Australia's dramatic Test victory over Pakistan at the SCG in January is looking more tainted by the day.
As the cricket world reeled from allegations that the Pakistani Test team had been involved in spot fixing during the ongoing Test against England at Lord's, the man at the centre of the sting claimed that the Sydney result had been engineered to order.
Player agent Mazhar Majeed said the Sydney Test was "the last Test" where the result had been rigged, after Pakistan reached a position where odds against their defeat were prohibitive.
"Let me tell you the last Test we did. It was the second Test against Australia in Sydney. Australia had two more wickets left. They had a lead of ten runs, yeah. And Pakistan had all their wickets remaining," Majeed told The News Of The World.
"The odds for Pakistan to lose that match, for Australia to win that match, were I think 40-1. We let them get up to 150 then everyone lost their wickets.
"That one we made 1.3 (million). But that's what I mean, you can get up to a million. Tests is where the biggest money is because those situations arise."
While Cricket Australia has always maintained the belief that their players won the match "fair and square", the evidence for underperformance was hard to dispute.
Plenty of events in Sydney did not add up.
There were the dropped catches and missed run out of 'keeper Kamran Akmal, and the bizarrely defensive fields used by the captain Mohammad Yousuf when Mike Hussey and Peter Siddle clawed Australia to a narrow lead.
Also up for analysis were the series of suicidal shots played on the match's final afternoon as the last nine Pakistani wickets went down for 89 runs.
Before he left his post as the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption boss in May, Lord Condon indicated he had grave concerns about the Sydney Test, but was unable to pin down the players' motivation for underperforming.
"It is a match and series that worried us, we spent a lot of time talking to the players and PCB. The challenge is finding where is the solid fact," Condon told reporters.
"What you have there is a lot of strife within the team and Pakistan politics with rivals camps making allegations.
"We are satisfied that was a totally dysfunctional tour from a Pakistan point of view.
"The dysfunctionality in the dressing room led to players not performing well, to maybe players potentially underperforming deliberately.
"What we still need to establish is whether that was because rival camps wanted to do down captains or potential captains, or whether it was more serious, doing it for a financial fix."
In light of Majeed's words, the investigation may need to be re-opened.
