Feed Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Indian News Paper retracts Australian spot-fixing claim More... Paper retracts Australian spot-fixing claim Scott Spits March 25, 2011 - The apology issued by The Times of India. An Indian newspaper has issued an apology for publishing a story on its website alleging that spot-fixing had taken place during Australia's opening World Cup match against Zimbabwe. The Times of India says a story it published earlier this week insinuated that the game, played on 21 February, had been subject to spot-fixing. An apology was published online in the immediate aftermath of India's quarter-final victory to end Australia's hopes of a fourth consecutive World Cup title. "The Times of India carried a story on its website on March 22 alleging that the match between Australia and Zimbabwe had been spot-fixed. We apologise to Australia, Cricket Australia and ICC for any embarrassment caused by this," the apology said. "We also accept that at no stage has the ICC ever confirmed or suggested the match was fixed. "The story has since been taken off the website." However, traces of the story can still be found on the internet, and the report suggested that three men from a "match-fixing racket" had "snuck" into Australia's hotel before the game. "The Mumbai crime branch busted a match-fixing racket from a hotel in Ahmedabad involving three Dawood men, who sneaked into the hotel where the Australian team was put up to play Zimbabwe in the World Cup game on February 21," the initial report claimed. "The tip-off from Mumbai police exposed Gujarat police's tall claim that foolproof security has been provided for the quarter-final match to be played here on March 24. "Sources told TOI that the three D-company men stayed with the Aussie team in a five-star hotel in Satellite area and met them in the lobby where the deal was struck for spot fixing. Australia won the match." In the early stages of the tournament Australia was forced to defend claims it was being investigated for alleged spot-fixing in the early stages of its batting innings against Zimbabwe. The Press Trust of India originally reported the claims that Australian openers Shane Watson and Brad Haddin were being investigated for slow batting. But the news agency initially wrongly referred to Australia's second match - against New Zealand four days later. It claimed that Australia's subdued start against Zimbabwe, ranked 11th in the world, had piqued the interest of investigators, leading to an official probe. At the time, Australian team manager Steve Bernard and opener Haddin both gave short shrift to the report in the Indian media, saying such allegations were simply a hazard of touring the subcontinent. "I think you guys are better than [to believe] that, to know that's not the case," Haddin said when asked about the allegation. "I just think the whole thing is quite laughable . . . just a joke." While Australia was 0-32 after 13 overs — a period in which all but five overs were bowled by spinners and there was only one maiden over — the report said investigators' specific query was that Australia was only 0-5 after two overs. Spot-fixing refers to illegal manipulation of elements within a game, such as over rates and extras, rather than the end result. with Jesse Hogan
