This. Its one thing divulging inside information or getting yourself out, but to fix an entire game in which 600+ runs were scored would be quite the operation.

I get this alot, frankly. Most Indians too are dicks when it comes to match fixing. I don't even give a shit about the Indian team and I find myself defending these allegations.
This summer, after winning the WC, I must have fought with idiots in office after every single knockout match who believed the tournament was fixed. Their argument: 'Tendulkars final WC with the final in Mumbai, and India wins is too much of a coincidence.' Seriously, wtf? How is THAT an argument? When you tell them that cricketers won't fix results considering the money they have to lose if they get caught, you get :"oh you don't know what goes on" and look at you with condescending eyes as if you're naive. No you asswipe, you're a massive postbox.
Aaargh! Fkin bastards. All of you'll. If you can't enjoy your own team winning something, go find a cave and hang yourself. If India happens to reach this final, and someone points out this may be fixed, I really hope they get butt raped by angry goats.
*Rant over*

You didn't answer my question
Of course I did. You need to pay attention.
You made this post before you knew about that Lanka Board stuff.
Australia were 21/9 in a recent test match, did you even imply in any of your posts that it was fixed?
feck off with your generalizations.
I knew about the Sri Lankan board issues. I wasn't aware they finally got paid. Christ Tony Greig shits on about it enough.
No, they were just utterly shit and it would be completely and utterly stupid to even put bets on because it would stand out like dogs balls.
Yet again, point to where I made a generalizing comment about Asians cricket teams being match fixers.
Heh.. I just ignore this buffons. No point in entertaining them.
Australia need 23 runs in 3 over to knock Sri Lanka out.
Edit and a six

India goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Wave goodbye Sachin 
No hundred in Aus, when was the last time that happened?
Only player to score a tonne for India on this tour was Kohli

Fair play to Lanka, they were the better side in the series throughout and Mahela is an excellent captain.
Wow, everything you wrote stirs up some sort of fury inside me because I know the exact feeling that flows through you when you hear this sort of thing
yeap
We are the opposite of Pakistanis in this case. When we lose it's because we are crap but when we win it's because the match was fixed.
Quality rant btw.
1st final, Warner got out on the last ball of the innings for 164. Aus finish 6/321.
Be interesting to see if Sri Lanka can get this. According to another forum I visit, no team has ever chased a 300+ total and won a tri series final game in Aus.

Brett Lee I love him, I wanna boof him, get him up here!
I love him, I wanna boof him, get him up here!What a mighty effort from the Sri Lankans to come so close, Kulasekara in particular. Game was all over at 6/144 but to smash their way to 306 would surely give our bowlers a good wake-up call.
Patto and Hilfy were extremely poor. Doherty only gets some form of exemption because of his tidy overs.
Why does it take a 35 year old Brett Lee and two all rounder to get the wickets? when they're 6/144.
