The 2 matches that Kings XI won after so called wheeler deeler Chandraswami came into picture was very very weird. DD and MI performed very badly. Hard to believe that Black magic did the trick. Hard to believe that Zinta washed her sins because if that was really true they'd have won all games... A poll done on twiter shows that most people thought this weird,..how come this is not investigated
Look who is talking!! He is no "Dhoodh ka Dulara either.. AC Muthiah and his company SPIC raked crores of rupees after declaring their company as a Sick unit..Even today i met lots of people who lost either their jobs at SPIC or their investments in the company.. Muthiah & his CO are known as Cheats down South.
I hope the CBI also checks into the financial malpractices of"Muthiah & his SPIC.

AC Muthiah at least acted on match fixing scandal in 2000. Dungarpur, Lele etc. were not even willing to look into it when it was being seriously talked about in 1998 and 1999. Later on when Azhar and Jadeja were banned, there was pressure on him to lift it from govt and congress (I). The BCCI chief who succeeded him critized him for the bans. At least, he did fine in cleaning match fixing when there was all kinds of political pressure. What he did in SPIC is irrelevant to this. I am sure Azhar and Jadeaja will be still playing if he didn't ban them.

Match fixing is a cover to take revenge on BCCI specially his sworn enemy Srinivasan.What did he do regarding match fixing when he was BCCI office bearer?

AC Muthiah and Minister Dindsa cleaned it up in 2000. Remember Chandrachud's whitewash in 1998 and Lele and Dungarpur's attitudes? Only because of Muthiah and Dindsa, there was CBI enquiry and subsequent bans on Azhar and Jadeja. And also Ajay Sharma and Nikhil Chopra.
There is an article in times of India chennai edition today... it lobbys for Female umpires in IPL matches! It also says that females will can boss over the players sending crooked one out if they misbehave and add to that it says that players like Harbajan, Symonds will behave if there is a female umpire involved. I dont think these guys will be kept quiet because of a female umpire. If you have watched the match yesterday, Harbajan grab Nitu's a$$ and lift her! I think if a female umpire gives a decision in favour of him what is the gaurentee that he will not do the same thing to the umpire! Grab her a$$ and lift her up? Symoonds I dont know much about him when it comes to female but there is a likeleehood that he may lift the female umpire and go directly to the team hotel if he wins the match. Gilli may probably flirt with her on field with the help of Rohit Sharma. I dont who all have to be watched if they deploy female umpires in an IPL match: Yuvaraj, Dhoni, Bret lee, Sreeshanth, RP Singh, David warner?? gilli ??? and the list goes on!

Venu Nair, World Sports Group (WSG) has reportedly told IT officials on Friday that Multi-Screen Media (MSM) did pay WSG Rs 225 crore or $80 million as kickbacks for IPL telecast rights.
The kickback money was apparently transferred to the personal holding account of Seamus O'Brien, the founder of WSG, and not into the company's account.
O'Brien's account is operated from the Virgin Islands.
On Thursday, the Income Tax department probing alleged irregular transactions in the IPL had received "convincing evidence" of payment of "facilitation fee" to World Sports Group (WSG) by Multi-Screen Media (MSM) for acquiring T20 league's telecast rights, a senior officer said in Mumbai [ Images ].
"We have got convincing evidence of a facilitation fee of around $80 million paid by MSM to WSG," the official said on condition of anonymity.
