That was some highly skillful fixing to drag it on for 48.5 overs. They really milked it. Fair play, that was well done.

By:
It was not fixed. FFS people, read the market and the cricket.

surely England are the bet to win the odi series

By:
No, of course it wasn't Injera, of course.

did you not see the comical run out?
|
|
By:
I really enjoyed that game.
The wicket was difficult for both teams. Why do people cry fix when they lose? Some of you definitely talk **** through your pockets. If you dont like it dont bet. Simple. |

or fast scoring Hafeez unable to score and not even seeming to want to score?
|

By:
so how much did u win S&A?
|
|
By:
Bookmakers who earn money in these fixed games are not on Betfair. The bookmaking industry in the Indian sub continent is huge. Spot betting gets some a fortune.

even the devils advocates on here must feel stupid trying to put up the innocence argument on this match.

I'm sure the ICC got their taste.

what about umur akmal running down the wicket to get himself out

I didn't bet on the game, we know that games have been fixed in the past, no doubt there were the same muppets making excuses for those games at the time as well. I'm more concerned about how these idiots have basically killed any belief in the game itself.

Ask yourself, have Pakistan previous for fixing matches? Have or are some of their International players in jail for match fixing?
Cricket has a bad reputation for fiddling. Pakistan are the main culprits. |
|
By:
you can see when a team is trying to win and when they are unable to because of the wicket. Pakistan were not even bothered, and in a couple of instances actually seemed to be chucking their wickets away on purpose.
|

By:
These matches are often fixed. Some very nieve people on this forum today.

Tail enders can't run between the wickets. Nothing new there.
Hafeez's scoring rate was comparable to most batsmen in that match. He ran out of partners but knew when to go hard at the end. I've seen several fixes but that wan't one. Saeed showed how much the ball was gripping when he bowled. It was very cold adding to the juice in the pitch. |
|
By:
At what point Nigel, was that game thrown by Pakistan?
Before Saeed took 5 or after? Before Pakistan were 100-3 or after? They threw away a winning position in a low scoring match. Sure they have 'history' but I'm willing to judge matches on a game by game basis NOT by which teams are playing. |

so you fix screamers should be counting your stacks not whining like a bunch of pu$$ies on here

That was like shasrti and Misbah were reading a script. I had no money on this but I'm really sad for my favorite sport.
|
|
By:
Fair point S or A wish I had seen it.
Just traded using cricinfo. Surely all sports where money involed have a dark side. Horse racing, Basketball a couple of blatent examples. If you think it's fixed why not just cash in. Agree with you MadDogs. |

True that mad dogs. When Pakistan rapped up the series in game 2 I said game 3 will be match fixing heaven but unfortunately didn't bet.
|
|
By:
Well MadDogs as 95% of people on here lose long term I would guess most of them bet for interest in the game. I've lost a great deal of interest in the game because of the wnkers who now take part, I can't believe in this shiite any more.
|

By:
Christy - why don't you bet on the market and not on the game? If you watch the odds you can make money no matter whether a game is fixed (in your opinion) or not.
|
|
By:
i'm with injera here. there was also nothing in the prices that indicated a fix.
pakistan's previous means that everyone thinks when this sort of thing happens it must be a fix; but it happens to other teams sometimes and we never get the same response. surely all the people claiming fix have to concede that events like this do happen in cricket without anything untoward going on. therefore they cannot be certain that pakistan are guilty. |
|
By:
I can't say I feel sorry for anyone who backed Pakistan at short odds. We are experienced gamblers aren't we.

your last two posts aren't consistent nigel.

Nothing would induce me to be on cricket now Injera
|
|
By:
Dead rubber + huge money at stake = great opportunity to fix.
Just because it's fixed doesn't mean you know which way or how it will be fixed. |
|
By:
Fair enough CC.
Please don't think cricket is inherently corrupt. I believe there is spot fixing at times but rare. Match fixing is very rare imo. |
|
By:
I don't see any contradiction there.

By:
Well Injera, normally as a neutral after a game like that you have been on the edge of your seat thinking what a great comeback, classic game, but you don't and there is only one reason for that.
|
|
By:
which is that your opinion of pakistan's integrity is massively prejudiced.

I've lost a great deal of interest in the game because of the wnkers who now take part, I can't believe in this shiite any more. why would u lose interest in the game if many games such as this one is so blatantly fixed? why arent you making money? |

I don't bet on the game.
