EVEN PAKISTAN Vs INDIA LEAGUE MATCH WAS FIXED? INDIA’S PERFORMANCE SAYS IT ALL (7th Oct 2009, 0110 Hrs)

EVEN PAKISTAN Vs INDIA LEAGUE MATCH WAS FIXED? INDIA’S PERFORMANCE SAYS IT ALL (7th Oct 2009, 0110 Hrs)

Now that Pakistan’s matches with New Zealand and Australia has been labeled ‘Fixed’ at the recent Champions Trophy in South Africa by Pakistani officials, one cannot definitely overlook the league match between Pakistan and India… since Pakistan won that match, it has not come into scrutiny. However, if one will look how the Indian players played… it cannot be ruled out that Dhoni and his men surely gifted away the match to Pakistan…

Sachin Tendulkar’s dismissal was so obvious that one felt he was giving catch practice session in slip area to Pakistani players… needless to say, in a crucial match, where the greatest batsman was supposed to contribute with his bat, he scored only 8 runs! Quite remarkable indeed!

Gautam Gambhir was well settled and going great guns but the way he was run out, one could see the ever hungry batsman lack of true commitment to save his wicket, while he was so near his half century. He scored 47!

Dhoni threw his wicket while scoring just 3 runs… If one will watch the repeat of his carelessness while playing the shot… well, the less said, the better.

Rahul Dravid, the rock was playing solid as usual and went onto score 76. His commitment towards country’s pride can never be challenged in any which way. However, there are suspicious and greedy characters like Harbhajan Singh, who made sure that Dravid was stranded half way so that Pakistan could have advantage. One really wonders, what was the hurry for Harbhajan Singh to coax and insist Dravid for that third run, when there was none? How much Harbhajan Singh was promised to make Dravid lose his precious wicket? Dravid’s loss was the nailing point for India to lose the match and all credit must be given to Bhajji for his true commitment towards Pakistani win.

Yusuf Pathan is another misfit in team India… whenever he is supposed to score big runs he ends up giving away his wicket cheaply… even though he is considered as the only all-rounder in the team. His score, well just 5 runs.

Raina did score 46 but then Virat Kohli, who was supposed to fill in Yuvraj Singh’s place scored only 16 runs…

Needless to say, the match surely seems to be fixed by the punters and their dismissal performance with bat and the ball clearly says it all.

Imagine Bhajji giving away 71 runs in his 10 over spell to just take just 1 wicket.

Yusuf Pathan gave away 56 runs for 1 wicket.

R P Singh got 1 wicket for giving away 59 runs…

Will BCCI look into the reality of how India lost the match against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy? Fixed or not… the poor performance surely indicates MATCH FIXING!
