How can you possibly resume the test when obviously the Pakistani team are dirty smell cheating bastard.They should get a world wide ban for this and never be allowed to play again.Totally spoiled the full seris for me.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 It just taints the whole game from top to bottom - the contempt for the fans is scandalous.Whilst the actions of all involved are clearly criminal, the players deserve even greater opprobrium than anyone else.Disgusting.

A life ban is not enough of a deterrent to others dreaming about the wads of cash being waved in front of them to join any given match-fixing plan.

Lando 249 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I remember watching one episode of The Lynley Mysteries Series, and it was about someone doing match fixing of a cricket game. Is this quite common happening in cricket?In the USA, we have read a number of stories of point shaving in college basketball and some coaches and players betting on their own games in baseball.

Ibroxblue 122 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 It's so easy to do this in cricket unfortunately Folk have done it in football too e.g. deliberately kicking the ball out for a shy. Matt Le Tissier admitted doing it and it's been said the (in)famous Wimbledon team from a few years back used to do it. It's wrong and it should be severely punished but it's not as bad as fixing the whole outcome of a match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
