Butt/Amir/Asif - Spot Fixing Trial

Yeah it was.

My previous post obviously highlights the fact that I consider Asif the worst human being to play cricket.
Hansie Cronje, easily.

Getting two naive coloured kids to go along with his matchfixing antics is possibly the scummiest thing that's ever been associated with cricket.

Who?

Wouldn't it be Azhar by that logic? Or whoever first brought him in ? Sharma or some Pakistani cricketer ?

Given Williams didn't do what he was meant to either because he was injured, it was a bit of a crap attempt at match-fixing.

Gibbs was 25 and Williams 32 at the time and both playing cricket for a long time. Hardly young and naive Kids.

Compared to this Butt brought in a 18 year old in Aamir, who was still new to cricket when he was captain. While Asif has all sort of other past controversies too.

Probably Azhar, Ajay Sharma and Salim Malik beat all of them in this regard though.

It's the fact that they were both coloured that really doesn't sit well with me. Given South Africa's history in regard to race relations, a white captain exploiting two of his coloured players to do his dirty work, at a time when non-whites were starting to properly establish themselves in South African cricket is extremely distasteful.

btw I (and many of my friends in this part of the world) could never understand howHerschelle Gibbs isn't white? He is as white as they come. What's the distinction?

He's mixed race.

Compare Gibbs to a de Villiers or Smith - he certainly isn't "as white as they come."

I should have said he seems as white as they come :p

I couldn't see much difference between him and De Villiers :p
