Should ICC/SLC investigate Sri Lanka's 317 run ODI loss to India?

One more for ICC to check

==


Isle of Man registered the lowest team score in the men's T20I as they were bowled out for a mere 10 runs in their T20I match against Spain. Chasing a target of 11 runs, Spain finished the match in just two balls. Isle of Man fell below Sydney Thunder, who were bowled out for 15 against Adelaide Strikers in the BBL earlier this year.

Turkey previously held the record for the lowest T20I score when they were bowled out for 21 against the Czech Republic.

Mohammad Kamran and Atif Mehmood picked up four wickets each, including a hat-trick by Kamran, that helped Spain humiliate the Isle Of Man.
Kamran started in fine fashion by dismissing Adam McAuley off the first ball. Mehmood then trapped George Burrows lbw before Kamran knocked off Luke Ward, Edward Beard, and Christian Webster on consecutive balls to reduce the score to 5 for 4.

Mehmood then dismissed Jacob Buttler and Joseph Burrows before Burns dismissed Fraser Clarke. Clarke's 12-ball duck ensured that the team reached the ninth over of the inning. Burns then dismissed Kieran Cawte to wrap up the innings.

In reply, Joseph started with a no-ball to Awais Ahmed. The following two balls were smashed over the boundary to seal a remarkable win and a 5-0 sweep.

Should ICC investigate Sri Lankan team.. How can they let NZ win this ? Did BCCI paid SLC off to qualify for the WTC finals ?

So predictable.

31/6.

Does that sound normal to you?

If it was Shaheen or Naseem having these figures you would have been saying something else.. So yeah pretty normal. Such spells have happened in the past and will happen in the future as well.

Something fishy for sure. 3 batters in top 5 ranking and team hardly made 100. And Pakistan do have recent history of fixing by players in international cricket.

That can happen

How many games have you seen with a score 39/7? International games, finals.

there have been plenty in the history right? India were 17-5 in 1983 and have been 54 AO in Sharjah.
SA were 15-5 in T20I last year vs India. I expect you to know this of all the people.

Not sure why you are getting so offensive.

Think you are forgetting where you are posting.

Watch yourself.

As for your 54 AO, I would suggest even that should have been checked, especially if in Sharjah.

well that way every 5-fer should be invesigated i suppose. I am just asking for your opinion and why you think a great spell is suspect for fixing?
 
i dont understand, if a team is playing suspicious cricket why do Indians get offended? No one is labelling India, its the opposition who is being questioned.
 
Just a few days ago, the Lankans were toying with the Pakistani bowling. They aren’t this bad , it’s really suspicious stuffs

Because by calling it fixing (alleged), you are taking away the aspect of good performance of the opposition. Hence, in this case of today's match, Indians do have the right to get offended.

Because it demeans the performance of Indian players. As if to say that Indians can never play well, if they do something exceptionally good it must be because it is fixed.

As a Pakistani fan how would you react if someone says 2017 Champions Trophy final was fixed, or the 1992 World Cup final, or any match where some Pakistani player gave a brilliant performance, like Kamran Akmal's rearguard in Mohali and Karachi. Don't you think such baseless accusations would belittle the achievements of Fakhar Zaman, Amir, Inzi, Akram, Kamran in those matches.

I don't see these accusations here when India does badly. Never seen people say the 36 all out was fixed or India's 8/4 start in the 2019 World Cup semi final.

because you are implying that Indian players are not good enough. Its like questioning Afghanistan when they were all out against Pakistan for 54 which can happen as Rauf bowled really well.
 
Are we also asking to investigate the biggest defeat for Pakistan vs India. I mean if size of the defeat is a factor then that should also be considered, no ?
 
MenInG said:
50 all out.

If that is not suspicious, what is?

This is not a loss over 30 overs etc

Completely agree. Looks weird but then ICC doesn't define suspicious by the result but by corroborative evidence. Pakistan getting out to 128 on a track on which India got 350+. Is that suspicious ?

What nationalism? How about appreciating good cricket?

When we got bowled out for 36 in Adelaide, nobody said fixing. Everyone praised Cummins and Hazlewood.

India has been humiliated plenty of times, recently against Australia at home where the visitors won in 12 overs in an ODI match, any fixing accusation then?
 
Fixing used to be subtle. But Pak getting out for 128, India losing to Bangladesh and now SL getting blown over for 50. All three are fixed games. Yes it's funny and BCCI can now walk on water but they need to respect other teams a bit. Make it less blatant.

I think you are deliberately not understanding the point, futile to engage with you. Your point will be valid if this thread is bumped every time a one-sided match happens. Not just when India wins handsomely.
 
This pitch is looking very batting friendly, how can SL get 50 all out lol. Tbf india destroyed us with the bat and even we made around 128. But 50!?! In your home town that’s messed up.
 
I think before investigating the final, ICC ACU should investigate how the number 1 team with the number 1 batsman and number 1 WK and number 1 fast bowling attack including Mr. They Cannot Play Him could lose to India by 228 runs.
 
OP has a point....these kind of matches looks very fishy, especially when a top side like SL underperforms and gets folded for 50 runs. However, since Jay Shah is the head of ACC, no investigation will EVER take place and we will never get to know the truth.
 
To be honest Indian bowlers bowled very well. SL batsmen couldn't play swing deliveries.
 
Lol so just because we saw the srivlanka beong suspicious now after one week indians realize that oh pakistani innings was suspicious ..... Loll petty

You will have to take "something" as base. For some, it could be religion, for some others, it could be nation, for some it could be the job. It's all about perspective.

Because it is the deep insecurity which is the driving force of some padosis here where they live in the denial of their padosi achieving something. If padosi wins something, then bring allegation of fixing in order to malign the superior performance of the padosi while making themselves believe that it's fixing which is the root cause of the outcome.

Such deep seated insecurity is unhealthy in my opinion.
 
sour grapes :) India has demolished SA, England, SL, Pakistan in the last year or two like this. Full strength India has a much balanced attack to exploit any kind of conditions. Only time they failed was when they played second string bowlers. Even then they are no worse than other sides. IN Trivandrum SA was 9/5 against Arshdeep and Chahar. So the SA fixed the game?
 
Sunil Gavaskar on this topic:

"What a tight slap on the faces of all those across the Western border who were screaming and shrieking that Bharat after being dismissed for 213 against Sri Lanka was purposely losing the game so as to deprive Pakistan of a place in the final. Did these brainless people even think of the possibility that after Bharat loses the game to Sri Lanka and then Pakistan beat Sri Lanka and the Bharat v Bangladesh game gets rained off, it was Bharat who would not have qualified for the final. So why would Bharat lose deliberately to Sri Lanka? Morons,"

"When Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka and were knocked out of the tournament, we were expecting some more conspiracy theories blaming Bharat for the loss, but surprises never cease so they forgot everything else and concentrated on lambasting their skipper Babar Azam for their exit from the tournament."

Sunny used such language? I'm surprised.
 
Sometimes it is hard to separate incompetence from malfeasance.

Lanka were mentally finished after that 4 wkt over because of 2 brain fades from Asalanka and de Silva. Else they would have edged their way to a 150-180 score.

Even in India vs Pak, only from seeing scorecard ppl can raise questions on Fakhar 27(50) inns and general batting approach while chasing 350.
But reality is that Pak were mentally checked out by the beginning of their inns. Babar dismissal killed any small hope of fighting and Fakhar was probably just trying to play time to get back in nick
 
Another match today which should certainly provoke an investigation by the ICC and SLC.
 
How about losing 8 wickets for 36 runs? Surely that needs to be investigated as well
 
Maybe they should investigate this WC match as well?

Just admit Sri lanka have no clue how to play Indian pacers, no more drama.
 
ICC / Sri Lanka board must investigate Today world cup match between india and Sri Lanka where Sri Lanka lost 7 wickets just for 22 runs
 
Maybe you fellas should check the first over. Check how bumrah swung the ball from the first ball. Investigate all you want but all you will conclude that the Indian pace attack far exceeds any attack in the world.
 
Just respect and appreciate how good the Indian team is. They are a different beast in home conditions, even during the 90s when they were quite a weak team overall, they still were close to unbeatable at home. Right now they have WC players, they just to out there and express their skills.

Not enough. We want next year's T20 world cup as well. Will we be ok if they just hand the trophy to us? No. We need to humiliate teams and make money while at it. Sorry you had to endure all the pain but it's all part of the process of manipulation. At least it has to look real.
 
India's whipping boys.

Sri Lanka has played India 6 times this year in ODIs:

Lost by 302 runs
Lost by 10 wickets
Lost by 41 runs
Lost by 317 runs
Lost by 4 wickets
Lost by 67 runs
 
From 29th October:

Sri Lanka's sports minister accused the country's top cricket administrators of being "traitorous and corrupt" Saturday, escalating a bitter row between the government and officials running the island's most popular sport.

Minister Roshan Fernando and the national cricket board -- the richest sporting body in the country -- have been at loggerheads over corruption allegations for months.

The dispute could see the International Cricket Council (ICC) suspend Sri Lanka, which would deprive it of the opportunity to host international competitions.

"The spirit of the game has been overwhelmed by a handful of people who are motivated only by money," said Fernando.


"I call the current conduct of Sri Lankan Cricket officials shameless, traitorous, and unfaithful to the cricket-loving community of Sri Lanka."

His comments came in a letter to the ICC, which has reportedly threatened to suspend Sri Lanka Cricket over alleged political interference by the minister.

A 260-page government audit highlighted widespread corruption in Sri Lanka's participation at last year's T20 World Cup in Australia.

The minister appointed a three-member panel to probe malpractice in the cricket administration, which denied the allegations and refused to cooperate, pointing to the ICC rules on political meddling.

Fernando withdrew the inquiry.

"The decision of Sri Lanka Cricket officials to remain in their offices even after the government audit... is a clear display of the unethical and shameless attitude they carry," he said in his letter to the ICC, asking for its support to tackle corruption.

Sri Lankan cricket has been embroiled in multiple allegations of graft and match-fixing over the years, with the ICC itself penalising several players and officials.

The country has not won the cricket World Cup since its sole victory in 1996, with Fernando blaming the board for the "deterioration" of standards since then.

Another cabinet minister, Prasanna Ranatunga, told parliament in August that Sri Lanka's 1996 win turned out to be a "curse" in disguise and led to corruption.

"The World Cup victory was the biggest curse for our cricket," said Ranatunga, a younger brother of Arjuna Ranatunga, who skippered Sri Lanka to victory in 1996.

"Money started flowing to the cricket board after 1996 and with that came those who wanted to steal."

Sri Lanka cricket is going the path of the West Indies. Bangladesh is a perennial minnow and is now worse than new entrants Netherlands and Afghanistan. Pakistan continues to be a mediocre team.

It’s unfortunate, but cricket can’t seem to grow and while people can blame the so-called “Big Three” and the advent of T20, the fact remains that cricket is a sport in retreat.

Sri Lanka cricket's decline has not been caused by India.

All these countries including Pakistan need to take a good hard look at themselves.
 
Whilst at it throw in asia cup finals, the win by india in early 2023 by 300 odd runs vs SL in trivandrum, the ocean currents and tidal waves that BCCI control because of which it swung so much in trivandrum, colombo , lucknow and yesterday in bombay, the chemicals they applied on the roller when pitch was rolled mid innings in lucknow -as per the all knowing Pak media which caused indian bowlers to wreak havoc, the balls that have extra lacquer whcih caused the two Mo's to wreak havoc when we bolwed - off couse the BCCI owns this and also the el nino effect, why human beings cannot solve the issue of common cold leave alone the virus, beached whales, why a lot of kids go hungry at night, cure for cancer, the lack of fizz in ya soda....and counting :ua

Sri Lankan media seem to slam the national cricket team after the disastrous match against India in WC 2023.

Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe last week, revealed the salaries which are being paid for the coaching staff. According to him, Head Coach Chris Silverwood is being paid a monthly salary of US$ 30000, while the Consultant Coach Mahela Jayawardane collects US$ 20,000. Amid all the embarrassing batting displays of Sri Lanka, Assistant Coach Naveed Nawaz earns US$ 14,000. According to the details provided by the Minister the whole coaching staff is being paid close to 120,000 US$ monthly, and for what?!
=====================================================================

Sri Lanka perhaps does not have the best of memories playing at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The pictures of Sri Lanka not being able to clinch their second 50-over World Cup 12 years ago, would forever haunt the Sri Lankan fans - that memorable M. S. Dhoni sixer off Nuwan Kulasekara, Yuvraj Singh bursting into tears of joy may have been played on the television thousands of times since then, but one of the standout memories of that final was how then Sri Lanka Captain Kumar Sangakkara would look at all Indian celebrations and still manage a smile. When Sri Lanka lost a famous World Cup Final to a worthy winner in 2011, they could walk off the Stadium with their heads held high.

Fast forward 12 years, what used to be one of the most anticipated cricket rivalries in the world, has become one famous 'David and Goliath.' On Thursday when Sri Lanka were bundled out for 55 runs in chase of 358, senior campaigner Angelo Mathews - arguably playing his last World Cup, was left in tears and one of the bravest cricketing nations, became a laughing stock at the world stage.

So, who should take the responsibility for this monumental failure?

Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe last week, revealed the salaries which are being paid for the coaching staff. According to him, Head Coach Chris Silverwood is being paid a monthly salary of US$ 30000, while the Consultant Coach Mahela Jayawardane collects US$ 20,000. Amid all the embarrassing batting displays of Sri Lanka, Assistant Coach Naveed Nawaz earns US$ 14,000. According to the details provided by the Minister the whole coaching staff is being paid close to 120,000 US$ monthly, and for what?!

With Jayawardane around the team now, Head Coach Silverwood looks like a mere puppet who has very little say on how Sri Lanka plays. However, his continuous blind faith in Dasun Shanaka - a batsman who maintains an ODI average of 22 after 69 ODIs is one of the main reasons why Sri Lanka find themselves in this position. Sanath Jayasuriya and Marvan Atapattu in a recent interview revealed how they, despite being superstars of their generation, feared for their places in the team. Thanks to Silverwood the players now have no fear of failure because they are quite comfortable at failure.

Mahela Jayawardene without any shadow of doubt is the best captain Sri Lanka has had tactically. But Sri Lanka looked well short of any tactics against Afghanistan in their previous game with the bat or ball. Jayawardene, despite getting paid US$ 20,000 doesn't want to be with the teams all the time with his other coaching commitments globally. Even during high profile tournaments such as the World Cup, he doesn't mind taking off for a few days which is disappointing to see from a man who played with a generation of players who had missed the birth of their children because they prioritized representing the nation.

Naveed Nawaz, the Assistant Coach for some reason turns up for almost all the media conferences of the Sri Lanka team and he has passionately defended his players in front of the media. It's interesting to see how he is going to explain the improvements Sri Lanka has made from the Asia Cup Final to World Cup clash with Sri Lanka moving from 50 all-out to 55 all-out. So much for someone who is being paid US$ 14,000 a month.

On the other hand, the Sri Lanka national selectors should also take the responsibility for this debacle. Promodya Wickramasinghe looks like a man who needs more than one spectacle because he has certainly got no vision. This selector for some reason thought it was a nice idea to let Dhananjaya de Silva - a tailormade Test cricketer, bat at number six in these flat wickets in India. It was an absolute laughable decision given that teams like India (Hardik Pandya/ Surya Kumar Yadav), South Africa (David Miller), Australia (Glenn Maxwell), New Zealand (Glenn Phillips) have their big hitters at that position to kill the game off - Dhananjaya at six, kills the team off.

The national selectors have made a series of embarrassing mistakes and are one of the main reasons for this shocking World Cup campaign.

One would wonder how cricket is being allowed to run in this manner especially in a country where cricket is not just a game but nearly a religion. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is not a sports organisation anymore, it's now a business. Whenever, the President Shammi Silva is questioned about something, his go-to response would be to discuss the financial gains of SLC. Before the arrival of Shammi’s was an era where the cricket board failed to pay the salaries of the national players for long periods but it's during that era Sri Lanka played in four World Cup finals - winning one, because by then the priority was the quality of cricket, and not the amount of money being generated.
 
Heaviest ODI defeat in history, 50 AO and 55 AO all against india in the same year. Gone are the days of close games between these sides.
