Austin 3:!6 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Line from Aamir Sohail During the World Cup ('95), when we landed in Delhi, Akram went to a night-club and it was on the same day when he was injured. I asked Akram that we should talk about tour strategy and he should see a physiotherapist. However, the next day the physiotherapist told me he was looking for Akram who was not available. Two days before the match I asked Wasim whether he was fit enough to play. He replied in the affirmative and said that on no occasion was he going to miss such a crucial match. It was strange that before such an important match there was no team meeting although generally it is done before all matches. I again asked Wasim Akram and he told me he was playing after taking some injections. He never indicated he was not playing. It was only 5/10 minutes before the toss that I was informed that Akram was not playing. The morale of the team went down. We had no time to plan strategy http://www.contactpakistan.com/Communitylibrary/general/news114.htm From Cricinfo Allegation Two: Withdrawal from World Cup 1996 Quarter Final 3. In the Bangalore quarter final against India during the 1996 World Cup, Wasim Akram decided at the last minute not to play the match. This according to vice-captain Aamir Sohail was fatal to the outcome of the game as he was asked to captain the side five minutes before the toss. 4. In cross examination Wasim Akram said he was injured. In his statement before this honorable court strike bowler Waqar Younis said that it was not the normal practice for injured players to travel with the team. 5. Team physiotherapist Dan Keisel in his statement in court said that Wasim was allowed to travel to Bangalore because the injury was minor. He said when he examined him in Bangalore the day before the match Wasim was sure that he would be fit to play, keeping in view the importance of the game. 6. Aamir Sohail stated that Wasim had told him he was fit and will be playing even the night before. But at the last instant on the day of the match, he said he could not play. ============ I cant find the article, but iIRC his brother was involved in his withdrwal Yeah so maybe Wasim took money to opt out that game. He was never clean anyway and was a cheat. But the 22 players on the field were clean, atleast I tend to believe that. If we all start suspecting most cricket matches as fixed, it will be like WWE soon.
Number Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Akram got injured in the New Zealand game before the QF while batting on 6th March in Lahore. Pakistan were batting first and Akram didn't even come out to field/bowl. 2 days later on 9th march there was the QF in Bangalore. To me it looks to be a case of genuine injury since 1. It has to be serious injury as he didn't even come out to bowl after it. 2. Healing the injury wouldn't have been possible in such short period of time, also it would have taken a lot of that time in traveling itself.
CoverDrive Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Then we don't have anything to fear this time too.
Rajiv Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Ya but he didn't have a total "Saraswati" image, lot of allegations. But I still can say with some degree of confidence that Ind-Pak WC match is like Christmas bonus for Pak team
Rajiv Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Then we don't have anything to fear this time too. All depends on game movement, India 75 all out - you think Pak will lose that one With ACC on everyone's ass, times have changed but there are other way to make money - betting/bookie etc will never go away just the style will change
G_B_ Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 if true ban the pakistan team till they sort it out
Kalia_Test Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 If Pak wins on Feb 15th, it is surely a fix :winky:
beetle Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 This guy gets this"give me some spotlight" bukaar every few days...:hysterical:
putrevus Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Why is it only matches which pakistanis lose are termed as fixed matches.Bloody losers. To me if any fixing took place it must be 1992 semifinals , why would Martin Crowe all of sudden leave the field and let John wright captain the second innings. NZ totally deviated from their formula which got them so much success in that cup.They were gifting dollies to Inzi who was swatting everything for six or four. The most undeserving champions are 1992 Pakistani team, they had no business of making semis let alone win that cup,format and rain and god knows what and who saved them. IK was collecting lot of dough for his project then and winning that cup got him lot more dough so he could have easily diverted some of that dough to fix matches.
CSK Fan Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Don't take the trouble' date=' we already have MTC. :giggle:[/quote'] Busted :nervous:
jalebi_bhai Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 For the matches to be fixed in favor of India, doesn't it require the Pakistani cricketers to be corrupt? So he is basically saying that barring Imran's team, they have all been corrupt players in the WC for Pakistan? That makes Woolmer's death even more suspicious.

I do recall Rehman Malik (then the Interior Minister) saying the 2011 world cup match was fixed, and considering the way the match went, who knows. I doubt that this was the case though.
Guldozer Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 And yeah, I don't think there is anyone in the world who Sarfaraz Nawaz hasn't accused of fixing. So I would take this with a pinch of salt.
Guldozer Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 if true ban the pakistan team till they sort it out Care to elaborate how you would tackle this? How are you meant to know if they have sorted it out if they aren't even playing, genius. And why ban the team now when all this happened years ago.

I do recall Rehman Malik (then the Interior Minister) saying the 2011 world cup match was fixed, and considering the way the match went, who knows. I doubt that this was the case though. why is it I don't hear from any Pakistani about fixing in regards to matches won. So if Pakistan wins it is because they are great and if they lose it is because match was fixed. 1992 is classic case where matches could have been fixed so that pakistan can win.

Still, the immoral acts of your players are not our problem.
maniac Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 1992 seems the most shady..... I am sure there was a lot of Israel and American Money involved there...Imran's first wife was the daughter of a Jewish Billonaire The west needed a new puppet after Zia's death and Imran was the right man with his political ambitions. Had a huge mass following. He hubg around in the social circles with a lot of important people. So yeah 1992 looks the most likely it was fixed as there were lot of things riding on it geopolitically Now too bad things didn't turn the way it was meant to be...May be America and Israel found cheaper Puppets and easier way to establish their foothold on Pakistan :dontknow: Damn I am getting good at this
zep1706 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I actually agree with Khalpat - I can bet my bottom dollar you are Pakistani ( just forum experience ) - but either way doesn't matter I suspected that a long time ago. But I chose to remain silent because he is a good poster in general and not like your typical false flags who try to stir sh!t all the time. I am pretty good at spotting online impostors. As I said before, he is generally harmless, so I don't care.

Healing the injury wouldn't have been possible in such short period of time, also it would have taken a lot of that time in traveling itself. Interesting. I always thought he faked it. But his own teammate openly accused him. So maybe he was ready enough to play but got an excuse to sit out and who knows got paid extra for not playing.
