Isn't the title what we would expect from Pakistani Ministers, media etc. after the Mohali defeat in World cup! And why not, the Pakistani players are themselves to blame having tainted themselves recently with so many allegations of match fixing(the spot-fixing scandal in particular). Even cricketers like Malik have jumped into the allegations battle now! Weren't there already enough people for that.
But then there are other reasons to claim that the match was fixed. That just saves them on the grounds that if it wasn't fixed, the result would have been different. Atleast something for them to say when the other person claims India to be superior.
No, Pakistanis aren't the ones to blame. This has become a sort of human tendency. We don't want to accept defeat and prefer searching(in fact digging out) some reason that would save us from accepting the obvious.
Can't the game be played on and off the field in the spirit of the game? After all, it's just a game!
