JUNE 15: Ezra Moseley, a former fast bowler and member of the West Indies rebel teams touring South Africa in the early 1980s, has denied allegations that the team took a bribe to lose a match to South Africa in 1983.``The guy is talking a bunch of crap,'' said Moseley, now a Barbados first-class selector. ``Nobody ever talked to us about match fixing. That is a lot of foolishness."Moseley recalled a problem over sponsorship money in the flood-lit 4th `One-Day International' in February 1983, which led to the West Indian rebels taking the field in whites.But he said the matter was solved and they eventually reverted to their coloured clothes, complete with sponsors' logos. The West Indies won that match by seven wickets.Moseley played two Tests for the West Indies against England in the Caribbean in 1990 after the West Indies Cricket Board lifted a life ban imposed on the `rebels' for touring then-apartheid South Africa.Bacher also denied any wrongdoing in a prepared statement on Wednesday.``There was a contractual dispute involving the West Indies in terms of which demands were made for a bonus based upon attendance during the series,'' Bacher said.``At one point the West Indian XI threatened that they would not play a particular match should they not received the promised bonus. It was in this context and in this context alone, that the dispute arose and it had nothing to do with payment to influence the outcome of any match. The dispute was amicably resolved.''
