Match Fixing
by sweet orange on May 19, 2009 02:57 PM

IPL and Lalit Modi are taking the people of India for a ride. It is clear that few of the matches were fixed. Example: 1)Strong batting side like Mumbai cant even chase 120 @ 6 runs/over against not so strong punjab attack minus bret lee. 2) Mumbai cant score 4 runs from 6 balls and a bad bowler like munaf patel concedes only one run that over whereas he goes for nothing less than atleast 12 runs/over usually. 3) Deccan needed only 4 runs in 5 balls and Rohit sharma throws away his wicket as if he doesnt know how to play and with 5 wickets still in hand deccan cant manage to score just 4 runs in last over. 4) Non regular bowlers like rohit sharma and yuvraj singh take hatricks repeatedly as if it a joke for them. 5) Teams do well till the 18th over and suddenly they throw away the game to the opposition. Teams have been losing from winning positions and winning from losing positions. Such things happen in cricket but not as frequently as they have happened in IPL 2. So guys watch IPL only for time pass and dont get sentimental like the people of Mumbai did during Mumbai - rajasthan match which was certainly fixed. Jayasuriya batted as if he is new to International cricket!!!!
