The Outsider Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 1. The match fixing saga was pretty gruesome, had its fallouts, some migh thave been right some wrong. Lets discuss in this thread. 2. The early exit of India from WC '07, has had some fallouts more to come and might change the picture of Indian cricket in the years to come. But before voting do remember even at the height of match fixing we did not crash out in the first round of a WC and maybe any tournament. Link to comment

I am looking for an opinion on cricket followers rather than their judgement on Indian cricket. Link to comment

It truly was shocking to a avid cricket follower like me. You sit down for 8 hours a day in front of the TV , ur emotions rise and fall along with the match and then to come to kno that some of it might hav been stage managed was unblivabl.. It was like a slap in the face of a true Indian cricket fan.. Link to comment
Bumper Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Re: What has impacted you more? Match fixing. WC'07 exit was a shocker but was expected after the horrible run we had before the cup Link to comment
King Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Re: What has impacted you more? Match fixing for me too. Some of the guys I knew ended up as culprits and that was quite hard for me to take :shrug: Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Re: What has impacted you more? has to be match fixing. There was a time when Azhar would score nothing less than 50, win matches on his own, he was a great fielder sort of my cricket hero and then to know he took money and tampered with result naahhh ill take few more early WC exits but not match fixing.

The Outsider Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Re: What has impacted you more? What puzzles me most about match fixing and the investigation was that in the 2-3 matches for which the committee claimed to have solid proof, if you look up the scorecards the accused have scored in excess of something around 50 runs. How can one fix scoring 50 runs? :shrug: Infact, in cricket its pretty much impossible to fix anything but a score of 0 while batting. Link to comment
