Shame you Imran Khan. You were a great cricketer but your comment here is very cheap and not fitting to your position. "People cannot accept we lost to a team like New Zealand in such a big match,". Utter nonsese you are writing Mr. Imran. New Zealand is not only having Daniel Vettori a world class player. They have world class players, but you are not having competent players. Pakis tried to stop India coming to semi final stage. Purposely they have not batted well against Aussies and the most lost. That is the price you have given. Otherwise you should have get a weak team England to play in semi final. Your narrow minded typical terrorist Paki mind is the reason of losing in semi final by a strong team like New Zealand. Never India undermined, you and your people are undermining your base and always trying to undermine India, but it reversely affecting you.
sorry imran...they were not over confident...they are boasting like that...pak is a ordinary team..they won 20-20 world cup due to the early exit of champions team like australia and india...so they won easily..u cant expect these for all major tournaments

no sir...they performed very ordinarily...even though against our poor bowling attack they were 65/3..dhoni bowled and passed the overs with part time bowlers..if he attacked with harbajan at that time they were lost another wicket..after that only good for nothing afridi and new one umar akmal..then tail started..we restrict them well below 250..we could chase that,,but follish dhoni not done that,,,he believd his part timers kohli and yusuf....and paid for that...
if we won the match against pakistan pakistan out of the tournament...then how they think about finals..
to favour NZ. right from gould to taufel gave decisions in favour of NZ till finals. this is only competetion where a weak team such NZ enjoyed the good luck till finals and even in finals. this aspect needs to be looked at.
Umar Akmal had a strike rate of more than 100 coming into the Australia match, He is batting in the 49th over when power play is on. All he manages is 0 runs in 5 balls. We have seen hundred of one-sided matches but have you ever seen this happen?

true. in 48th and 49th over only 1 and 3 runs were scored.
I dont think any fixing took place. No team other than AUS perform consistently throught series. All so called good teams like SL SA and PK and India has good and bad performances in either matches. And all indians are happy by 50%..not 100% because Aus win and 50% because PAK is out
