Dear All,
This was totally unfair game. Its very obvious that the propoganda was against Pakistan. They wanted Pakistan to lose the game !

If umpires can be won by money than we can no longer rely on those decisions.

Umer’s out was within 2 seconds seen as wrong and even the commentator said it. Atleast they should right away reverse the decision ? Why Not ? Is it fair to let someone walk out when he is clearly not out ?? Doesnt that change the outcome result of the game ?

Please we need to use the technology in hand to clear the doubts. Its no Fun to watch unfair cricket ! and unfair media who is totally biased !!

The 3d Softwares Pin point the balls position !! ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL SHOULD HAVE that rule where players can contest umpires decision !! otherwise its not the country playing Cricket ! Its umpires playing it !!

Let the countries play cricket Please !

ALLOW INTERNATIONAL ONE DAY MATCHES to be contested by Players at time of Doubt !! If you really want Cricket to stay in its Pure Form !

For the Peace !! For The Sake of Cricket !!

Rahman read the laws of the game, take a 2nd look at the highlights and learn to spell. You are a bad sport and a discredit to Pakistan. Not once do you acknowledge the fault of your players-blame them, not the umpires who mostly made the correct decisions as supported by hawk eye………

It was totally biased umpiring. Too many wides called for Pakistan where Newziland got away for the same scenarioes. I noticed always England and Australian umpires making mistakes in the crucial matches against Pakistan. Say for example, in 1987 semifinal of the world cup, Dean Johns was runout for few yards and even the camera showed it, British umpires said not out and Dean Johns cost Pakistan the match.

Bc of the reasons umpires making deliberate mistakes, we should use the technologies to do the Justice, Same things should have done for the LBWs. Newzilands Batsman survived atleast 4 definitely LBWs. Elliot was out for the first ball of the Azmal plumb in front n couple ocasions, same as ross taylor , Redent and Vettorri by the Navid Yorkers. We needed to have the technologies implemented for LBWs like the runout.

Umpires are the winner of PAK VS NZ GAME. Can any one tell me if ICC gonna get these bloody umpires. Pakistan bowling >>>>>>>>>>> FORGET ABOUT LBWs.
Pakistani batsmen>>>>>>>>>>>> BAT and PAD >>>>>>>>>>>> LBW because ICC believeS on good umpiring. Good on all those guys who can read but cannot see all LBW appeals by Pak.
Forget about Umer Akmal’s wicket. He was given out because HE WAS LBW….. get a life simoN toffeL. What a low life? You should be sacked and fined alteast 50 years of you wages. simoN toffeL if you do read this comment by any chance, please go and get some Guli Danda training.

I never minded Pakistan on victory dais in ’92 when you beat us in semi, was heart broken in Manchester when you beat us in ’99 but on both occasions the better side won. Umpires made mistakes in those games too. Rather than blame the umps Murtaza and Umer, think of how many mistakes the players make every game. For example- Imran/Kamran/Younis/Shoaib/Yousef (poor shot options), Naveed (+++no balls), Younis (dropped a SITTER). POOR decison against Umar Akmal though-gee, I thought it was the ’92 semi all over again with some unknown teenager taking the game away from us…

its not about losing or winning the game…but umpires have to be neutral or ICC have to adopt “challenge” method which was actually real good idea …like what happen with umer akmal. he can challenge umpire decision on the spot ..there were 4 or 5 outs of new zeland there if Pakistan challenge those decisions, match can be in Pakistan fevour…but i think all the decision were against pakistan why not against new zeland, not even 1 decision….think abt it…

There is something caled a 3rd umpire which the stupid umpires did not use. This was a really horrible unfair match,
I have seen the match from all the angles and this was very bad. The Paistanis indeed deserve an apology and at least for “losing” the match 500000 dollars because of the racist decisons played by the damn umpires. This is a true sign of racism. The white umpires should be banned. Sut up you new zealand white people. your team would have never won if it weren’t for the umpires. Go Australia beat the new zealnds asses.

Its ok guys. Pakistan fought really well. Dont forget..PAKISTAN IS THE ONLY ASIAN TEAM TO REACH THE SEMI FINAL…
Its ok if we didnt win the cup, we won Pak India match, I think thats enough for now. The team worked hard, they were rusty and out of practise but still made it to the semi final. So just appreciate their efforts…

This was not the first time when umpires made the mistake. In every game there is atleast one mistake. so keep your mouth shut and watch the cricket.

simon tofle is culprit
it was not the first time
umpires like dickie bird and david shepherd were always involed in making bad decision against pakistan
nik and hadrik they give out to not out,umer akmal was not out and simon tolfle intentionally gave him out at the crusial time
and rose taylor was out 2 times third time afridi gave stump in his as so he had to return
and eliot was out on the very fist bowl of hsi innings

u wont accept it cuz u guys r biase
u guys hate to see asian teams on victory stand
