ICC CWC 2011 Totally Fixed?

There are many shocks in this world cup which have never happened so often.

We'll discuss some points which shows that this world cup could be the world cup of bookies.

1)It all started with the India vs England match played on 27th of Feburary.Before the match the Australian leg-spinner and ex-cricketer Shane Warne tweeted that the match would be a tie and what a coincidence? It was a nail biting end to the match and the match was ended as a tie.

2).In the 2003 world cup match between Sri Lanka and Kenya.Kenya gave them a target of 210 and in reply Sri Lanka was bowled out for 157 in 45 overs.Now this looks like a upset.

But when Ireland chased down 300 plus in front of a team which has been on its peak from the last two to three years.It was quite shocking.Ireland's kevin 'O Brien made a blisstering century which made them register a great win.

3)The match between India and South Africa.The Indian batting was going on so well that at one time they were aiming at 350 plus,there score was 267 for 1 when their bad time was started and I think it is almost impossible to believe that India was all out under 300 and they lost 9 wickets for just 29 runs what a conincidence that was?

4)Now the recent match which took place between England and West Indies.West Indies got England all out for 245 runs.In reply they played well and at the end of the match when they only needed around 22 runs in 9 overs with three wickets in hand.They got all out at 44.4 overs for 225 runs.A non-test playing nation can also play sensibly at that point of time in the match how could a team lose a winning match totally from their hand so easily.

A lot more coincidence are awaited.But how could it happen so many times?A team which has a match totally in its hand and everyone is thinking that the team playing well will win and all of a sudden there is a turn around and the match is totally on the other side.All these things are pointing towards the same thing.That bookies are involved in this world cup big time.

Yuvraj To The Rescue ICC CWC 2011

Yuvraj Singh's 51 runs help India beat Netherlands by 5 wickets.Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat first but it doesn't turn out to be a good decision for Netherlands as they got all out in 46.4 overs the captain Peter Borren made a contribution of 38 runs from 36 balls while the other top scorers for Netherlands were Tom Cooper 29 of 47 Eric Szwarczynski 28 of 42 balls

In reply India was also in problems but Yuvraj Singh's 51 runs from 73 balls helped them grab another win,the other highlights of India's batting were Sehwag with 39 runs from 26 balls,Gautam Gambhir 28 from 28 balls.India chased the target in 36.3 overs and won the match from 5 wickets.India is currently placed at the top of Group B of the ICC CWC 2011.

West Indies VS Bangladesh ICC CWC 2011

West Indies ripped Bangladesh off as they won by 9 wickets in the match 19 of the cricket world cup 2011 at Dhaka.

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first but it doesn't seemed to be a right decision by bangladesh captain.

Bangladesh started losing thier wickets from the start of the innings and no one was able to play a big innings and the whole team was booked for 58 runs in 18.5 overs.The top scorer from bangladesh was Junaid Siddique with 25 runs of 27 balls.

In reply West Indies chased the target very easily with loss of 1 wicket Devon Smith was the player who got out.He made 6 runs of 12 balls while Gayle and Darren Bravo chased the target down in 12.2 overs Gayle made 37 runs of 36 balls while Bravo played a steady innings of 9 runs from 26 balls.

India vs England Match fixed?

One of the most exciting match in the cricket world cup 2011 till now is India vs England match took place at Banglore Chinnaswamy Stadium on sunday 27th of Feb.Before 9 hours of the match the ex-Australian Leg-Spinner shane warne tweeted that his prediction is that the match would be a tie and his prediction was correct the match was a tie.
How could the prediction be so accurate.At the last ball of the match when England needed 2 runs in 1 ball Greame Swann played a cover drive and they ran just one run and stop although the batsmen are aware of the rules that they might have tried for the second run because the first run always counts if a batsman get runout during the second run but they didn't do so.

Many people are claiming that the match was fixed and all these things pointing that it was fixed.
