Razzaq's bank balance should be monitored. He is playing for the NZ win. Gave away 49 runs in 4 overs. Just defending. Doesnt want to run.

What's funny is when you look at the NZ batting scorecard it looks ordinary lol!!!
What was Taylors strike rate in 40th over?

 

[Creag]

What were the odd for NZ winning this match? Crazy!

Akhtar bowled full toss after full toss? Kamran dropped easy catches, Afridi didn't care or coach his bowlers... PCB gonna be up their ass again.

So they haven't choked, but thrown the game? Should be kicked out the tournament?

Yet prior to this fixture they lead the pool...

What more should the ICC do?
They've banned the best bowler in the world(my opinion)
Should they find any misconduct then perhaps they should. But from their past, they always do this...

I guess these 2 are not on the payroll... Or another payroll

Nope there are different reasons for teams losing a game like this.

Pakistan = match fixing
SA = choked
Aus = fsking useless umpire, fcking rubbish spinners pitch.
India = 3rd umpire, technology is a fail, fcking unfair bouncy pitch.
Eng = worst team in the world, bunch of whining, namby-pamby, crybaby, overpaid loser yobs.
Windies = Collapso cricket

Just what I'm thinking. There was so little effort in that game, it had to be a throw.

Think the list is incomplete?

New Zealand = one hit wonder
Ireland = ditto
Sri Lanka = rain gods on [-]call[/-] tap

So Pakistan choked?

Yep, pending an investigation of course.

I don't recall them needing 48 runs with 6 wickets, i recall them being 75/6 with virtually no chance of winning. Explain how it is the same?

Personally, I battle to understand how they could have lost the game so badly (hence the "throw" sentiment) or were the Black Caps just so good.

I never had a chance to see the game. Was obliged to follow it on Cricinfo.

I am hoping the Black Caps are finding their rhythm again. World cricket needs them.

Either they threw the game or the Black Caps were just awesome today. I am hoping its the latter.

I do NOT believe in the whole 'choking' kak story.

They 'choked' before they even got to bat. From 202/5 after 45 overs to 302/7 after 50 overs.

'Choke' is quoted because if it isn't that then they threw the game.

Psssht whatever dude. Did you watch both matches?

Yes, JK8, I did. Pakistan were cruising until Ross Taylor blew them away. And then they batted kak.
