Champions Trophy 2009 at SA

[nzfan]

Last partnership shows you how easy it is to bat on this track, but I won't say anything yet since we can crumble just as easily

i am for one am looking forward to see NZ make it through to the final for once.

We won the champions trophy in 2000, beating Pakistan in the semi final

I think there's little doubt as to which team will advance today. Point taken regarding recent NZ performances against Aus. Problem with Aus is even if they manage to barely scrape their way thru to finals once they're in they're somehow able to switch gears and take it up a notch. They suddenly become extra confident, calm, composed and impossible to beat.

Azmal's IPL price would go up after this batting.

Yup...only major tournament won by NZ so far. I remember...Chris Cairns had an unbelievable run in that series.

If Pak don't get a few early wickets this match will be over in a jiffy. I hope they do succeed early on for the sake of a competitive and exciting second half.

oh really, i didn't even know. i always thought NZ never won a major tournament. good to know.

Chris Cairns was a monster in that tournament. He got injured after the 2nd or 3rd match but was relentless and would play thru injury, perform with the ball and the bat in every single match. He single handedly won the tournament for NZ

See u guyz in 30 overs

[One World]

Redmond and Guptill are hammering Rana Naveedh.

[One World]

Guptil gone and probably the hopes of NZ.
McCullum should venture gardening as profession.

9.1


Umar Akmal to Guptill, OUT


MJ Guptill c Naved-ul-Hasan b Umar Akmal 11 (10b 1x4 1x6) SR: 110.00

Here's Umar Gul

Crapinfo special.

[Ajfar]

taylor is probably the last hope for NZ. McCullum played an ashrafulish shot. that was so unnecessary

[One World]

Azmal is rocking the Kiwi boat.

[Shehwar]

any links?

[zman]

hmmm...was away for almost 40 overs...as expected didn't miss anything...NZ on track to win comfortably...my guess would be by 4/5 wickets with 3/4 balls remaining.

[zman]

Vettory wins MOM for taking three wickets and scoring 50+

[_Rafi_]

Pakistan was too defensive. They planned field for just prevent boundaries not to prevent single. Kiwi took too much single at middle overs by utilizing pakis well spreaded fielders.

Too bad NZ will still lose in the finals by 50+ runs or at least 4/5 wickets

[Banglatiger84]

supported Pakstan but not feeling bad for 2 reasons

1) Their arrogance in taking NZ for granted (the fans)

2) The way they were gloating on how Pak should lose against Australia so that India gets eliminated

You do not know what you are talking about


We are able to beat Australia

[zman]

oh no Vettory out!

[zman]

Vettory should still win MOM

Now the blaming starts

I almost forgot the people claiming pakistan lost because of the banner at the top of the pakpassion website
