rangeelaraja Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Run an over in the last 5 overs -with almost all wickets intact - how could an international quality side loose ? There was nothing extraordinary in Krunals bowling. What a shame... this doesn’t seem like a clean tournament to me. Under_Score, Franco Vazquez and speedheat 1 2 Link to comment

Global.Baba Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Nothing suspicious here. It was good bowling, sluggish pitch and good captaincy. Surprisingly or not surprisingly fielding was shoddy if not MI should have won more convincingly Link to comment
zen Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 In sports, anything can happen esp. on pitches that get difficult to bat on as the game progresses Vk1 and Stan AF 2 Link to comment
New guy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Both teams struggled in the last few overs, Mumbai struggled more and lost 5 wickets to Russel. It was that kind of pitch Link to comment
SK_IH Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 KKR have a mental block against MI, this gane was testament of that fact. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Only an ignorant fool would think that IPL is an 100% clean tournament...there are millions of dollars at stake here, and we are Living in India, the Mother Land of Corruption. Allot of posters here are living in their own Bio Ignorant Bubble happy with their thought that Rambaa!! IPL, the beshttt league in the World Macha, has arrived directly from "Devlok".

IPl maybe corrupt or not, but crying about fixing whenever one's favorite team loses is a juvenile mentality Just because India is corrupt can I call you a thief and a criminal? P.S. for over decades all fixing has been spot fixing and never match fixing which affect match outcomes Edited April 14, 2021 by New guy AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

I fear IPL allows the fixing lobby to do what can't be done in International Cricket. I love the sport, I follow it, but you can't call me an IPL buff, only interesting thing IPL has to offer to me is the performance of upcoming youngsters who we don't see in regular Intl Cricket. You can't expect everyone to love IPL or trust IPL for that matter, if you do, good for you Link to comment

You can't expect everyone to love IPL or trust IPL for that matter, if you do, good for you Let's try and understand this - your view is players like Rohit, Bumrah, Boult, Morgan, Pollard, DK, Shakib, Russell, Cummins, DeKock (some of those involved y'day) are all fixers/potentially corrupt in IPL but play cleanly when they play for their national sides. Like I said, if I belived in the above, I will not even follow the sport. But then each to his own Link to comment
Dery Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Heath should be investigated to see how deep the rot goes. I suspect there's lots of fixing in all these t20 leagues, which also bleeds into intl cricket. Link to comment

But then each to his own I think the one who run these Teams are corrupt, For Instance SRK asking his boys to throw a match or 2 in Between, because he has put stakes on the Ambani, who knows what the players and the owners are actually earning apart from the declared White portion.

sage Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Spot fixing can happen (particular no-balls/wides) but match fixing is not happening in a high profile league like the IPL.. you can't buy off enough players like that competing vs the money they make Sean Bradley 1 Link to comment
rangeelaraja Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 This match reminded me of the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy against RSA in Colombo. Chasing 261, they were 192/1 in the 38th over, needing run a ball. Suddenly Gibbs who was on fire retires hurt and RSA collapsed and lost by 10 runs. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-champions-trophy-2002-03-61114/india-vs-south-africa-1st-sf-66192/full-scorecard Gibbs admitted to fixing one match, but it could have been more than one. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indiatimes.com/amp/sports/when-herschelle-gibbs-agreed-to-score-less-than-20-for-usd-15000-but-got-carried-away-and-hit-74-instead-508818.html That’s why I never take IPL seriously. Bollywood is a gutter. Always hand in glove with dons directly and indirectly - they can stoop to any level. Under_Score and New guy 2 Link to comment
