IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

"After the over, Chandila and Manan - a bookie - talk. Chandila asks him, 'Happy now?'. The bookie says yes. Chandila tells him the money shouldn't go directly to Chavan. Chandila wanted the money himself, and would then share it."
In my defense, it was all part of a plan to stop Sreesanth from ever playing again.

on 09.05.2009 i ranted about this ****....

To start with, I dont like Hayden very much. But his 58 ball knock of 89 last evening in the IPL was a very special T20 innings. After a whirlwind performance full of exciting shots, haydos upped the ante and belted three sixers in one over and holed out to the deep in the dying stages of the innings. the bowler, a prick called Sreesanth, instead of applauding him and saying "well played" shouted a mouthful of abuses at him and gave him marching orders. haydos just gave him a wry smile as response and walked off.

i wanted to hide under my sofa in shame looking at this mediocre cricketer mistaking petulance for passion and false bravado for toughness. i hope he stays out of the indian team forever and ends up selling lottery tickets on the streets for a living. better still i hope harbhajan slaps him one more time and both get banned for life.

I hate this graceless, talentless, brainless idiot.

It's amazing how much you can read from someone's face alone.



Just has slimy bastard written all over it. Always disliked the guy, and this just vindicates it further.

I just received this from Cricket Australia.

Please see below a statement released by Shaun Tait via his management at Essentially Australia.

SHAUN TAIT STATEMENT RE: ALLEGATIONS OF IMPROPRIETY IN IPL

Rajasthan Royals and former Australian paceman Shaun Tait has welcomed statements from the Delhi police clearing him of any involvement in spot or match fixing in the IPL.

Tait said:

“I’m bewildered, I’m angry and I’m upset at the false suggestions I’ve been involved in any wrongdoing. While I welcome the recent statements from police clearing me of any involvement, for a few hours today I was deeply distressed by the rumours that were rapidly circulating about me, most of which were aired in the social media space. Not only were they without foundation, they highlight the danger of a medium that deals with innuendo rather than fact, the result of which has brought my name into question. At no stage in my career have I engaged in spot or match fixing and I’m in discussions with my manager and legal representatives to examine how this episode unfolded and any further action I may take. I pride myself on playing cricket hard and fair and look forward to continuing my career in this vein.”

Heard Phil Tait was interviewed about this, unsurprisingly he's as upset as Shaun is. Some seriously twattish Twitter users about who may have put themselves in legal trouble over this. Really, there wasn't even the slightest inkling to suggest he was involved at all, someone just started a rumour out of nowhere.

I mean, well, you never know but I'd back any of the Taits to be cleaner than Mr Sheen.

Haha. Such outrage.

Would be funny if Sreesanth names Stuart Binny.

Always knew Sreesanth was dodgy. And ****. Turns out he's **** for a multitude of reasons, however.
