      jesus h christ, check this shit out. T20 game in UAE, team chasing a modest score basically gets themselves out. It's been referred straight to the ICC. I wonder why?

          Brilliant. They couldn't have made it anymore obvious and gave me a laugh.

          They should also be fucking locked up.

              They couldn’t run off the field fast enough to collect their brown bag of $$$

                    The keeper tried his best to fuck that fix up, but even he couldn't stop them getting out.

                    I loved old mate who looked at his bat like it might have had a hole in it.

                      I liked the guy who was in the "yes, no, yes, no, yes" mix-up in the middle. Note how he's desperately stretching to make his ground at 1.41....(to quote Borat) NOT!!!

                        Only hope is they fucked up and got themselves out at wrong times. Committed a run out when they were supposed to hit a 6..

                        Might be a car trunk waiting for them rather than a hotel room full of hookers.

                            I think that a worrying thing for cricket players now is that a genuinely shit team not only have to come to terms with the fact they're shit, but 90% of the fans are going to call them cheats as well.

                              The Aussie ODI team seem to be avoiding the suspicion ok

                                Isn't the idea with fixing that you don't recruit the whole team!! Maybe they thought it'd be less obvious if they all were doing it? Bet they'll have some shithouse reason like a team rebellion against the coach - we threw the game, but not for money.

                                Yeah right buddy!

                                  @virgil seems no one has told Stoinis! Bet his efforts have been giving the rest of them the shits!

                                    That’s why I don’t understand why an ipl team would pick him up!

                                      The charge-leave to begin with was absolutely beautiful.

                                          They had to work very hard to make that wicketkeeper take any stumpings! 🙂

                                          Comical batting but utterly criminal...

                                            He seemed worried if he swung he'd hit it out of the park.

                                                    No doubt a very in-depth investigation taking many months will be required
