Pak coach blames Indian media for match fixing episode National coach Intikhab Alam accused the Indian media of triggering and fanning the match-fixing debate here and said the Pakistan Cricket Board should decide whether there is any need to restore cricketing ties with a neighbour which is "hell bent" on damaging them. "The Indian media should be ashamed of itself for creating these stories about our team being involved in match-fixing in the Champions Trophy," a furious Alam said in an interview. "All this stuff about our team being involved in match-fixing started because of a report in some Indian newspapers and since then they have carried out a relentless campaign to defame us," he said. "Maybe it is time we also reviewed our cricket relations with India and decided whether we really need to play them when they are hell bent on trying to damage us," said Alam, who had coached the Punjab Ranji team in India. Alam was shocked that a parliamentarian like Jamshed Dasti, who heads the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports, made a noise on the basis of the reports in India. "The truth is that it is hard for the Indians to digest the fact that this year in two major tournaments their team, whom they tagged as favourites, was eliminated in the first round and our team not only won the Twenty20 World Cup but also reached the semifinal of the Champions Trophy," he said. "It is hard for them to accept that we did much better than their team in the Twenty20 World Cup and Champions Trophy," he said. Alam said it was shameful that although the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit had expressed no concerns whatsoever, the Indian media was creating all sorts of stories. "They even came up this story that myself and Younus Khan have been sacked. I don't know from where they got this story. It is laughable because our board has full confidence in me and the captain," he said. Alam also hit out at Jamshed Dasti stating he should be very careful while giving statements on cricket matters. "Without any evidence or proof how can he make such allegations?" he said. Dasti had accused the Pakistani team of throwing their match against Australia. Alam said if the National Assembly Committee asked him to attend any hearing to discuss the Champions Trophy performances he would definitely go. "I'll go because we have nothing to hide. We played bad cricket and lost the semifinal, that is all. We just need to learn from our mistakes," he said. source :omg: One guy accused Pak team of matchfixing , other guy blamed India and umpires ...and at last another guy blames Indian media for match fixing stories ...These guys are :sick:

Indian lobby, umpires 'fixed' Pak-Kiwi semi-final tie: Imran Khan Published on Wed 7th Oct 2009 13:33:07 Updated On Wed 7th Oct 2009 14:49:58 Karachi, October 7: Adding fuel to the match-fixing allegations, former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan has said that the Indian lobby along with the officiating umpires might have fixed Pakistan's semi-final tie against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy. While rebutting the National Assembly's Sports Committee's allegations, Khan said the poor level of umpiring during the semi-final clash has raised doubts. He said the Pakistani cricketers appeared 'overconfident' during the match, but added that the match-fixing allegations from the standing committee against the team were 'baseless'. Khan also came down hard on captain Younis Khan saying there is no place for him in the team, The News reports. He added that the team management should have played Mohammad Asif instead of Umar Gul in the semi-final. http://www.zopag.com/news/indian-lobby-umpires-%5Cfixed%5C-pakkiwi-semifinal-tie-imran-khan/8172.html

This quote of yours has a magnetic effect, Domaink. I keep coming back to it because of the truth value it holds. Does anyone know the result of the investigation of the shoot out involving the Lankan cricketers ? Where were these goofies masquerading as politicians back then ? These terrorists ran riot in the heart of Pakistan, possibly sabotaging Pakistan's chances of hosting a foreign nation forever. Six months have passed. We dont know who these people were, what their agenda was, how they hatched the plot to carry out this attack, nothing!! Were any police officials or politicans fired for their incompetence ? Instead we have some humpty-dumpty who has mistaken this average Pakistani team for some kind of "world beater", summoning the captain and the coach for investigation for a dropped catch ? Talk about misplaced priorities. These knobs deserve their Afridis and Imran Nazirs. No decent cricketer can be part of this circus for very long.
So correct Bumbper.

Pak Minister suspects India hand behind loss [Refuted by Imran Khan/Rashid Latif] Karachi: A senior Sindh minister accused India of influencing umpires to get Pakistan ousted from the Champions Trophy semifinal in South Africa. Muhammad Ali Shah, the minister for Sports and a member of the Pakistan Cricket Board governing council, suspected India's role in the sub-standard umpiring, leading to Pakistan's defeat against New Zealand. "Definitely, it is clear that India were miffed at not qualifying for the semi-finals after Pakistan lost to Australia and they took their revenge in their own way. They influenced the umpires to favour New Zealand," Shah told reporters. Australian umpire Simon Taufel had wrongly adjudged Umar Akmal leg-before-wicket at a crucial stage of the match and even admitted to the mistake and apologised later. Shah said he would not refrain from pressing the PCB to see that the International Cricket Council impose at least a one-year ban on Taufel. "Taufel must be banned. He was against Pakistan," Shah fumed. The minister, however, dismissed allegations by the Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports Jamshed Khan Dasti that Pakistan had deliberately lost the matches to Australia and New Zealand for ulterior motives. "Nothing of that sort happened in South Africa. We fought till the end against Australia and against New Zealand we got some very bad decisions," he said. Wasim Bari, the chief operating officer of the board also told PTI that he was surprised at Dasti's statement made to some television channels on Monday night. "All I can say that the Champions Trophy is an ICC and it is their property and they organize it so we don't want to comment on something which is not our territory," Bari said. He said that the ICC anti-corruption and security unit kept a close watch on the tournament and it was their responsibility to ensure it was clean. "Since the ACSU is there to ensure there is no corruption in any match we are not in a position to make any comments on the allegations by Dasti," he said.
