Pakistan underperformed to keep India Out - Pakistani MP

The head of Pakistan's national parliamentary committee on sports Jamshed Khan Dasti has accused the Pakistan team of deliberately losing to Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy in a group match to push out India from Champions Trophy and has called for changes in the national cricket board.He has demanded an explanation from its captain,coach and chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

The Parliamentary committee on sport has summoned the skipper Younis Khan, Alam and Butt to give explanation for Champions trophy defeat in South Africa.

Dasti said that team's performance against New Zealand in the semifinal match was also underperformed.

We have been told by some respected and senior people and we are also trying to collect evidence that there might have been some hanky panky in the match against Australia and New Zealand

Pakistan's last-ball defeat to Australia put India out of the Champions Trophy while their defeat to New Zealand in the semifinal came as a surprise to many.

Dasti said that defeat against Australia was purposeful but against kiwis it was surprise element.Dasti said that that the possibility of match-fixing can't be ruled out.

We have been informed by credible sources in this regard and it will be probed.
I can say we lost to Australia on purpose. And the team's performance against New Zealand was zero.We have heard a lot about match fixing allegations some people are telling us things and we also sense team didn't perform well on purpose. So we want to find out the truth.We will get to the bottom of this whole affair and find out the truth the nation must know the truth of what happened in South Africa

Dasti said the standing committee would not allow corruption in cricket.Dasti also lashed out at Butt and the team for disappointing the nation

We want to see changes in the board and Butt must go because as it is he is too old for this job

Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam and captain Younis Khan returned home Monday, while PCB chairman Ijaz Butt remained in South Africa to attend International Cricket Council meetings.Neither Younis nor Intikhab were available for their reaction to the serious allegations by Dasti which is likely to set off a whole new controversy in Pakistan cricket.

I had raised doubts during the match itself and now we have a Pakistani MP himself confirming it

C.Ronaldo

Its good that he confirmed it and expressed boldly

I knew it

But making changes

moron

They actually took the revenge of Asia Cup 2004

Where India gave more money than Pakistan to win the match (match having value of semi-final) against Srilanka

If they were strong they wouldn't have given money

They fixed it and today we didn't even gave mpney, but to turn them out, lost the match

Agnel

I really doubt if this is true

. Why would they deny their chance of getting more money?

lmao..India gave money...what a theory

ASIA Cup was won by Srilanka and not India

If they threw money to win Semifinal as U say

then why would they keep it in their pocket during the Final instead of giving it to the Lankans and winning it

C.Ronaldo

^ There they agreed to lose the finals man

and Indian Board weren't confident enough to say it boldly

Probably it was more than finals

, because they were afraid if finals would be shared again(cos usually finals are washed away by stupid rain

)

OMG

wat a theory

First they give money to win the semifinal and then lost the final on purpose even though they still have money and can still win the FINAL but they dont give

Agnel

Ronnie

Too good man

C.Ronaldo

There are so many such cases and you keep laughing about

I can give just Pakistan's example of 1999, they received money to lose teh finals of biggest Cricket tourney

and as you say, it was that India payed Srilanka to win a match of value as same as semi final to win the match and to stop Pakistan from qualifying for Final

and why didn't they won final, Srilanka weren't fool enough to take the money again and to loose a final too

That time India wasn't as much good as today and so Srilanka wasn't too easy for them to beat
