Match fixing?!?! How are our cricketers capable of fixing a match? Surely this isn't the reason we lose so many games because I'm positive we are actually just a bit shark.

Must be spot-fixing rather than full on match fixing. Match fixing only really works if you create an upset, which would mean we'd have to win, which would mean it'd be the other team getting paid by the bookies.

The most common fix is influencing total runs in a block of overs by either batting slowly or bowling badly so you beat the spread. Its more about manipulating odds rather than spot fixing particular ball or fixing a result 

Any candidates or rumours though? This stuff has been linked with cairns before but I'm struggling to think of others really. Someone must have heard some rumours?
