During the time of writing this post, the fourth ODI between was being played between England and Pakistan at Lords, London, England. Pakistan till the 47th over gad only managed to put 223 runs on the board and James Anderson was being praised by each and every commentator for his line and length and his remarkable change of pace. But then came the 49th over and James Anderson sat out to prove all the commentators and their comments wrong. He gave away 21 runs in his final over of which 20 came of the bat of Abdul Razzaq. The same Abdul Razzaq who Anderson had tied done in his previous over and only 4 runs were scored in the entire over. Then what the hell went wrong this time around?? I can give you a hint “Spot Fixing”. Over number 49 was fixed by the English Team and James Anderson.
Then we come to Over number 50, which was bowled by Tim Bresnan, this was also his last over. before this over he had only given away 41 runs in his 9 overs bowled at 4.5 runs per over. The Pakistan players have found it hard to get him away all summer. But through the history books out of the window cause he too went for exactly 21 runs, just like the previous over by Anderson. Now do you think thats a coincidence? if you do let me give you some more details. Like the last over 20 of the 21 runs came from the bat of Abdul Razzaq and 1 came from Umar Gul just like last time. To make things more interesting Gul was allowed a single on the first ball, even the power play field restrictions failed to stop the single and further more all of the next five balls were dispatched to the boundaries. Clear indications that Over number 50 bowled by England was fixed by Bresnan and the English team.
ICC has been carrying out investigations based on stories from the media, well I would like the ICC to carry out an investigation against the English Team and players based on my suspicion and based on my article and I too am providing this information before the match, i.e: before the end of the match.
Where is that Mazhar Mahmood now. whats the matter can’t use the camera against your own team? Or is it that no one is paying you to do so, otherwise you would have needed no invitations to crack the story and News of the World would have been the first one to break the news. Whats the matter Mr. Editor not getting even 50 pounds to do so, thats why you are not breaking the news?
Why would they fix it? Well in the last two overs 42 runs were scored, which took the score to 265 runs which made it a fighting and challenging total. So that now every one would watch the match, anticipating that they would get to see a nail bitter. Who would benefit from, who else the Sponsors of the Series NatWest and Sky Sports.
Even after match fixing Pakistani team manages to win the match, then it means that Pakistani is the greatest team in the world.

oh yea
………I have also bat this
ammad you must join hands with Ijaz butt in providing match fiproofs of english cricketers …:P
One more things that I would like to share is the fielding position of the 2 fielders allowed outside the circle.
Every one knows that Razzak play most of his short on offside ( cover, square, straight drive). Both the fielder outside circle were placed on leg side ( Deep mid wicket and deep mid on ), and the worst thing is that both bowlers bowled on the offside.
So this thing may serve as a strong proved for the spot fixing.
