As a ninja, she should be able to avoid Sasuke's turn and grab, not let him take the kunai from her, and be able to escape from his grasp when he is only holding her by the cloak.
One page she is a ninja chick, running on a ceiling, about to kill someone, then the next page she is a helpless little girl in need of rescuing. Kishi just never found a way to make her character make any sense.
To be fair, Sakura could have killed Sasuke in that instant. She froze at the last moment, allowing herself to be put in that situation. Its not like Sasuke turned the tables with his super awesome ninja reflexes.
