avkash Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Lol, I just had huge argument with couple of my friends, explaining how spot fixing is rampant in the matches, but the close finishes and sudden jump in over he sees and thinks as a huge match/tournament fixing conspiracy is just foolish and now this article true, please tell me how can you fix a match to end in a last ball six, it is impossible to be hundred percent sure that the guy will surely hit a six, there is just so much that can go wrong, no way that you can fix that sort of sh*t it is funny that people think that these kind of matches are fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 it is funny that people think that these kind of matches are fixed Because these guys never played real cricket in their life. I was big hitter myself, I was used to be called by other teams in the colony to play for them, and I know it first hand about how difficult it is to hit a six on a ball when everything depended on it. The match pressure, the pressure of getting the money (assume it is fixed) is too much to make proper connection even if it is a dolly fulltoss.

Basically these kind of comments are made by people who just blindly follow the team they are supporting instead of supporting the game. People who just follow the game will never come into this kind of discussion, even though they support a particular team, they know even if their team losses, they will also think about how the other team has done well to win the match.

Yup they cant digest that their team lost, or by those who hate cricket, like that one female colleague, who hates it when cricket is discussed on lunch table, and wants to divert talk by saying, hey it was fixed.

avkash Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 No, actually its funny how you are oblivious to the fact that IPL is a "staged entertainment" just like WWF. yeah, it is really easy to fix that a bowler will bowl a low full toss which bravo will hit out of the park on the last ball, how cool, Bravo must be Superman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi90 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, I came here to just say that hitting a six on the last ball is very very easy if the match is fixed. It's not a big deal and anyone can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhi90 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You watch WWE so you should have an idea of how things can take place in such a scenario ala "wanna do a ddt" Let's just assume that the final ball is fixed,the bowler checks his run-up and whispers to the umpire nonchalantly that "slow ball off stump" or something, the umpire then passes it to the non-striker who then has a chat with the striker before the final ball and conveys the message to him. It is easy to hit a ball to the boundary when you know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 It is easy to hit a ball to the boundary when you know what to expect Nope. 8 out of 10 times that can be hit, there is still a 20% chance of missing or an edge. And if batsman misses or edges, entire fixing goes fubar. And that India TV report talks about no balls, nothing else. No balls and wides are the easiest to fix.

For the rest 20% things aren't always right and we have different outcomes and that is why IPL isn't wwe I'm not aware of any India TV report, who pays attention to that channel?

People follow the game just get over it when the team they are supporting losses and praise the other team for their efforts. But the people who madly following the team or hate the game, just keep on telling match fixing for each and every thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now read Athek's comment also, the players who have been caught in the so called sting are hardly recognisable, not even sure if they played any matches, besides nothing that they have stated is unknown, most of the guys who follow cricket know that spot fixing does take place, but they also know that spot fixing does not equal to match fixing. Poor guys would have their career cut short for bragging in front of an attention wh*re news channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket match fixing is different and most probably not as organized as you've stated but I merely meant to say that things such as 6 on the last ball are logically possible.

That lollipop full toss was It is possible to hit a 6 of a last ball, but you need to have the timing, power and perfection to clear them. Consider the match where MI won against CSK where MI chased 14 of the three balls, where 2 of the balls were low fulltoss, but it is very tough to hit those low full tosses out of the ground. But smith did it because of his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
