PCB to ask ICC to investigate Shane Warne for India-England match prediction
The Pakistan Cricket Board has raised questions over the controversial prediction from the former Australian cricketer Shane Warne which he gave before the start of the match between India and England.
PCB will ask the International Cricket Council to investigate the matter and find out the truth.
The ICC World Cup 2011 was glorified with a nail biting finish in the India-England match, which resulted in a tie. However, the outcome of the match was guessed correctly by Warne.
The legendary player Tweeted before the start of the match, “Looking forward to the game between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and England today, it should be a cracker. My prediction is a tie!”
The chairman of PCB http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128 was surprised by the prediction and said that it was hard to believe that someone could make such an accurate forecast. He further stated, “We will raise the matter and ask the ICC to conduct a fair inquiry into the matter.”
However, several former Pakistan cricketers said that there would be no action taken by the ICC over Warne’s comments as he was an Australian. Former Pakistan captain Amir Sohail said that if any Pakistani had made such remarks, it would have prompted a
lot of attention from the ICC.
Another former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 said that such comments should be avoided as they can lead to a lot of controversies. However, Moin said that Warne’s prediction may have only been a hunch.

However, the Australian team denied such reports and wicketkeeper batsman Brad Haddin claimed that there was no investigation being done, as the match had nothing suspicious about it. He further added that it was their strategy to keep wickets in hand in
the early stages of the match.
