#3 Feiko Kloppenburg - 121 & #2 Klaas-Jan van Noortwijk - 134 not out against Namibia (2003)

Kloppenburg put on a mammoth partnership with Van Noortwijk during the 2003 World Cup

The 39th match of the 2003 World Cup at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein might not have been a particularly significant fixture in terms of the context of the tournament. But the game presented another of those scarce opportunities for Netherlands and Namibia to taste the elixir of the big stage. Even though both teams were out of contention for the ensuing Super Six stages, there was no shortage of motivation for either side.

On a docile track, Netherlands won the toss and decided to bat first. After losing Edgar Schiferli in the sixth over of the innings, their fortunes were shored by an amazing partnership between Feiko Kloppenburg and Klaas-Jan van Noortwijk. Both batsmen hammered centuries to propel the Dutch past the 300-run mark.

Despite a strong showing by their top-order, Namibia collapsed to Adeel Raja's off-breaks as well as Kloppenburg's gentle medium pace. Due to the Associate nation's dearth of international fixtures, the game saw the final appearances of quite a few players from both teams. For Kloppenburg and van Noortwijk, the euphoria generated by their stellar centuries had to suffice for the remainder of their respective careers.
