The Asia Cup match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and India was fixed, says a dream-land based bookie, Chulbul Satta, in an unbelievable and startling ‘bluff’, on his ‘Bluffer’ page. When approached by CrikiLeaks, Chulbul revealed that the Green Shirts threw the match deliberately, to give India breathing space in the tournament.
With India placed precariously on the points table, yesterday’s match was a must-win for them in order to stay alive in the tournament. Had India lost the match against Pakistan, they would have been out of the reckoning, leaving Pakistan to face either http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 in the final.
Chulbul revealed that the Green Shirts want revenge for their embarrassing World Cup 2011 ouster at the hands of the Men in Blue, and only thrashing India in the final will satisfy their blood-lust. For this very reason, the Pakistani players deliberately let http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 win, so they can face their arch-rivals again on the 22nd, only to mercilessly strip them of their Asia Cup title.
According to the bookie, yesterday’s match was ‘part of the plan’, and the selfless heroes who sacrificed their reputation for the bigger cause include the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961 and none other than Shahid Afridi. While other Pakistani players also did the most they could to lose the match, these three volunteered on their skipper, Misbah’s call, to lay down their reputations for the impending glory, awaiting them on the 22nd.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 to put in their best, in a bid to foil the skipper’s plan.
While the Indians were under immense pressure after the 330-run total was imposed on them, little did they know that their neighbors had planned otherwise. However, Hafeez, furthering his selfish schemes, dismissed Gambhir in the first over, much to the dismay of loyal Pakistani players, who felt all their hard work may just go to waste. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 was no slouch either, with his fiery face and bounce, he rattled the opposition, just before Misbah decided enough was enough and brought in devotees Aizaz Cheema and Wahab Riaz.
Both the pacers followed the skipper’s lead and deliberately conceded runs in order to put the Indian batsmen, especially http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, who had earlier gotten himself dismissed at 9 after wasting 15 balls (all for the bigger picture), and with exemplary self-restraint, bowled so far below his usual standard, that he should be lauded for still making it look convincing.
All in all, with only three to four selfish players to disrupt the proceedings, Misbah and his selfless party made sure that nothing went wrong, with Cheema and Wahab guaranteeing a win for India in the death overs. In a master stroke, the Pakistani players threw the match. Had it not been for the selfless efforts of several players, India would have lost the match, depriving us from the opportunity to exact a fitting revenge in the soon to come finale of the Asia Cup – Disclaimer: This is the story as Chulbul Satta revealed, it may or may not be true.
