The ICC has told a concerned Cricket Australia ( CA ) that the premier cricket governing body does not believe match fixing was involved in the controversial Sydney Test.

Paul Condon's statement regarding the suspicion over whether the Sydney Test between Australia and Pakistan was fixed apparently led to James Sutherland of CA to inquire of the ICC.
However, the ICC has responded in the negative. "The ICC has replied, saying it has seen no evidence of match-fixing and that there is no current investigation of match-fixing," it was revealed. CA further added, "Haroon Lorgat has assured James Sutherland that Australia won the match on its merits. Lord Condon found evidence of a demoralised team and warned that cricket authorities needed to be extra vigilant."
Suspicions were raised by members of the Pakistan team management after Kamran Akmal dropped nearly a half a dozen chances behind the stumps and Pakistan collapsed in the run chase.
