Sangakkara accused of 'skullduggery'

London: The controversy over the toss of the World Cup final refused to die down today with former England captain Michael Vaughan accusing Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara of "skullduggery".

There was confusion during the toss of yesterday's final which India won by six wickets to reclaim the World Cup after 28 years.

The coin toss had to be performed twice after match referee Jeff Crowe failed to hear what Sangakkara had called the first time around.

But Vaughan wrote on his Twitter page that Sangakkara conned his Indian counterpart Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

"Sangakkara has stuffed Dhoni. He shouted tails in the first toss and lost it. You can hear it on air."

He later tweeted: "I hear tails shout at the toss..

Others hear heads... Inconclusive on the replays.
