Was this match Fixed..?

I would say, certainly "Yes". Last week we played a cricket tournament, where I got a chance to bowl after 2-3 years. I am not a very good player but I could bowl pretty okay, as I was bowling after 2-3 years, I didn't try to bowl yorkers in the first few overs and if you try to bowl in right areas at low pace, you will be able to do that, after 2-3 overs, I tried a few yorkers where I got hit for a few boundaries and got 2 wickets also. So someone like me who has nothing to think about Cricket for years and who has practiced nothing, can bowl like this then what do you think of "Shoaib Akhtar" (No comparison)? If anyone has any doubt in his bowling ability check the youtube video "Great yorkers". You've bowled 8 good overs and when you go to bowl your 9th over, you start bowling wides and waist height full toss and that too 3-4...that was just BS...these people should not play for their country, he and Razzak both of them bowled purposefully in that manner. Yes, Ross Taylor is a good batsman but I can bet there is not any batting pair that can score 100 runs in 29 balls against Pakistan bowling attack. They should allow the minor teams to play in next world cup but they should not allow this Pakistan team in next world cup. Kamran Akmal is doing it purposefully, he was caught in that scandal but got away because of his strong sources. Shame on these people selling their country...

no i dnt think there is any match fixing involved in todays match as pakistani players are under so bad condition that thaey cant even think of it.still their very good cricketers are sitting out because of this fixing and do u think still they have a guts to do it again? i think it just not his day.this can happen with anyone.

Whenever Kamran Akmal plays, this question will always remain. He is so lousy behind the wickets that it is impossible to see him as an international wicket keeper. I do not think the player fixes the match, but someone in the selectors has fixed the matches, that is why they keep picking up Kamran Akmal. If you see his performance over the past two years it is really shocking. Cheers! Ram

I can't really say whether it was a case of match fixing but the mistakes committed by Kamran Akmal were so glaring that he does not deserve a place in Pakistan team for that matter not even in Associate member team as a wicket keeper. He had not been that bad a couple of years back. The case deserves to be properly investigated for match fixing. New Zealand team was really on their knees when he let off Ross Taylor, not one but twice and both straight forward catches. Pakistan can not afford to win matches with such keeper.
