When there is a suspicion that there may have been a lot of money on England breaking records, then it sort of takes the shine off the win.
Of course one hopes that this wasn't so, but all it needs is the slightest suspicion, to taint the victory.
Unfortunately, Near and Far East betting syndicates, have affected the outcome of many sorting events all over the world. Remember the 'failure' of the spotlights at a football match in the UK a few years back? That was put down to sabotage in an attempt to keep the scoreline as it was. Obviously there was a lot of money riding on that result.
