Old article but match fixing allegations are of timeless relevance as far as Pakistan is concerned.

 

Akhtar says the atmosphere in Pak dressing room in 1996 was the worst possible atmosphere because of the prevalent  match fixing.

 

To this add the fact that Mianded claims that Afridi has thrown matches ( dont think these are loose allegations) 

 

I wonder if all senior Pak players then ( Akram, Saleem Malik, Moin Khan ...etc) threw matches...??

 

Even a then thuggish guy like Akhtar seem petrified by how Pak was being sold.

 

its obvious that he will not name the senior players as they would collective make life hell for him..

 

But such revelations must not go without absolute scrutiny.

 

Pak govt and generals have given their land for money to China ( the 5000 sq km shaksgham valley), they can surely be complicit in losing cricket games...
