LONDON, MAY 21: Former Pakistan cricket captain Salim Malik told undercover reporters from the News of The World that he could fix the result of any match - and had done so before in the past, the newspaper reported on Sunday.The weekly tabloid said it had infiltrated an international match-fixing ring headed by Malik. Undercover reporters had video tapes of conversations with Malik who promised to fix matches for up to 500,000 pounds (about Rs 3.5 crore) a game, the News of The World said.The News of the World reporters posed as high rollers looking to bet on the results of matches. They quoted Malik as saying: ``It will be very easy for me to fix a match. The players will agree. We've all say together and done it before. It's better than dealing drugs.``When you've got the main players in your hand you'll have to be really unlucky to lose,'' he reportedly said.``You'll have four or five players in hand and they will be playing just for you,'' Malik was quoted as saying.Malik is the central character in Pakistan's match-fixing controversy, but has twice been cleared by a Supreme Court judge.He told News of The World that a controversial match during last year's World Cup in which unfancied Bangladesh beat Pakistan had been fixed.Another match between Australia and Pakistan in 1994 had been doubly fixed, so that both sides were trying to lose in nearly farcical circumstances, he added.
