Just a hypothetical: how easy would it be to fix a match? I don't trust these US guys.

Hypothetically very easy I would think. Some of the USA team are not full time paid cricketers and even those that are don’t earn huge amounts.

Having said that I don’t think USA would, simply because of their pride in what they have achieved so far.

I was at the famous England v Pakistan game at lords where they fixed parts of the match by bowling no balls so even the bigger teams can be targeted by match fixers. I hope now though that it’s much more difficult to do.

There was a great documentary in the UK about match fixing and they agree signals before a game so no mobile phones etc doesn’t matter. For example they would tap their right leg 3 times and then scratch their nose before bowling a no ball.

I don't think so. Nowadays there is no fixing in international games.

Thanks for that great information.

Lol, this isn't a league match. It's an international game played under the conditions of a lot of surveillance. You're not even allowed to use cellphones privately 24 hours before the games .

They don't have the luxury of using a phone.
