Afridi: Pakistan team threw games

Pakistan Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi has alleged that some of his teammates were busy ogling at girls and loafing around the boundary line, not giving their 100 per cent in the team’s disastrous tour of Australia earlier this year.

The leaked video footage of Pakistan Cricket Board’s investigations showed Afridi questioning the commitment of some of his teammates. Asked whether some of his teammates were involved in match-fixing, Afridi said, “I can say that more than being beaten, we gave away those matches. About match-fixing, I too have heard but have no evidence.

Some players, once they have made decent runs with the bat, would think their job is done and would go to field in the deep. There they would be busy chatting with the crowd, ogling at girls and giving autographs. They play for themselves.
