CT 2009 | Semi Final 2| 3/10/09 | Pakistan V New Zealand | Wanderers | NZ Innings

[On_the_up]

another 4, the end is nigh

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Agree with this

Don't forget Umar who batted brilliantly

 

[the true passionist]

Anybody's game.

anybody from NZ squad?

 

[DarkRival]

every1 should be blamed except ajmal and aamir

And Umar Akmal

 

[Khurram]

easy singels given away, catch dropped by yk and our batsmenn caused this lost

 

[Gollum]

It's just painful now...lol...can't watch it...

 

[abcanada]

Topic for another thread, but I don't think YK should be leading Pakistan for 2011 WC...

I am sure thats not what we would have been saying if he won this game.

Give him a break........ its just a game.

 

[pak4life]

This one day team really needs a revamp

 

[Uzzy]

Anybody's game.

Give it a rest.

 

[UP]

Credit should be given to NZ, well deserved victory.

 

[Inswinger]

So the darned Aussies will win it again....

 

[The Slogger]

poor day for Pakistan really, they never looked energetic, they never lived up to their game

 

[dblock]

Well I think Pakistan were 40 runs too short.

This was a 275 pitch.

 

[Momo]

Well played NZ.

We were outplayed today.

 

[Mohsin]

New Zealand keeping their 100% record at Jo'berg intact

 

[Cricket Fan]

Disappointing

 

[GamBiTT]

It happens guys...

NZ were more determined to give a disciplined performance on a wicket that suited them way more than us. And they Did!

We had a few chances .. didn't capitalize on all of them!

Certainly needed more runs than what we got (and that too thanks to a last wicket lucky partnership)!

 

[abcanada]

I am sure the Indian Media is getting ready to play this up!!

You have to realize that we made a very big deal of beating India and kicking them out of the CT.

 

[Inswinger]

Credit should be given to NZ, well deserved victory.

Yep. A good team effort from all 13 of them.

 

[Salazar]

Ajmal, Aamir, Umar Akmal, the three that do not deserve any blame

 

[On_the_up]

Wkt, stumped

 

[Mohsin]

Congratulations Australia

 

[DonJee]

Umpiring has cost us the semi-final....

the damn umpires could clearly see the ball going over the stumps by 0.6 inches, the umpires could clearly see the ball pitching outside the leg stump, the umpires could see the ball getting an inside edge BUT .... BUT.... hang on here......THEY MISS THE BALL HITTING THE MIDDLE OF THE BAT!!!!

Damn you umpires!!!!

 

[Poison]

Ranbo's over was the game changer.

 

[Momo]

anybody from NZ squad?

That's right.

 

[iZeeshan]

It's really all MoYo's fault.

The bowling had very little to work with, yet Aamer and Ajmal were still superb. Can't really blame Afridi, even if he got going, we probably would have only scored like 10 more runs in all, if he even lasted because Aamer/Ajmal did good work.

 

[On_the_up]

Ajmal with a consolation

 

[JustAnotherFan]

At least Vettori won't be hitting the winning runs ...

 

[LG]

That's all folks!!

 

[UP]

Vettori out.

Too late I'm afraid.

 

[Da Best]

Pakistan just didn't deserve it. very poor fielding cost us.

 

[Gollum]

Consolation wicket.

 

[Salazar]

Well played NZ.

We were outplayed today.

Even Momo's given up!

 

[abcanada]

Well I think Pakistan were 40 runs too short.

This was a 275 pitch.

Thats the correct reason!! You can't expect bowlers to deliver every game.

 

[Poison]

This one day team really needs a revamp

No.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Maybe Gul can pull a Malinga...

 

[Momo]

Well played NZ anyway. We played below par. Not surprising though.

 

[GamBiTT]

Had Pak beaten Aussies .. the Centurion wicket had a lot of bounce too on which Aussies thrashed England. I am not sure Pak would had a much easier task against England compared to NZ.

 

[LG]

Okay, going to sleep. G'night fellas!! Sweet dreams. And, please, no heart attacks. It's just a game. Like WWF.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Dar's Umpire of the Year award cost us. Tauffel abandoned us in this match.

 

[whyhkk]

Gul has to be looked at closely. He should be replace with Asif. Gul has done nothing since the T20 world cup. He has looked like a junior bowler.

 

[Ansari]

Younis Khan messed up this game. Time to kick him out. He can not bat nor field.

 

[abcanada]

The Powerplays have made all the difference, 55 runs in them

 

[ace_allrounder]

Whats the point of stumping him now?

Disappointed with the way Pakistan batted and bowled.

 

[UP]

Match tied.

 

[Muzy]

about time that funda vettori is out even if they r going to win hate him for what hes done to our team raising suspicions on gul n dem umpires, man after this match ive lost all respect for taufel i thought he was a good umpire but today he was just not himself

 

[CrickFan]

Congrats Australia .. No matter what the rankings .. u are the real champions .. tournament after tournament you have proved that .. no matter who plays and who does .. Australia has won consistently and they have this one in their pocket as well

 

[who_dares]

NZ vs AUS on Monday

 

[Poison]

Whats the point of stumping him now?

Disappointed with the way Pakistan batted and bowled.

4 of the 5 bowlers bowled out of their skins.

 

[WNC]

The Powerplays have made all the difference, 55 runs in them....

Well played New Zealand, but at the same time, stupid shots, thoughtless batting and that dropped chance cost us big time....

 

[On_the_up]

1 off 15 balls, Can Pakistan do it?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Very painful.

Batsmen to blame and YK drop catch. Rana's time is over now.

 

[Khurram]

bowlers did well. hard to defend 233 on this pitch.

We gave away EASY singles. NZ wasnt taking any chances and we were happy to have all feilders on boundry.

 

[DonJee]

.....and I would never know why someone felt like deleting my post.....not my day I guess!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

about time that funda vettori is out even if they r going to win hate him for what hes done to our team raising suspicions on gul n dem umpires, man after this match ive lost all respect for taufel i thought he was a good umpire but today he was just not himself

He made ONE bad decision and you lose all respect for him?

 

[LG]

Gul has to be looked at closely. He should be replace with Asif. Gul has done nothing since the T20 world cup. He has looked like a junior bowler.

Pssst.... Why not Rana? Gul's the guy who kept the torch lit when Asif was out high.

And when he's out of form, this is how you treat him?

 

[dblock]

The wrong Pakistan turned up today.

They lacked energy and aggression. New Zealand stifled them.

 

[Gollum]

This just does not look like Pakistani bowling...shameful way to honour the legacy of Imran, Waseeem, Waqar...

 

[WNC]

4 of the 5 bowlers bowled out of their skins.

And the 5th got skinned! :naved

 

[Maula Jutt]

We played a poorer game than them. Simple.

 

[UP]

Taufel is a human being, mistakes happen. I don't think he has any grudge against Pakistan.

 

[Inswinger]

Congratulations Australia

Ponting and co. must be practicing for the Trophy raising ceremony.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ win and into the final with Aussies on Monday

 

[On_the_up]

The misery is over, the pain has begun

 

[UP]

Pakistan knocked out

 

[Civil]

gonna be a sad day. Powerplay tilted in the balance of NZ

respect to grant elliot i didt think once taylor was out anyone would stand up.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

...NZ Win...

YK, Yousuf and Rana have a lot of questions to answer...

 

[pak4life]

How the hell did we lose this match im in shock. Hope the team get all the flak they deserve

 

[Inswinger]

Nice going YK!! Dropped the CT.

 

[WNC]

Well now we know who's going to win the CT this year, advanced congratulations to Australia!

 

[hashman]

Umpiring has cost us the semi-final....

the damn umpires could clearly see the ball going over the stumps by 0.6 inches, the umpires could clearly see the ball pitching outside the leg stump, the umpires could see the ball getting an inside edge BUT .... BUT.... hang on here......THEY MISS THE BALL HITTING THE MIDDLE OF THE BAT!!!!

Damn you umpires!!!!

Spot On there. Some of the calls were going too far but nothing can be considered too far after what hapened to Umar Akmal.

Go the Aussies on Monday

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well played NZ, they deserved the win.

 

[Khabri420]

Team Pakistan disappoints once again

 

[Da Best]

Now this is interesting. I Rana bowled a maiden there, he would have been a hero, but instead will be the one the people will point their knives at first. Congrats to NZ! Well deserved. As for my team, they need to re think there fielding BIG TIME. Kick out the dead rubber asap.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Chalo - it wasnt to be.

We were second best - congrats to NZ, they fully deserved the win

 

[Momo]

Congratulations NZ. We were beaten fair and square. We were not good enough.

 

[PakPassionate]

Very Painful

 

[WNC]

Nice going YK!! Dropped the CT.

Lol, maybe Gibbs or Waugh should call him up and tell him that

 

[coy0607]

Credit should be given to NZ, well deserved victory.

we dropped simple catches, and the umpiring was awful, and the batting was just atrocious....NZ didnt deserve to win they werent that amazing......we were just horrible, we deserved to lose

 

[filosofee]

Well done New Zees. And well tried Pakistan, made your opponents bat till 48th over, so no rout like yesterday's semi.
