Deccan Chargers vs Daredevils (May 13 ,09)
1.Catches were being dropped more frequently than runs being scored .Agreed that after all cricketers are humans and are bound to make mistakes but the Andrew Symonds catch certainly seemed funny .Slow motion replays shows his palms opening up rather intentionally as he made contact with the ball & trust me it looked very intentional.
2.Apart from that no one in their senses could understand the strategy behind sending Mr.Ravi Teja (Yes He is a cricket Player and not a BITSIAN) ahead of guys like symmo and dwayne ,especially after their recent performances.Its hard to find a valid argument for the strange batting order change.
Royal vs Mumbai Indians (May 14 ,09)
3.A decision to the above one was taken to send Mr . Takawal(or whatever) & Mr Rahane ahead of duminy ,jaysuriya & tendulkar. Isnt this done to ensure that the match goes down to the wire or atleast the match remains competitive till the last few overs ???
4.The Duminy wicket(bowled) looked fishy ...he surely played it to the stumps man :) .
Okay! Okay! I know that Duminy thing was a little over the top,forgive me ,for a Knight Rider Fan has nothing else left to do but to speculate . But guys for god sake cant u understand there is something wrong going on for sure.Doesnt it seem the game is being manipulated to have nervy endings which send TRP's rocketing sky high.There seems something fishy about these incidents.So I have decided to keep a watchful eye on the few upcoming matches ....if something turns up & my finding find more conclusive evidence ,thank me for bringing it to your notice and saving the gentleman's game from disgrace else consider this as the random ramblings of a disgruntled Kolkatta Fan who has no other olternative but to cry foul .
There is an element of doubt about matches being fixed but the scenarios above mentioned won't be due to that...Most of them were cricketing decisions with logic behind it...They failed and hence looked silly....IPL's denial to anti corruption unit can be seen as a backdoor entry of match fixing....
ReplyDeleteAgreed but i thought the decisions were too silly to be taken at the level with so much at stake .The symonds catch and duminy wicket were just randomly mentioned...newaz i do feel strongly they are fixed
