Wide-separation lensing statistics offer information about the density profile and abundance of dark haloes. A possible discovery of six quasar pairs, which may be lensed multiple images, was reported by Miller et al. recently. These pairs are selected from a catalogue of the 2dF quasar (QSO) survey comprising 22163 quasars. We calculate expected numbers of lensed quasars taking account of the redshift and magnitude distributions of the quasar catalogue. Given some of the six pairs are genuine lensed systems, we put interesting constraints on the inner slope of dark haloes, Ω 0 and σ 8 . We show that the detection of even one lens with separation > 30 arcsec is marginally consistent with models that have cuspy inner density profile, p r - 1 . 5 and very large σ 8 , σ 8 ≥ 1.2 for Ω 0 = 0.3. To reconcile with constraints from X-ray clusters or cosmic shear, much lower Ω 0 and much higher σ 8 values are needed, although such high values for σ 8 seem too extreme. The shallower inner density profile p r - 1 is hardly acceptable. In particular, the expected number of lenses with separation >200 arcsec is too small to explain the discovery of such anomalously wide-separation lens systems. These results imply that we miss some important systematic effects, there is a problem in the cold dark matter scenario, or none of these six quasar pairs is likely to be a lensed image.
