The last test for which every cricket lover is waiting impatiently is under the curse of match fixing. According to reports Australian cricketers are being offered money so as to let England win the tests.
With this the interest to watch cricket will surely be lowered.
What is your say about it?

Can't see that any australian cricket would accept money to lose a game against the oldest of enemies, England. Professional cricketers, certainly at international level are well paid and so it would have to be a hefty bribe, and oen that would be big enough to take a risk with. As I said just can't see it.

Crickters are well paid even then we can't say anything. About australian can't accept bribe i agree :) because it's been reported that an australian cricketer who has been offered the bribe has reported the matter to ICC. But i don't want that this match fixing thing comes again. With what interest will i watch an sport then

My friend, i am following the case, and as far as i can see nothing has been proved for sure. well there are rumors and they will always pop up. but i think there is no reason to believe them until and unless there are sufficient evidence to prove that. i mean they are not just players. they are the representatives of their country to the world, so i think they will not do it so easily.
But then there are cases which proved this wrong. So lets hope that the news is just a rumor and not for real and we can enjoy the real competition of ashes in the last test match.
