They may fine India $10k after India win the tournamentThis story has gone global.
ICC should respond and punish India if true.
Blatant cheating from an international body to try tilt the game in their favour.
Might is right!!! They can do whatever they want, if others capable to stop it good luck with that. No IPL contract!!!!It’s over.
Like I said, India/BCCI are the bad guys in the ICC multiverse.
Hope this crooked board’s team never lifts a trophy ever again.
No tolerance for cheating as a Pakistan cricket fan.
Never again.
This has been the story for every ICC tournament. How many trophies does India own?I saw a video months ago India will be winning this tournament. Its all fixed.
Both teams will play on the same pitch. Whoever plays better will win.
To all Pakistani and one particular New Zealand fan crying - who asked New Zealand pacers to let India score 89 in 11 overs?
If it was a “slow” pitch, India would be struggling to time the ball and this would have become a 250-270 game which it is not unless there is a monumental collapse on India’s part.
How is this a slow pitch if India are on their way to another 330+ total?
I know more about this game than all Pakistani fans put together. The last thing I need are lectures from Pakistani fans who cannot accept the harsh reality that India is clearly the best team at this World Cup regardless of the state of the pitch.Used pitch doesn't mean a slow one necessarily. It is also the amount of wear and tear which aids the spinners. India is obviously more adept at using these conditions.
It has been made clear that India vs NZ is played on a used pitch and change has been made at the behest of Indian team management which amounts to nothing but cheating in an ICC tournament.
I know more about this game than all Pakistani fans put together. The last thing I need are lectures from ignorant, delusional, bitter and jealous Pakistani fans who cannot accept the harsh reality that India is clearly the best team at this World Cup regardless of the state of the pitch.
They have all bases covered and there is pretty much no weakness in this team that can be exploited by others, they will win this World Cup unless they self-destruct.
New Zealand is an average team right now. You have to be when you lose to a joke team like Pakistan in spite of putting 400 on the board.
Unless it is a green wicket with the ball swinging and seaming all over the place - which will not happen in this part of the world unless it is a day game with overcast conditions - New Zealand stand no chance of beating India here.
They put up a big fight against India in Dharamshala which is 15 to 17 degrees colder than Mumbai and the extra moisture helps the seamers. In Mumbai, they have pretty much no chance of beating India regardless of the pitch.
Please stop crying and stop embarrassing yourself with all this pitch this and that nonsense. There is no point in moaning if your team is not capable enough to out-bat and out-bowl India.
New Zealand bowlers have bowled absolute filth so far and they would have been hammered irrespective of the pitch that is being used.
However, I’m happy for fans like you because now you have something to cling onto and use as coping mechanism if India wins this World Cup.
I must've been watching something else then, when England recieved a target of 224 in the semifinal and 243 in the final. Those are some flat pitches.England sucks anywhere other than flat pitches with no swing, seam, even slight turn. That is how they won world cup. You don't need special pitch.
You really do let your imagination run wild sometimes.I have never seen a “slow” pitch play like this. Where is the slowness?
Slow pitch is what Pakistan got against England in the 2017 CT semifinal. Now that is what you call blatant cheating.
It was carefully designed to favor Pakistan and boost the chances of a Pakistan vs India final $$$$
Yes I can.I'm not wading into the debate here before more facts emerge.
You really do let your imagination run wild sometimes.
Can you please remind us what Pakistan's ODI record is against England on slow UAE pitches ?
If Pakistan was good enough to make the semifinals by winning 9 games on the trot, I wouldn’t have any issues because I would know that Pakistan doesn’t need to tinker with the pitch to win.India would have probably won even if it didn’t doctor the pitches to their advantage, but India doing so puts a big asterisk on their win - and rightly so!
If Pakistan would have done what India did here, you and the Indian posters would have been all up in arms and called it a cheating. The problem with you isn’t your positions or your bias, it’s the moral inconsistencies which punctuate your arguments. You have one set of rules for India & another for everyone else. At some point, it becomes a parody - which it is lately.
Hahaha.The ICC governing body released a statement, suggesting changes were not uncommon.
“Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and has already happened a couple of times,” it read.
“This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host.
“The ICC independent pitch consultant was apprised of the change and has no reason to believe the pitch won’t play well.”

Your allegations would hold a pinch of salt if it was a square turnr and India were struggling to score. Over 350 ina WC SF is a belter. But loving you guys cryEveryone already knew India would use murky tactics to win this WC at all costs.
The lack of an ICC trophy was a huge elephant in the room for the worlds richest board.
The majority of Indian fans are too blindsided to realise that the BCCI execs were too busy cashing cheques than to develop cricket in the country.
By cheating the BCCI can continue to pull the wool over their own fans and milk the cash cow for the foreseeable future.
This WC was a formality. Nobody could compete with India when they have been given every advantage you could possibly imagine.
Whatever happens this is a fake WC win and no tournaments held in India should be given any credence going forward.
Lovely
“This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host.
The fact of the matter is that India went underhand to try and take as much advantage as possible at the detriment of other teams.Your allegations would hold a pinch of salt if it was a square turnr and India were struggling to score. Over 350 ina WC SF is a belter. But loving you guys cry

Guess that Atkinson fellow got his pitch after all. A batting paradiseSlow, rigged wicket where nearly 400 runs were scored
The same Ramiz who's in India trying to earn some small changeafter ramiz humiliated them by saying despite IPL they cant win anything, they had to try something to win
They can score 400 and win the match on unfair pitch nowFeeling sad for NZ.
On a fair pitch they would have bowled Bharat out for 150/200
Rohit and Kohli need to perform in a WC final I guess. Not sure. I'm confused like some of them are.I just came here for some fun. What's the latest one now?
Two brief points in reply:Yes I can.
In 2015 series, Pakistan beat England comfortably in the first ODI on a slow wicket before England got used to the pace and beat Pakistan in the next 4 ODIs.
In ICC tournaments in one-off games, Pakistan would always have an advantage over a team like England on those wickets.
If it was a series Pakistan would have lost to England on that Cardiff pitch, but that one-off situation gave Pakistan considerable advantage.
England would have beat Pakistan with ease on a flat deck and I don’t see any Pakistani fans complaining about the slowness of the wicket.
NZ team searching him nowGuess that Atkinson fellow got his pitch after all. A batting paradise
Terrific especially the last line... That sums up all the pessimstic attitude of most Pakistani fans!I know more about this game than all Pakistani fans put together. The last thing I need are lectures from Pakistani fans who cannot accept the harsh reality that India is clearly the best team at this World Cup regardless of the state of the pitch.

Wow. Bro used pitch is slow cause of the wear and tear, plenty proof will be seen when Indian bowlers come on.Used pitch doesn't mean a slow one necessarily. It is also the amount of wear and tear which aids the spinners. India is obviously more adept at using these conditions.
It has been made clear that India vs NZ is played on a used pitch and change has been made at the behest of Indian team management which amounts to nothing but cheating in an ICC tournament.
Kohli and Rohit will have the last laugh. I grant it is funny imagination as far name is concerned. Wild Imagination neverthelessKohli and Rohit need to perform in a WC final I guess. Not sure. I'm confused like some of them are.
That's not the reason why we did not do well (upto expectations actually) in those tournaments. We (unlike you) accept that there were issues in our team and hence we could not go all the way. The reason why this team is doing so well is because of the strength in this team with all issues covered... This team is capable of winning everywhere... SENA conditions will actually strengthen this team even further because of the potent fast bowling unit it possesses!The fact of the matter is that India went underhand to try and take as much advantage as possible at the detriment of other teams.
The result is immaterial.
Nobody will recognise an Indian victory in this WC now.
There’s a reason why you’ve failed to win every ICC trophy held outside of your country where you can’t get away with shamelessly cheating.
Standard procedure in knockouts.None of the Indian posters have an explanation for why pitch was changed
The moment boult and southee started bowling, I knew it was changed in PP. I suspect Atkinson is also on PP but hiding now else he would have answered better than meNone of the Indian posters have an explanation for why pitch was changed
Then why mr Atkinson wasn't informed. In that email he has also expressed concerns that if India reach final this might happen againStandard procedure in knockouts.
We don't need to provide any explanation because nothing will be good enough.
Please refer latest ICC statement on this issue,
Though it doesn't come with a tissue.
Looks to me that BCCI have been caught with their pants down on the pitch, so they perhaps haven’t risked giving their ‘special balls’ to the team this time.Nothing wrong with the pitch. Ball is coming on nicely for both Conway and Rachin .
World's worst fast bowling nation won 2 tours of Australia on Aussie turf.Looks to me that BCCI have been caught with their pants down on the pitch, so they perhaps haven’t risked giving their ‘special balls’ to the team this time.
The long and short of it is there is no doubt India have been cheating this entire time.
The worlds worst fast bowling nation in history is suddenly transformed into the greatest in the world.
It’s surely not a coincidence that this is happening on their home turf in a tournament where the home board is proven to be heavily overinvolved with administration….
If India win this WC it will be meaningless. 2023 will be the first World Cup in history which the fans will consider does not count.
And going forward any tournaments held in India may as well be classed as exhibitions.
Very well put.The lengths BCCI fanboys go to to try and justify outright intent to cheat is quite frankly disappointing.
The intention and attempt to gain an edge is enough for them to be slammed - no matter the result.
If a player got caught in attempting to tamper the ball but the ball ended up not swinging would it be enough for charges to be dropped?
If a player conspired to bowl a no ball for money, bowled a massive no ball but the umpire didnt call it - is it ok?
This is true in all aspects of life not just cricket...And we see Indian fans desperately trying to defend the indefensible.
Which means that both sides have been given a fair chance, as the coin toss gives equal chances to both.Host ICC tournaments okay. But kindly give chance to both sides to make it entertaining. All pitches here have been win toss, bat first, win match.
You know the results in every match within first 10 overs of the team batting 2nd.
ICC Rule book:
There is no ICC requirement which states that knockout fixtures must be played on fresh pitches. The only stipulation in their pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process reads: "It is expected that venues that are allocated the responsibility of hosting a match will present the best possible pitch and outfield conditions for that match".
Sluggish pitch where Lockie Ferguson is hitting cutters for sixes. Haan bhai. Anything else you want to add?Last 20 overs the semi final pitch truly behaved like a used one. Such a sluggish pitch.
Still no explanation why India had to resort to such blatant cheating.
2019 semis were both played on fresh pitch
One six bhaiSluggish pitch where Lockie Ferguson is hitting cutters for sixes. Haan bhai. Anything else you want to add?
