    If the question is was there a conspiracy then I don't see why it needs to be asked tbh, imho trying to hold up one conspiracy as some sort of hint that others are happening is just the same as doing the opposite and throwing up a debunked theory as a reason for how no conspiracy can be true.

    No, ya missed the point a bit, What I was tryin to say is

    Hey

    Look over here, this is a bunch of people are doin things that in themselves may or may not be suspicious, BUT if you Join the Dots, as some individuals have done, there APPEARS to be a concerted effort by one small group of individuals to Conspire against a Larger group for Gain.

    Now to me thats the essence of a Cospiracy Theory, Thats what I want to discuss

    And you'll notice that they were incapable of conspiring to rig the results of a cricket match, without someone getting wind of it, therefore illustrating how difficult it is for a group of people to successful conspire to commit crimes.

    Just to back up what Mahatma asked for, try and play nice folks and discuss the topic. You're not going to prove anything by repeating "But you're wrong!" over and over. If you don't think one idea has any validity, try and offer another. Who knows, you might even enjoy it.

    That doesn't mean they didn't try to though. I'd say it was more of an unintentional, ongoing greed thing than a masterminded conspiracy.

    Read about the sidebets that they had going, theres one here about the Cowboys in a league game that raises a few eyebrows,but I digress, the question is a Dio put it was it a series of amazin coincidences or was there an organised Conspiracy???

    I think its a good case study, cos lets face it mot of us dont give two flyin wotsits about Cricket:D
