Match Fixing

[Brookm]

Whoever saw the Pakistan v New Zealand game will know what I am talking about. Bowler throwing fours, horrible dropped catches, 100 off 5 overs..........

 

[Jono]

No

Just no. Worst ****. If this is match fixing, so was SA the other day, England before etc. etc.

 

[Brookm]

Someone had some money on New Zealand, didn't they?

Won't be the last accusation. I didn't feel anything was amiss, just **** bowling. If this is match fixing, India have been doing for more than a year already. So, India > Pakistan. I like us to be 1up on them no matter what the competition is about.

 

[Spark]

Yeah, esp. when a somewhat out-of-touch White and a horrendously out-of-nick Clarke got 84 in 5.

--

It was horrid bowling but also some extraordinary batting. They could've got 60-70 in those 5 and done bloody well.

This is why I hate the three **** ****s who did this. Everytime something out there happens in a Pakistan match, especially if it involves an unfashionable team, some cries fixing.

And with the NZ batting order, the horrible feeling buried deeply in the back of my mind is with their luck it could well be.

I'm gonna go with it was a combination of Taylor being brilliant and Pakistan losing the plot though.

Gold.

Not a fan of the racist quip but the original post was just so funny that I'm tempted to sig it anyway.

Credit must be given to Rusco for a fine innings threads like this are not good for the game! we should be focusing on the good points the innings was sheer brilliance brutal hitting!

Didn't noticed he edited the post.

Edited the quote to go back to the original.

Obvious troll is obvious.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

can someone ban this Brook guy? his posts are racist and offensive! we are here to talk cricket!

and anyone who loves cricket would appreciate what a fine knock what was from Taylor

 

[Spark]

@Flem: Indeed.

Agreed with your last post though. It's not the no balls, they are basically irrelevant. It's the whole cloud it brings over the rest of the game, and tarnishes what should be brilliant and unexpected results.

Mind you, captain terry roll here might not be the best indicator of sentiment in that regard.

Regardless,

Why, just because it happened to Pakistan? Grow up.
