Fat boys do win

Feiko Kloppenburg, so often the subject of cruel jokes about his size and weight, had the last laugh on Monday when he helped lead the Netherlands to their first ever one-day international win.
The Dutch, who beat fellow no-hopers Namibia by 64 runs to avoid the World Cup Pool A wooden spoon, not only celebrated a maiden win, they were also toasting Kloppenburg and Klaas van Noortwijk who became the first men from their country to make centuries.
Kloppenburg was the first to the milestone and hit six fours and four huge sixes before he was finally out for 121 while van Noortwijk made an unbeaten 134 with 11 fours and three sixes.
"People are always joking about my weight and fitness so it was great to have a day like this," said the sturdy all-rounder who went on to take four wickets as Namibia were dismissed for 250 in reply to 314-4.
"I was really in the zone today and on such a great wicket, it was important to get a big score. It is such a fantastic feeling to be the first Dutch player to make a century."
The Dutch went into the game without captain Roland Lefebvre who was ruled out with a hamstring
injury in what would have been his final international appearance.
His deputy Luuk van Troost dedicated the win to the veteran skipper.
"This win is for Roland because over the years he has done so much for Dutch cricket. He has been a fantastic captain."
Lefebvre himself said the win could spark new life in the game in the Netherlands.
"It was a great win and it's very exciting for everyone," he said.
"When we made over 200 against Zimbabwe, I was fairly confident that a player of ours would make a big score here but to have two players make centuries was just incredible.
"I hope that we have showed everyone here that we can play cricket."
The tournament proved a chastening experience for Namibia playing in their first World Cup.
They had lost to the Dutch on a last-ball finish in the final of the ICC Trophy in Canada in 2001 and then suffered six heavy defeats, including a record 256-run crushing at the hands of world champions Australia in this tournament.
"We were nowhere near our best today and we were beaten by the better side," said captain Deon Kotze.
"We fell behind the run rate so we had to play bigger and bigger shots. But we have learned a hell of a lot here and gave it everything we had."
