some guys just never learn.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

NEW ZEALAND OFF TO A GR8 start, wanted aamer and asif do this to the Aussies in the final

 

[IMMY69]

[Seen Sheen]

Mate,u r forgetting WC 03' final

[siddharth]

some guys just never learn.

What to learn bro?.Didn't he just got out to 1 chasing a small target.But thats excusable,had it been Tendulkar,the choking things would have been all over.

But yeah nice cover up of the failure.Keep it up.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Poor delivery Mills..it was his slower,quick bouncer..!

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

4 frm watson!

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Another wicket will seal it for NZ

 

[Indiafan]

Mate,u r forgetting WC 03' final

Thats one out of how many attempts? 10?

 

[Indiafan]

boring match.

Wt? Some amazing bowling from both sides till now

 

[siddharth]

Thats one out of how many attempts? 10?

And the crown that he got is of a '' man in crisis '' and the example is one.How poor is that?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Thats one out of how many attempts? 10?

in 1999 final,he wasnt required..In 2007 final,Gilchrist stepped up..In 2006 ct final,bowlers did the job for Ozs..so where has he really failed?

 

[siddharth]

in 1999 final,he wasnt required..In 2007 final,Gilchrist stepped up..In 2006 ct final,bowling did the job..so where has he really failed?

So if some one else bailed his team out,he will be regarded as a pressure game champion?

 

[Cover Drive]

Woow Bond almost had White. Another madien over bowled

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Is Mills bowling really good?

I think he is

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

maiden frm bond

 

[Cover Drive]

Ponting is going to end up taking golden bat

 

[Cover Drive]

Finally a run for Australia

 

[Indiafan]

in 1999 final,he wasnt required..In 2007 final,Gilchrist stepped up..In 2006 ct final,bowlers did the job for Ozs..so where has he really failed?

Huh? He batted and didnt score runs. Does it matter if others did? How can u praise an individual for his team performances? If Sami was playing in those WC for Aus as a batsmen would you praise him for being in a winning team?

 

[Seen Sheen]

So if some one else bailed his team out,he will be regarded as a pressure game champion?

he wasnt really required for above mentioned occasions.Australia were never in trouble in those matches ..so,you cant say that he chokes in big matches..when he got the chance,he did his job i-e in WC 03'

 

[Cover Drive]

I think Australia will have trouble playing Jeetan Patel.....btw where is Saqlain Mushtaq didn't they appoint him spin bowling coach for 6 months?

 

[Cover Drive]

After 8.5 overs NZ were 18-1 whereas Australia are 18-2

 

[Indiafan]

Wt are you talking about? In Wc 2003 he came after Gilly had already murdered the indian bowlers.(105 in 14 overs), some crisis!! In fact in the other games, barring 99, he was needed more than in WC 2003

 

[Cover Drive]

Another maiden from Bond

Fielding powerplay taken

When you call somebody a big match player,it means that he has either scored runs when his team is setting the target in that match or he rescued his team when they are chasing a substantial target when they were in some sort of trouble.Ponting never really had a chance to show his worth in those matches but when he got one,he cashed on it(wc 03').

 

[Cover Drive]

Good umpiring by Aleem Dar

So one world cup match is sufficient to give the crown for ''ultimate pressure man''.In that match,he wasn't even chasing.

 

[Cover Drive]

Why does it seems to me that Mills is chucking? To me his arm seems like Shabbir Ahmed

 

[luvthegame]

Excellent Bowling...Harsha is talking about Mills and boon..

Cant the ICC find commentators from other countries...

 

[luvthegame]

NZ deserves to win...Go Black Caps...

 

[Mr_cricket]

There were still runs to be scored in the 99 wc final. Ponting was chasing a total in he 2006 and this ct final. There were still overs to go in the 2007 wc final................I don't understand you mate.

 

[kashmiri]

Where are those Ponting is a big match player brigade?.Did he choke? Nah just unlucky.Choking is only for Tendulkar I forgot

you indians are so self centred. This is a kiwi-australi game. why bring your loser choker demigod into this discussion.

 

[SAM'S]

i hope this match gets abandoned due to rain while Australia being 38/6 after 19.5 overs.

 

[Oxy]

I think Ian Gould has missed that one!

I heard the nick!

Why no snicko??

He had a chance to cash on it when chasing in 2006 and todays ct final? Chasing in a big final. In fact he was under pressure in the former two matches mentioned rather than a great start in the 2003 wc final.

 

[siddharth]

Because of such comments!Can you tell me what Ponting did here? Did he choke?

 

[kashmiri]

good one mate

 

[siddharth]

Sorry guys for hijacking.Come on friends can we join in the other thread.

 

[Mr_cricket]

New Zealand has done well to reach 200. Now they are putting a lot of pressure on Australia and are bowling well.

 

[kashmiri]

are the kiwis on steroids or what?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wt are you talking about? In Wc 2003 he came after Gilly had already murdered the indian bowlers.(105 in 14 overs), some crisis!! In fact in the other games, barring 99, he was needed more than in WC 2003

in 03,had he not scored those runs then what would have been the worth of that inns from Gilly..It was not that Aus were 200 odd for 1 and then Ponting came..Teams can still come back from 2 wickets down for 125 runs-ie bowling side but Ponting didnt allow india to come back and took the game away from India.
in 2007,also Gilchrist alone did the job,so would you say that Ponting failed there?No,he wasnt really required for the job..in 2006,CT final..WI were shot out for 130 odd.Aus were never in trouble achieving that total..

 

[Oxy]

I re-tuned expecting to see the final flurry of boundaries and the Aus win

25-2 off 14 overs???

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok, merey Indian bhai. Ponting is a crap player who crashes under pressure while Sachin is the only Champion on this earth who never chokes or crashes under pressure. Happy?

 

[BD-fan]

Just to keep you interested.

who has said that!I wont call him ultimate pressure man because Australia have never really been put under pressure in big matches..

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ok, merey Indian bhai. Ponting is a crap player who crashes under pressure while Sachin is the only Champion on this earth who never chokes or crashes under pressure. Happy?

) yeah,I m sure now they would be..

 

[Oxy]

Really poor crowd - pity.

Would have been rammed if Pak were playing...

 

[siddharth]

Thats not the point here.Anyway Aus 37/2.

McCAllum drops a Watson skier!

Oh dear!

 

[Oxy]

That looks worse with each replay!

I wish this upon NZ

 

[JustAnotherFan]

McCallulms dropped the Champions Trophy ... with gloves! )

 

[Seen Sheen]

White shouldve told McCullum there,"Son,you have dropped the Champions Trophy!"

 

[tauseefm]

McCAllum drops a Watson skier!

Oh dear!

I thought it was white?

 

[Maula Jutt]

Dropped catch. Now AUS will hit back. Same as what happened with PAK in our semi.

 

[siddharth]

Mccullam has a bad day!

 

[NorthStar]

Ok, merey Indian bhai. Ponting is a crap player who crashes under pressure while Sachin is the only Champion on this earth who never chokes or crashes under pressure. Happy?

I totally agree ... Sachin is the Man.

 

[Oxy]

I thought it was white?

I'm not really paying to much attention.

Roti in one hand.....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thats not the point here.Anyway Aus 37/2.

Then what exactly is your point how the heck Sachin jumps in a thread when he is not even in the country where the game which is being discussed is played? Remember he went home on a flight to Delhi way back.

 

[truth]

he wasnt really required for above mentioned occasions.Australia were never in trouble in those matches ..so,you cant say that he chokes in big matches..when he got the chance,he did his job i-e in WC 03'

So only one Innings in pressure makes him a player for big occasions ................... Wht abt the Indo Pak match in WC 03, which to many was a high pressure cooker match more than any WC Final which would also be agreed by many PPer's had'nt the man performed in tht match ......... if one match innings is taken into account???

 

[Oxy]

I totally agree ... Sachin is the Man.

We are in esteemed company...roll out thered carpet

 

[truth]

Dropped catch. Now AUS will hit back. Same as what happened with PAK in our semi.

It was a hard chance ............ not a lolly pop which Pak missed in SF ......

 

[truth]

This Watson is a

(VERY VERY) to whole Square lucky

 

[Oxy]

Thats an insult to lollypops! It was worse!

This wasn't that hard a catch. Especially with gloves on. Though YK's was easier.

Anyway, my point was that this catch may turn the game around.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Aus fighting back .
