India's success in 2011 World Cup delighted not just the entire cricket-mad nation but most especially the cricket online betting sites. But we all know that their victory was not exactly an option for the India cricket team, as their countrymen expected them to win and to blow away the obvious disadvantage of playing on home soil. As we all know, no team had ever won the championship in their own country. Then, 28 years of trophy hunger was finally answered. However, the new match fixing allegations threaten to blemish India's success. Not to mention the negative publicity from the Pakistani's match fixing, these issues comes at a very bad time.
Sports Illustrated India casts their doubts upon their team's success, as the ugly display of match fixing backs its head.
Anyone who says that the issue of match fixing is over when the heavy bans dished out to fast bowlers Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Amir and former Pakistan captain Salman Butt is a naïve fool. Until today, none of these allegations seemed to cobble up. We all know the story of wicketkeeper Zulquarnain Haider, but for the benefit of those who don't know here's what happened to him. He reportedly flee from the tournament in Sharjah and seeked refuge in England, saying that his life had been threatened by some sportsbook after refusing to fix matches, yet Mr. Haider provided no evidence to support his story, ending him up in Pakistan few months after the incident. Haider is not the only one who seeked refuge from those said sportsbook that threatened the life of the players, as Sri Lankan captain Hashan Tillakaratne allegedly suffered the same situation after a few months too. Yet, like Haider, Tillakaratne presented no evidence to support his story too.
Each season and each year, more and more players confess their worries about these bodies that tries to fix matches and threatens their lives. But like any other incidents, they too can't present hard evidences. Sad to say, this article itself is frustratingly ambiguos and vague, as no names can be mentioned behind the said allegations. But one thing is for sure, there really are some big Indian politicians out there who can give us the answers we want, after admitting to betting in the India-Pakistan semi-final match-up.As we all know, betting is illegal in India.
The phrase that will loathe the India team is that, there are bookmakers who admits the participation of two players in the side who were eager to fix game throughout the duration of the tournament. These players were warned off when the Cricket controlling body in India (BCCI) got wind of it. The assumption is that, it was in the semi-finals of the tournament where players were tempted to be cprrupted with the high stakes bookmakers offered to put their national team's honor and prestige behind for their personal gain.
Another World Cup match-up that falls under the suspicion of game fixing was the game of West Indies. India played a full strength side in that game. The West Indians on the other hand, strangely left out opening batsman and their fsat bowler Kemar Roach and former team captain Chris Gayle. Gayle is one of the most effectively destructive bastmen in that particular game, but just hit two centuries in first three appearances for the Bangalore's Royal Challengers in India premiere League. Roach throughout that tournament, had been their team's best bowler.
Whoever won the game would be facing Australia, the defending World Champions in the quarter-finals, and this match-up can really make a huge buzz in online sports betting websites. Losers will have an easier game, as they will face Pakistan. Choosing a weakend side hoping for possible tie next time out is a century-old trick. The score here, accorind to Sports Illustrated, is that bookmakers knew that West Indian Team before any of the public and press did, thus makin a good killing on game's results.
