The runs per over spot fix seems like a tricky one. It depends on the bowler not over stepping or bowling a wide. If the batsman plays it behind square its his partner that calls him through. Also its very easy to score runs by accident through edges. Its probably easier to spot fix an over from a spin bowler but then you have to worry about byes Unless they just bet on runs scored off the bat ?

Shaun Marsh and Mitch Marsh, potentially winning the ashes at their home ground the WACA in its final ever test. Brings a tear to the eye I tell you.

I don't know how a batsmen could spot fix other than giving his wicket away in an over. Maybe they could give a maiden over to a part time pie chucker.

Is Tom Moody involved in Cricket Australia at all? I know he was pushing for the coaches job at one stage, so maybe he has some backstage/admin role. He is a World Cup winning Allrounder. He is Australian. He is also pretty quiet, one might even say silent.

BlindSite posted:Mark Waugh would be my first guess. I've never believed the story about him only giving pitch info tbh. Mark Waugh was never an "All Rounder". He was a batsman that would bowl a few overs. Also seconded on the MWaugh and Warne "pitch and weather info" being bullshit. It is one of my major peeves with Cricket Australia about how that whole mess was handled. Australia was riding the high horse on corruption and match fixing, pointing fingers at both India and Pakistan. Yet when India and Pakistan found their Way to show that match fixing/colluding with bookies doesn't pay Cricket Australia!

It all lines up to be Moody. From WA, so perfect connections to help fix this test, coaches an IPL team so positioned to fix in the IPL too. No need for an ICC investigation, we've cracked it.

So Hazlewood bowls one of the best Australian overs of the series to Stoneman and really works him and Cummins rocks up and sprays one down the leg side that Root gets a glove on. Funny game Cricket.

Australia would be on top if not for MMarsh. Clearly he was the match fixer, send him to jail. Maxwell would have taken the catch. Root is going to be so angry with himself
