World Cricket II

Better legalize betting. at least the authorities (?) would have a proper watch on the odds and can have solid proof / evidence when something fishy happens.

Every time a scandal breaks out there will always be some rubbish thrown around about similar incidents. But there will be 1 or 2 genuine cases which get lost in the rubbish. It is the responsibility of the authorities to investigate and clear all doubts (if such a thing is possible at all).

What will happen now is each cricket fan replaying old matches (which their team lost) in their mind to check if there was anything suspicious . And all close matches in the future would be categorized as fixed if the result is not in their favor banghead:

A bookie in cape town has come out saying that the 434-438 match was fixed. "What are the odds that Australia fail to defend 400+?" asked the 40 year old man who makes a living selling carpets in a 40"40 pad in Cape Town. "I received this SMS from a well-connected friend of mine asking me to put a few dollars on the most expensive spell in ODI history being bowled in this match". It might be recalled that M Lewis ended up with this ignominy in this match. " I thought he was joking" rues the man, "I could have made a killing. You will be surprised that some aussies who you think are above board have a darker side".
With circumstantial evidence like that, will the authorities investigate.

See, how easy it is to make up a story like that?

actualy plum, you made a better story than TOI did....

No sourav. Not this one. This is legends of cricket on Viv Richards.

The one i saw was on classic test matches from the 70's and 80's. The cricinfo link pointed to youtube which had complete videos of those matches.

A week or 3-4 days ago I saw a couple of classic cricket videos in cricinfo with very good links from you tube. I was planning to post them here but now I am unable to find it. Did anybody come across those videos?

Yasir Hameed has allegedly said this and then denied in a Pak TV.

neengale idea kuduppeenga pola irukke. erkanave sila foreign players ellaam paid mercenaries maadhiri aagittaanga. With the future of ODI format and the 2015 WC looking bleak, this is the last chance to win this coveted trophy. Hope they put their minds into it.
