Pakistan v New Zealand | ICC World T20 Super8: Match 5 | Bridgetown | 5/8/10| Pak Inn

[muchacho]

atleast we still have a better NRR than NZ. Ha ha ha.. take that you KIWIZ!

 

[Sir john]

no we are out

AGREE

 

[WNC]

And btw if that ass of an umpire had given Nathan McCullum out, he wouldn't have been able to smack that six of the last ball, but oh well.

 

[taaveez]

We lost the match because we took it to the last over.

The x-files of defensive chase.

 

[chui_kadoo]

SA wont lose to England. Trust me we are out of the tournament in 4 hours time. Time to pack there bags and face the music back home

 

[syd_pak]

Youre kidding right...?
He HAD to take that run. Outstanding performance by Salman Butt imo.

nope......you would u give the strike to a player who has faced a few balls in his career...unless u have no balls.....

 

[CricketBuff]

they are a sad bunch of losers!!!

 

[rsk]

atleast we still have a better NRR than NZ. Ha ha ha.. take that you KIWIZ!

u ar right- sorry

 

[Salman_S]

Stop blaming Butt, without him we wouldn't have even got that close. Top order was a disgrace. If you struggle like that to chase 133, and who were the bowlers? Mills and Butler.....if it was against Aussies bowling 150k you would understand. But these were just medium pacers.

and if sami didnt bowl that 5 wides delivery

 

[ads101]

Unlucky.

I think New Zealand really deserved to win anyway. Defending such a small total is pretty hard, and New Zealand looked like they were going to win for the majority of the game. The few boundaries at the end by Butt really put Pakistan with a chance of winning. Rehman never really looked like he would hit any boundaries. Should have sent any of the tailenders who have proven that they can indeed hit boundaries.

butt deserves applause

 

[taaveez]

The second match today will seal our exit. If SA win, then we are out for sure.

If ENG win and they win again against NZ and we beat SA, we'll make it through.

 

[Bobbins]

No more Afridi please, he sickens me.

 

[Wiji]

Afridi the KING!

What outstanding answers! )

You've got to love the man.

What did he say this time? Pakistani interviews are the best. I will never forget Younis Khan's legendary press conferences last year!

 

[chui_kadoo]

well played salman butt. He did his job. If a retard such as rehman cant get a single off one ball then its not buts fault

 

[Salman_S]

nope......you would u give the strike to a player who has faced a few balls in his career...unless u have no balls.....

Butt did the right thing. They only needed one run to extend the game and two to win because of that run. Rehman though went for glory and hit it in the air rather than on the ground.

 

[Poison]

good show, what a game.

this feeling is indescribable.

 

[tdpako]

Winning and losing is part of the game but never ever loose like this!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gfghvm]

The Pakistan cricket team is the reason why we have so many suicide bombers in the country.

) ) )

 

[bantu]

Afridi: This is a good game. Salman Butt played a mature innings but NZ bowled well in the first six overs. Rehman, Hafeez and Ajmal bowled well and got the wickets at a crucial time. We will play the next game with the same attitude and hope for a happy ending
Duh.............. ) )

 

[chui_kadoo]

After this I think Afridi must go. Hes not leadership material. Captaincy definitly affected his batting and bowling

 

[pakbl10]

nope......you would u give the strike to a player who has faced a few balls in his career...unless u have no balls.....

Anyone would take if it they were in that situation. Butt can't be blamed. All Rehman had to do was take a single, instead he tossed it to a fielder.

 

[Salman_S]

The second match today will seal our exit. If SA win, then we are out for sure.

If ENG win and they win again against NZ and we beat SA, we'll make it through.

England is not the same as Australia. Tough ask for them to beat South Africa and New Zealand. Let alone we beat South Africa.

I suspect our tournament will be over after today.

 

[Hari Sombar]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

) )

Deservedly kicked out !

But well played Butt, shouldnt have took that single though, and Razzaq's fault for those 4 dot balls

 

[TalhaSyed]

u ar right- sorry

Nah NZ's -0.300 is < Pak's -0.215 but think that will mean f all at the end of it

 

[classic]

Well played to Butt..it was not all his fault our pathetic batsmen failed in general.

Well played Nz.

 

[CricnPak]

good show, what a game.

this feeling is indescribable.

Exactly. Wonderful game. Had everything you can ask for. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though we lost.

 

[chui_kadoo]

only positive is that hopefully dead wood including Ijaz butt will be removed once and for all

 

[CricketBuff]

Its time to get rid of the deadwood and bring in the U-19 players. Groom them and we will have a decent team in a few years. Make Butt the Captain!!!

 

[ahaPassion]

For last year, we've been hearing all sort of bad news related with Pak. cricket. We've been blaming each other and sacking others but still we are not on track. May be this time PCB needs to be answerable. We were great one year ago and now we lost all our credibility and worth.

 

[Bobbins]

Remove Afridi from captaincy, he can't handle the pressure.

 

[Salman_S]

Misbah and Hafeez have had their last chances. I don't think we will be seeing them again.

I predict some swift over turns of the bans on other players. Desperately need Younis and Yousuf back. Especially with 50 over world cup only next year. That isn't enough time to build a new team.

 

[Bobbins]

Definitely missed Yousuf, Younis, class batsmen, Hafeez, Misbah are complete unadulterated garbage.

Be honest, we great in the first T20, we were lucky and manged to pull it together in the second.

And and in this one we have been pretty atrocious. We finally got a good bowling combination and strategy, but our batting was poor throughout, no signs of improving at all. Butt only stand out player, continuing his form from Australia tour.

 

[Bilsher007]

There is no way Pakistan can qualify, indiscipline in all aspects, nepotism from PCB in selection of team and poor tactics by team management cost pakistan it's title defence.


Are we going to learn any lessons ??... going by what happened in australia recently and actions taken later by PCB..it seems not at all unless PCB is overhauled immediately.

People like yawar saeed known to encourage groupings and the one who got younis khan removed and indefinetely banned is still around... what justice...We deserve what has befallen has. We need to start making changes that are needed on merit and not just for sake of introducing new faces..only then will be see progress untill such time it's no light at the end of tunnel i am afraid.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I am feeling for Butt..People who are saying that shouldnt have taken that run are acting stupidly(especially Indians),had butt not taken that run and missed the last ball ,he couldnt have run two with keeper there,he played safe game and then it was upto A.Rehman to take the single rather than going for the glory shot,But .

 

[lumber121]

Unlucky today, it wasn't to be. Combination of factors like injuries, pcb issues, selections n our general lack of cricket meant we were weaker team. Inshallah only way for us after this tournament will be up. keep the faith like a true pakistani. peace

 

[Bilsher007]

only positive is that hopefully dead wood including Ijaz butt will be removed once and for all

And i believe all of us here at pakpassion need to perform special prayer and recite special wazifas to get rid of ijaz butt. I tell you fellas if this is what is to remain our standards and we are not to make redical changes based on merit by first overhauling PCB then just wait and watch disaster at 2011 world cup ( 50 overs)... it will be first round exit for us.

There is no plan just cprruption and nepotism ..i am sick of it now . If **** chadu was'nt haraam then i would have perfomed it on ejaz butt and his cronies but islam forbids us of such kufaar acts. We need to take initiative here at pakpassion and start mobilising right channels to remove ejaz butt and conduct overhauling og PCB, need to bring in younsters that are ready to play yet we keep trying confirmed failures. I knew from the time hafeez, misbah, sami and latif were selected that this year pakistan will not be able to make it to semis.


Take action now in the right track and maybe we can avoid disaster at 2011 World cup.

 

[Salman_S]

It is very sad how we went from such promise in a T20 victory, ICC Champions Trophy semi final to that Australia Tour and now this showing.

You have to blame the PCB and the players. Clearly they are working aginst each other and it has shown in the results. Debacle after debacle after debacle.

 

[Dr. Khan]

nope......you would u give the strike to a player who has faced a few balls in his career...unless u have no balls.....

If you saw the match carefully, you will realize that rehman was almost at butts end for that ball. I dont blame butt for that run.

If anyone <b> Misbah </b> 3 off 13 cost us the match.

Thats what you get for keeping a fossil in the team.
