Re: Umpiring was a major factor in Pakistan's defeat in Champions Trophy 2009 semi-fi
Well put it on umpiring or what ever but the fact that too many player tried to guide the ball down to thirdman area and missed around 80% of those shots (the few who coneccted guided it to keeper/slip) ..... when u've seen so much bounce then the approach should've been different and that too for bowling at the death ..... no yorkers but short of good lenght if u've the pace and Gul surely has it .... Afridi + Rana getting out straight away after hitting a boundary
There r few things to learn from the defeat and i'm sure they'll learn and hopefully com back stronger against NZ and Aussies later this year
But hey they did well i'm proud of them ..... Keep it up boys :)
