakistan in the Men’s T20 World Cup opener, adding that Indian fans were more upset about the miss than the Dutch public.
At the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, O'Dowd put down Pakistan’s seam-bowling all-rounder Ashraf in the penultimate over of the match. It proved to be very costly as Ashraf went on to hit an unbeaten 29 off 11 balls to seal victory for the 2009 champions.
Soon after, comments section on social media accounts of O’Dowd were swarmed by Indian fans making distasteful remarks. "Well, I mean, it's obviously disappointing to drop a catch. Just the first couple of hours after the game, I was disappointed as you would be. But to be honest, I think most Indian people were more angry than the Dutch public. "
