England captain Strauss calls on ICC to leave "no stone unturned" in their probe into cricket corruption

England captain Andrew Strauss has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to leave "no stone unturned" in their probe into cricket corruption after his side ended a scandal-marred season with a one-day series win over Pakistan. Strauss was speaking at a news conference yesterday after the end of a tour mired in 'fixing' allegations. England thrashed Pakistan by 121 runs in the fifth and final one-dayer at the Rose Bowl for a 3-2 series win after Pakistan had fought back to 2-2 from 2-0 down. Eoin Morgan, Strauss's Middlesex team-mate, was named man-of-the-match for his unbeaten 107 in a total of 256 for six. Pakistan, only briefly in the hunt, were dismissed for 135 with exactly 13 overs to spare as Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann took three wickets apiece. But those statistics remained overshadowed by the newspaper claims that led to Pakistan's Salman Butt, Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif being suspended by the ICC and questioned by British police over an alleged plot to bowl deliberate no-balls during last month's Test at Lord's.
