Spotfixing in Afg vs Zim series.

Post by afghankhan »

Chatara bowls the 46th over starts with a waist high no ball and then bowls 2 more noballs of front foot.

This match Gulbodin bowls a waist high noball and then bowls 2 noball of front foot also in over 46th!!!!!!!!!!


What are the chances of coincidences? What are the chances of 3 noballs in 1 over?

And then 333/5 the first innings total in the first match, and 333/5 again in the second match. Well well well :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is insane! Afghans get all out for 179, same as Zim in the last match!

This could actually be true. Have always suspected Zim-Afghan games are fixed actually. The last series convinced me

333-5 and 179
333-5 and 179

Its actually NOT that easy to pull a fix that specific. A huge number of players have to be involved and the more complicated a fix is, the greater the likelihood of it not coming through. Prolly makes sense to just bet on less risky stuff. You might have to rely on butterfingers Stanikzai to hold on to a catch to pull it off.

And we know the Afghans are capable of collapse to 79 all out, so 179 isn't a surprise. I'm still trying to figure out how they got 330+ in the last game.

I highly doubt that the players were involved in fixing but this definitely looks very fishy! There's just too many coincidences!

But its easier to bowl no balls.

There was a video about a guy who was taking on bets on YT but it has been removed now.

I don't think there is spot-fixing, I think it is more that these players are just mediocre.
