***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

[pasag]

Pak cricket needs a reboot. Chuck out all the current players, board and start again.

 

[Jono]

Surely... surely they couldn't be this ****ing stupid and do it now of all times?

Incredible.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah, its frankly ridiculous if its true.

 

[fredfertang]

If you're going to do it then I suppose when the authorities least expect it is as good a time as any

 

[Jono]

But it's not when they least expect it. I mean it may be in their heads, but it's the one time in 10 odd years when the authorities have to look like they're actually doing something about it.

 

[fredfertang]

It is mate - you good as said that in your own post

 

[Jono]

Guys this is being discussed in the match fixing thread.

Surely mods merge this? Cannot keep up with match fixing discussion anymore. IT's going on in 3-4 threads.

 

[Jono]

Yeah fair enough.

Still reckon it's the time when they're looking out for it most, even if they don't expect to find anything.

 

[fredfertang]

Yeah they're looking hard ................. but backwards not forwards

 

[Themer]

Not again...

The whole structure needs to fully inspected by a ICC led investigation as its gone past ridiculous should these new allegations be proved true.

 

[Furball]

If there's any substance to these fresh allegations, Pakistan should be thrown out of cricket.

 

[Jacknife]

Just been reading about this on Cricinfo and most of the comments are unreal,things such as England need investigating for collapsing and it only happened because England lost.I can't understand how people come to such conclusions, when The Sun passed on information before the match started and is related to how Pakistan score in certain overs,nothing to do with how Umar Gul bowled.

 

[zaremba]

Ffs.

 

[DingDong]

can not possibly be true nobody is that stupid

 

[NZ Guy]

can not possibly be true nobody is that stupid

My thoughts exactly, my only thought is that it was done before allegations arose and legs were to be broken if they didn't follow through. But still...

 

[DingDong]

tru nzguy.but then again u had guys like asif strolling about in airports with opium in his pocket....

 

[BoyBrumby]

ICC have apparently confirmed, after the ECB petitioned them for assurance, that no members of the England team or management staff have been implicated in the alleged 3rd ODI misdeeds. Hmm.

 

[AlanJLegend]

I personally don't believe these latest allegations are true. Surely nobody is that unintelligent.

If it is the case though, the ICC need to come down like a ton of bricks and make an example of everybody involved. Ban Pakistan from internation cricket for 5 years if need-be. Anybody involved in match-fixing or spot-fixing, either during the game or as a behind-the-scenes ringleader should be given a life ban, no exceptions. Anybody else who knew about it but kept quiet should be given a 10 year ban.

As I said, I'm not convinced the latest allegations are true until they are proven. But if they are, it's time for ICC to start lashing out some life bans. Our game does not need this...

This. Don't want them in the World Cup next year if the latest allegations are proven.

Its just so absurd now its funny. Unbelievable that someone would do this when the spotlight is still on them.
