"The ACU has confirmed that as part of the security protocol put in place for the event, it has requested that the host broadcaster supply it with tapes of all matches played by all 12 teams competing in Colombo," the ICC said in a media release. "Specifically, it has reviewed a number of incidents that took place in the opening match of the tournament between Sri Lanka and Pakistan on September 12," the release said. ICC spokesman Mark Harrison, however, refused to specify the incidents. Harrison, however, denied that any meeting of the Anti-corruption unit took place on Monday. "The message is that they are looking at this tournament with great scrutiny." A news report had said t that the tapes on the run-out of Pakistani batsman Yousuf Youhanna and a charge of ball-tampering by one of their bowlers were watched. The media statement said: "The role of the ACU at this tournament is to provide all players and teams with an effective anti-corruption infrastructure. That will include detailed monitoring of all matches including, when appropriate, reviewing any incidents that take place during matches that may look unusual." It quoted ACU chief Paul Condon as saying none should be surprised at this approach, and that the Unit would be looking at other incidents in other matches in the remaining games of the tournament. Harrison said the review of the tapes would have been confidential normally, but for a remark by television commentator Tony Greig. The ICC's action in calling for a specific match for a "number of incidents" has revived the specter of match-fixing that haunted the game two years ago. in-depth coverage > ICC Champions Trophy 2002 > |
