Back in the day this was the Everest of match fixing, in fact a guy (ed Hawkins) wrote a whole book based on their 2011 WC game. Today it may be different - hope so[/quote]<br><br>
Based on reading that book I can't see a Pakistani win, tho it will be close to make it seem legitimate.<br><br>
Possibly the Indian govt and the Pakistani mafia involved too

<p>That book has ruined my innocence Sammy, only a Paki win will seem legit :)</p> -

<p>It's either that, coincidence or a lack of cricketing intelligence. How many times in limited overs cricket are the Aussies going to let us in a game by slogging out? Even in the World Cup final, Warner got out to a shot he should not have played.</p> -
<p>Yeah the only disrespect Australia are guilty of is disrespecting the game and what's worked for 150 years</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They've had a diet of good paced pitches, and methods where if you hit the ball hard enough to go for 4 or 6 you'll generally score 160 plus BBL and home series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It wasn't until it was too late that Smith and co thought along the lines of, we should be nudging it around on this packed, rolled mud square, as evidenced by his after match comments. As it was they nearly pinched the game with 2 overs to go. It required good percentage bat on ball contact, rather than brute force and lavish swinging</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Play them at Wankhede where Eng and SA played and they'll canter to a victory</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No disrespect, just out thought by Kane the Brain :)</p> -

<p>This pitch is more ridiculous than the Nagpur one. In hindsight you'd play 4 spinners and 1 seamer</p>

<p>You say that but Pakistan have dropped a spinner to bring in a 4th seamer.</p>

<p>Sorry, I'll stop casting aspersions but there will be potentially billions riding on this match, well hundreds of millions anyway</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Billions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched the intersting documentary 'death of a gentleman' the other night. The average sum bet PER MATCH on IPL is $2BN (presumably USD).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, yeah. Lots.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: Surely that has to be rupee... so maybe only tens of millions. <only>. </p>
