Australia, England adamant match-fixing claims are bogus

SYDNEY - Australia and England on Monday rejected fresh allegations about corruption in cricket by television news channel Al Jazeera, which claimed there had been 26 spot-fixing incidents in 15 international matches.

In a follow-up documentary to one aired earlier this year, the Qatar-based broadcaster reported on Sunday that a small group of England players allegedly cheated in seven games between 2011 and 2012.

It claimed Australian players were involved in five matches over the same period, Pakistan players in three and players from other, unidentified, teams in one.
