Copying my post from another thread. Can’t believe this has completely gone under the radar and it sickens me to the core.
Here is a link to the original investigation:
The question is, where is the ICC?
Was watching this video recently. According to Al Jazeera, there was a 10 over session on the first day of this Test which was fixed by 2-3 Englishmen. Though Al Jazeera has not taken these names for legal reasons, they have left enough clues for us to decipher in the ballpark who it might be. Here is a link to the test scorecard:
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...ngland-5th-test-england-tour-of-india-2016-17
Here are the scores at the end of the first day’s play:
Cook 10 (38)
Jennings 1 (17)
Root 88 (144)
Moeen 120 (222)
Bairstow 49 (90)
Stokes 5 (29)
We know 2-3 Englishmen were involved (at least). We know the fixing happened on Day 1, and we know according to the audio available that the fixing happens “after [censored] number of overs” as the bookie tells Al Jazeera’s undercover reporter to wait for his call. That is to say, we can eliminate the first few overs of the day, and also assume that bookies will not bet on batsmen underscoring against the new ball in case they might get out.
10 overs session implies at least 30 balls were faced by one of the partners in the partnership, indicating the most likely fixers here are one, some, or all of Root, Moeen, and Bairstow. They were the only batsmen who were playing long enough to have an impact over 10 overs.
These men seem to be match fixers with evidence from a more credible news source than News of the World. Al Jazeera claims to have handed this information over to the ICC. Why are the likes of Bairstow being protected by the ICC anti corruption unit? Why are only the Pakistanis, Indians, and Sri Lankans forced to take the fall? Why was this team allowed to become the glorified winners of the 2019 World Cup?
Why has this case completely descended into the unknown, forgotten as if it never happened?
I repeat my allegation that, 3 of the 5 names between Cook, Root, Moeen, Bairstow, and Stokes are filthy spot-fixers.
