Some i have heard are
1.there was extremely famous conspiracy among indian fans in mid nouthies that punter used spring bat in 2003 wc final
2.icc always makes sure india and pakistan are in same group since this match catches more eyeballs then any other one
3.england used murry mints in 2005 ashes
4.bowling trio and warner were main culprits behind sandpaper gate saga. Smith was innocent but was made scapegoat
5.wasim akram was serial match fixer and wantedly skiped 1996 quarter final
6.bcci protected ms dhoni during 2013 ipl match fixing saga

I guess the obvious ones are the "Adelaide leak" during the third test of the 32/33 Ashes tour where the, ah, free and frank exchange of opinions between Bill Woodfull and Plum Warner was surreptitiously disclosed to a gentleman of the fourth estate and the whole D'Oliveira affair, but particularly the suggestion he was initially omitted from the squad to tour RSA for reasons other than cricketing ones.

I have heard this conspiracy..

Pakistan fixed their group match loss to Bangladesh at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh wanted some leverage to take to ICC to show they were ready for Test status, it was granted soon after this result ..

What adds to this conspiracy is that during that time, there were a lot of cricketers linked to match fixing who were active.

Saqlain Mushtaq and Saeed Ajmal are the same person. Saqlain just returned after a 5 year break, but turned to chucking. To protect his name, he took up another name, went through plastic surgery and wallah!

That Nauman Ali is only 39 years old
You know I've had this conspiracy theory about Noman Ali and Zulfiqur Babar ..
Both are left handed finger spinners and both look kinda similar , Zulfiqur is reportedly 46 years old and i feel Noman is that age too. Maybe Zulfiqur was left in Dubai made one or two changes and repackaged himself as Noman Ali.

5.Ramiz raja/pcb wanted to make babar azam Pakistani equalant of brand tendulkar /kohli so thats why they prepared roads during 2022-24
6.harby really called Symonds m***** during 07/08 bgt and sachin/bcci lied to save this village idiots career
7.there some shady stuff about sri lankan golden generation how they lost some winnable matches (like 2011 final which rajapakse made claim about giving big brother(india) gift and 09 and 12 t20 finals).only
Sanath got caught for fixing.
8.Warne was overlooked for captaincy because he was not batsmen. From benaud till pat Cummins became captain it was view of Australian establishment that only batsmen make good captains
