1996 World Cup semi final

Do you think the match between India and Sri lanka was fixed(if anyone remembers).... Kambli a member of the team just stirred up the issue..

Vinod Kambli's comment to a television news channel on the 1996 World Cup semi-final has stirred up the cricketing community. Kambli claimed that he felt "something was amiss" and suspected the match versus Sri Lanka was fixed. He also said that he was stunned by Mohammad Azharuddin's decision to field first.
"I will never forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this and I was dropped from the team... I was standing on one side and on the other end my fellow batsman was telling me that we would chase the target. However, soon after they quickly got out one by one. I don't know what transpired... However, I was not given a chance to speak and was dropped soon after. Our team manager at that time Ajit Wadekar was aware of everything. He had even written an article afterwards that Vinod Kambli had been made a scapegoat." he said.

Sri Lanka won the first semifinal over India at the Eden Gardens when chasing a total of 251 for 8, the hosts slumped to 120 for 8 in the 35th over and that led to crowd disturbance. The match was then awarded to Sri Lanka by match referee Clive Lloyd.

Wouldn't at all surprise me.

this game STILL hasn't been rikkied????

But why come out so late?
Anyways from 99/2 or 3 to 120 for 8 was quite fishy
Moreover Srinath had taken 3 wickets but was not allowed to fill his quota of overs..
Finally the decision to field first when firstly India were extremely poor chasers and curators told the team that the wicket would deteriorate.

He's a wag, that Trev.

that pitch was a shocker though. the ball was turning square and only srt seemed to be able to handle it. once he had that weird stumping/run out everyone knew the match was over

Something was amiss. India's talent.
