ICC to probe India-Pakistan WC semi-final match | ICC denies

[Number]

It was fixed by BCCI and RAW.

[J P K]

the Pakistani commentator told afridi might come up once the spinners start bowling but afridi came well down the order when the spinners had almost completed their quota 4 drop catch i felt it was fixed :nervous:

If anyone was fixing it was Pak..its them who lost.

Err' date=' though the bookies are Indians, that does not mean the betting audience is Indian. They would be fixing county crickets for English customers, so all the people betting would be in England, not India[/quote'] That's far fetched. People betting in England would bet with English betting houses, which is legal in England. So it doesn't make sense Indian bookies had English customers, hence Indian bookies would fix English County matches, because English customers would place bets at legal outlets (local shops or online) in the UK.

yeah yuvi's first ball duck seemed a little suspicious to me...

Multi millionaires like Yuvraj do not need to fix matches. It is beggers like Pakis and English who need to make money from fixing. The collapse of the English team against the India team in the league match also needs to be investigated.

yeah agree that pakis and englishmen are fixers :hysterical::hysterical:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/66000.html needed 63 off 54 balls with 5 wickets in hand, and they scored 16 for the loss of no wickets. someone please tell me the strategy behind that.

For once I would like to see Lankans and pakis put their money where there mouth is. If the WC semi and final were "fixed" that means pakis and Lankan "loins" took money for losing the games. If that's the case I say suspend players from both countries, i.e. folks like Afridi, Gul, Ajmal, YK, Akmal bros, Sanga the whinga, Dilshan, malinga, Jayawardene etc. If the fans cry fixing everytime their team loses (especially to India :giggle:) then why don't they ask for their own players to be dropped and ask for them to be investigated :dontknow:

Now the sale of sleeping pills will go down in Pakistan as plenty of Pak fans that were taking them because of horror of that semi final will sleep peacefully :winky:

Exactly. When Pakis win it is never questioned, everything is normal. When Pakis lose then they claim that match is fixed. Pathetic nation.... As the eminent writer Arun Shourie has written Pakistan has the maximum number of conspiracy theorists per square Km in the world. Let me add this.... the International Jewish merchants fixed the game in favor of India so that a muslim country does not get honors. (never mind that the Pakis took that money).

so you mean they batted slowly there to make WI win and bring them to the finals? ok thanks.

Good reply, says all about how the "honest" Englishmen collapsed from a winning position against India in the WC league game

[Blue-no1]

I am not sure why Indians need to be defensive. At least India banned 3 players for match fixing and Azhar is still considered in poor esteem. It is the crooks in English team and Aussieland who were never punished. Took money for giving "weather info" to bookies ... ya right....and that too via leaked info after 1-2 years after the incident. If you believe the English and Aussies are honest, I have a bridge to sell in Brooklyn.

[DomainK]

^^ LOL so true. To sell out in a WC SF against India should be enough for a death warrant by the fans

If I understand them well, they will take fixing over losing any day. Every time their team loses, they shamelessly cry fixing. Dishonesty and treachery is acceptable to them. Defeat is not.

Delhi bookie claims fixing still rife http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/556992.html

Among the most startling claims is that bookmakers have now resorted to honey traps by using Bollywood actresses to tempt cricketers into corruption. Players holding discussions with unidentified businessmen are now immediately under suspicion, but beautiful girls have tracked cricketers on tour since the game began and the tactic could prove harder for the ICC to monitor and control.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/66000.html needed 63 off 54 balls with 5 wickets in hand, and they scored 16 for the loss of no wickets. someone please tell me the strategy behind that.

West Indies' victory was soured by the controversy surrounding India's sixth-wicket pair, Prabhakar and Mongia. They came together requiring 63 from nine overs, but their stonewalling defence produced only 16. Though Prabhakar completed an unbeaten century, the selectors dropped him and Mongia for the rest of the series, and ICC referee Raman Subba Row fined India two points, suspecting they were anxious for West Indies to join them in the final. His decision was later rescinded by ICC, who said it was not in his jurisdiction.

[SLICKR392]

After looking at the way they played against Bangladesh today and our past form in home condition (which was good), there isn't a need of fixing against these dumbards!
