Seems like a betting scam has been going on.

When I first read that question I thought what are you on?
Once I read about a betting scam my mind changed. You could well be right mate. If you are then we might find out in a few year's time. I must admit I would like to watch the highlights and see how the Pakistan wickets were taken.
Good point mate.

I don't think they throw the game, all you need to look at is how Pakistan played on tour to SA, I was not surprised as in the warm up to the world cup, Ireland almost beating the current #1. I don't believe it had to do with match fixing.

With the latest News coming out of the Game and the previous History of the team, I would have to say Yes. But I hope not, otherwise the whole tournament will be remembered for the wrong thing.

Ooooh controversial! There is definitely something odd going on though. The police in Jamaica are now classing Woolmers death as murder - it would appear there is a link between the two. Apparently Woolmers biography contained details of match fixing and would have blown the whistle on those involved if it hadn't mysteriously vanished. Who knew Cricket was so exciting?

Its fashionable to criticize anything to do with Islam or a Islamic Country. Did the Pakistan team throw a match – it’s the Pakistan Team and they have done it before so they must have done it this time. Purely going by that, what about South Africa and India – both sides which have seen their leading players banned for throwing matches. The only entity responsible for all of this ICC the managing body for cricket. The over commercialization of cricket and the total failure of ICC to bring in measures to check match fixing. In a wider context you have match fixing in Football, Baseball, American Football, etc it’s Too-Much money problem. Sports that are less commercialized are faring better. So this is not a Nationality issue – this is a Money issue and we will all be a lot better off with fewer racial bigots who see all problems as racially originated - memories of Germany in 1940 are still fresh on what that approach can lead to.

Yes, I do. Look at how they got out. Many looked like they opened the face to guide the ball, or hit up in the sky...
Hafeez - looked Genuine. Good ball outside off stump.
Younis - Dubious. Poked at a short wide one that he didn't need to...
Youseuf - dubious/bad shot. Slashed at a wide one. Caught behind point.
Inzamaam - very dubious. Opened the face and guided to slip.
Nazir- very dubious. Opened the face and guided to slip.
Malik. Bad shot. Looked like trying to guide to slip, but to keeper instead.
Mahmood - dubious/Bad shot. Hit up in sky.
Kamran - dubious/Bad shot. Hit up in sky.
Sami - dubious. Padddled out to fielder in the deep. Even opened face while playing it to make sure it went high (why would you play that shot when you're that many wickets down?)
Gul - dubious/Bad shot. Hit up in sky.
