If you can watch this without laughing, I'll buy you a cookie. Suffice to say the ICC are now getting involved.

I didn't laugh, it was a bit too close to home as that's what our end of season beer match looks like... :-[

That  is  stunning!!!   

I think the bloke batting in his tracksuit and the last run out where the bloke doesn't even break into an amble are high points!!!


What crassness is being brought into this great game?

The first wicket is my favourite. Literally can’t stop laughing at him stopping dead in the middle of the pitch 😂

Ah, the humour to be found when one syndicate has bought each team and both want to lose!

A little development on the mad match fixing footage. Salman Butt (yes him) has revealed he was part of the tournament, but 'left early'.

my favourite is the guy who comes down the track then just walks off without even attempting a shot!

Just after he'd been to the bookies?

Look how fat some of them are!! The bats they are using have old/antique shapes. Does WWE own that tournament? Who owns the team wearing green shirts?

The blue team is tennis-ball cricket team that's been recruited (against their will) to  play "hard" ball cricket. :D

This is kabuki. Amateur clubbies play better cricket than these guys.
