NAIROBI, OCTOBER 10: Zimbabwe opener Alistair Campbell was on Tuesday HANDED a one-match suspension for showing dissent against his dismissal in his team's quarter-final game in the ICC knock-out trophy against New Zealand at the Nairobi Gymkhana Club grounds here yesterday.The sentence, handed out by match referee Cammie Smith of the West Indies, means that Campbell, Zimbabwe's in-form batsman of the moment, will miss the team's first match in the Coca-Cola Cup in Sharjah in 10 days time. India, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are the three teams in the competition that begins on October 20.Batting against legspinner Chris Harris, Campbell was astonished to see West Indian umpire Steve Bucknor raise his finger in response to the appeal and held his position for close to a minute before walking off.Call for judical inquiryKARACHI:'`The chairman of the PCB Tauqir Zia has requested the patron of the PCB to order a judicial inquiry into the allegations of betting, gambling and match-fixing concerning the World Cup 1999 matches of Pakistan against India and Bangladesh,'' said a PCB statement released late last night.The PCB patron, Pakistan president Mohammad Rafiq Tarar, has not commented on the request.Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 61 runs in a first-round match in one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, while India defeated their arch-rivals by 47 runs at Old Trafford in a Super Six stage game, prompting critics at home to call for an investigation.Pakistan still reached the final of the tournament played in England, but lost by eight wickets to Australia. It was the most one-sided loss in the 24-year history of the competition and led to accusations of indiscipline against Pakistani players as well as allegations of match-fixing from fans and local media.The latest call for an inquiry comes after another judicial investigation into possible corruption in the Pakistani game recommended that a number of Test players be either fined or banned.
