Spot fixing concern: Why did Sanga order no ball?

Tony Greig explains the facts as to why the Sri Lankans were hell bent on preventing Sehwag from getting his ton.

As India were approaching their victory target of 170 with Sehwag in the 90s, skipper Sangakkara lets thru 4 byes that tied the scores. He then clearly orders Randiv to bowl a no ball which cancelled out Sehwag's six as the scores were level. These actions of some desparation raises the spectre of spot fixing as the odds on Sehwag getting his hundred in the dying overs of a one sided match was very high.

What really compounded the concerns of spot fixing was when Sangakkara appeared at the press conference and made statements which appeared in complete contradiction of the events that he seemed to orchestrate on the field, prior to this stump mic evidence emerging.
