Pakistan cricket is embroiled in a new controversy after the national team were accused of deliberately losing two games at the Champions Trophy by a government official.

The chairman of the National Assembly's standing committee on sports claimed in a television interview that Pakistan lost to Australia to knock traditional rivals India out of the limited-overs tournament in South Africa.

I am not a cricket Cricket, but would like cricket lover's on board comments...

hmmm....I think it's a little bit rich a pakistani gov official calling anyone corrupt or even accuse them of match fixing.

obviously the gov official had put a tidy sum of money on India winning.

sounds more like sour grapes to me.

i'm a fan of the Bangladeshi Cricket Team.

owm
