Still striking me as bull**** journalism. The media is ****ed these days. Or maybe I'm only just starting to pay attention to it.

So glad Cricket Australia is involved. Even without any evidence they'll probably ban the players for years to placate their sponsors.

A rather sordid coincidence that SLC posted a 13 million dollar profit for last year just this week
Of course both teams have to play on the same pitch
And something about this pitch one just isn't right, how would someone who isn't the head groundsman have so much influence?

The Galle pitch story was much more concerning than the second video they posted, which was mostly just hot air.
Wait, sorry it should actually be Marsh and Peter Handscomb and not Glenn Maxwell, who are the supposed spot fixers. So if true it'll turn out even better from an Australian perspective to be shot of those two.Lolz, so Shaun Marsh and Glenn Maxwell are the players being implied for spot fixing? Maybe Cricket Australia should think Al Jazeera for getting rid of those players for good.

Sub in the sense that it's below all the other continents, other than the actual subcontinent that is, which is obviously the nadir of all continents .

Not sure about this instance, but Al Jazeera is normally pretty credible.

What the definition of a "session" in this video? To me, it sounded like any set of 6 or 10 or whatever overs that the bookies provide odds for? So it's not necessarily slowing down as we approach an actual break in the game like lunch/tea? Or did I misunderstand that.
The SL pitch doctoring thing is something I certainly believe as a Lankan. The head groundsmen before this was also done in for it. So looks like a culture had built up around there for this stuff..it's pretty ****ed up right now. SLC need to get rid of these dodgy guys. Hell we had a guy who was done in for fixing hanging out witn the team bowling in the nets, who was never a part of the team officially...

Are you suggesting the game that S Waugh's nose kissed Gillespie's shin(?) was also fixed and that SL had some tech to make it wash out the other games in that series?
The only scientifically proven way to make it rain in SL is to bring out the Buddha's tooth relic in Kandy. So, unless Al Jazeera has some footage of this occurring, we can say SL have definitely beaten Aus in a series on merit.

SL definitely won on merit. Both sides had to play on the pitch, and the alleged fixers made no bets as to the winner.
But you don't need it to rain to water a pitch, there are things called hoses.
