Respected formerNew Zealand test captain and international match referee, John Reid, suspectsPakistan 's cricket World Cup loss againstwas a case of match-fixing. Ireland Following the stunning loss on March 18 which saw
exit the World Cup, coach Bob Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his hotel room. Pakistan Reid said on TV One's CloseUp program on Tuesday night that after
's three-wicket loss: "... Immediately I had suspicions." Pakistan "I've been a (match) referee at other World Cups in 1999 when Pakistan were beaten by Bangladesh and in 2003 when Sri Lanka were beaten by Kenya," Reid said.
"They are three very suspicious matches."

Well, John Reid may be a very respectable figure in World cricket but I do not agree with him at all. He could just mention three matches out of many hundred matches played in World Cup Cricket.
