Rashid Latif and Shoaib Akhtar were involved in a panel discussion where they have raised some doubts over the validity of the England vs NZ result and have implied it was all a little fishy and efforts were made to deliberately knock out Pakistan.
Rashid said that Eng should have scored 375 after that start but barely got to 300. Had they scored those extra runs Pakistan would have had a realistic shot at qualification against Bangladesh.
They also say that NZ was helped by Eng as with NZ reeling at 4 down in the 17th over, Eng switched to Joe Root for a short spell to make it easy for NZ to get closer to an NRR saving position.
The anchor then explicitly said that world cup table was tailored and designed this way when showing the points table.
Rashid Latif then raised questions about the revised ICC big three payouts in 2017, wherein BCCI will get $250 million less than what was agreed in 2015 when the big three was set up, while all other teams will get roughly $50 million extra as per the revised payouts.
Latif asked why would the BCCI willingly take a $250 million hit. What did it get in return from the other boards? No one would want to lose $250 million for no reason. BTW ECB is1 the other board which got a hit in the revised payout plan of $40 million.
There are all Rashid's number's btw, I haven't checked or verified them.
I would post the video but I don't know if such 'pirated' videos can be posted here and at any rate, most of it is in Hindi/Urdu/non-English. However, if anyone is interested they could find video easily with an England vs NZ fix Saamanya Gyan (name of channel) search on youtube.
I found this kind of conspiracy theory laughable to say the least. However since these implied fixing allegation have been made, I thought it was worth sharing.
Thoughts?
