Cricket: Josh Hazlewood has admitted the team could consider manipulating the match result against Scotland in order to eliminate England.
Will Aussies tank to eliminate England ? | 00:51 Pat Cummins ruled out Thursday the prospect of Australia underperforming against Scotland in a bid to oust rivals England from the Twenty20 World Cup, saying it would be against the “spirit of cricket.”when he said it would be in Australia ’s interests for reigning champions England to be out of the competition.
That scenario now appears less likely after England crushed Oman by eight wickets on Thursday to move above Scotland on net run rate with a final game to come against Namibia.England coach Matt Mott -- an Australian -- said he hoped Hazlewood was joking and Australia’s Test and one-day skipper Cummins assured him that the bowler was.
Cummins said he had spoken to Hazlewood and the comments were tongue-in-cheek and “got taken a bit out of context.”
