‘Spot fixing’ very MUCH prevalent : Shaharyar

“Bob never shared with me any doubts about match-fixing. But this makes me feel that if something happened on that score it must have been after he left Pakistan for the Caribbean and during the two matches we lost to West Indies and Ireland. But I know this team and I do not think they would engage in match-fixing. They were the most morally upright team that I came across,” he said.

But, Shaharyar said, Woolmer had revealed his frustrations about never being in complete control of Pakistan team with captain Inzamam-ul-Haq considered the main man.

“There was always a question mark regarding Bob Woolmer taking total control of the team. I think here there was resistance from Inzamam because Inzamam was the unquestioned leader of his team… So I think Bob found it difficult sometimes if he was giving advice that may not be accepted at times by Inzamam. Bob felt he should have had full control but perhaps didn’t.”
