Spot-fixing/Match-fixing scandal

A person calling my country's heros Donkey should be treated rather harshly than that!

Nothing is proved yet! They will remain my heroes untill and unless proven guilty.

Err you didn't see this part or is it another case of selective reading?

Here the three monkeys are the monkeys of Gandhi -> See/Talk/Hear nothing evil. In other words living in denial.

There is nothing wrong with his language.

He is not calling the tainted three as the three monkeys dude. He is calling people like Hasan - three monkeys.

Now, do some reading -> Three wise monkeys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
 
True, India is at number 1 spot thanks to spot fixing everywhere, Dhoni is number 1 batsmen cuz umpire calls no ball whenever he tries to get out. :lol: Indian brain, no spot fixing, still no.1 rankings + awards + god status + endorsements + richie rich. :lol:


Yeah i think so.I don't think Indian Team can defeat Pakistani team fairly.
 
To understand why Pakistan is lagging behind THIS bad, despite having intelligent/hardworking/healthy people with fertile lands; one does not need to go beyond this thread.

No other nation would offer SUCH AN ARDENT defense for such seasoned criminals. Perhaps this is our destiny, to be cheated by every third-rate thief and politician. And why would they not cheat us, especially when so many of you would goto any extent to defend them.

Why you guys jump to conclusion so early! Wait for investigation to complete! Don't be too passimistic!
If they are guilty then their should be severe punishment for them but you guys are passing your own verdict too early.
If proof is so damning then why till now British police and SY is not been able to do anything! Atleast charge them! Yesterday British police let all players go without charge! Why!
You guys are just too much hopeless!!!!!!!! :tdown:

For the rest of the world, this is Pakistan. If we love you, we will stay loyal to you until the very end.

Even if the entire world is against you, we will be by you! And if you are amongst our enemies, beware! Be afraid, be very very afraid.

3 monkey stuff is new to me!
 
LONDON: A teammate of the three Pakistan cricketers suspended on corruption charges has reportedly claimed that players on his team have been fixing ''almost every match.''

The News of the World newspaper quotes opening batsman Yasir Hameed as saying Pakistan players are throwing matches.

''They were doing it in almost every match,'' Hameed was quoted as saying by the News of the World newspaper. ''God knows what they were up to. Scotland Yard was after them for ages.

''It makes me angry because I'm playing my best and they are trying to lose.''

Hameed played in last week's fourth test against England, in which Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir are alleged to have deliberately bowled no-balls in conspiracy with bookmakers.

The International Cricket Council suspended Asif, Amir and test captain Salman Butt this week while it investigates them for various offenses under the sport's anti-corruption code.

The ICC has not detailed the charges, which followed a sting operation detailed in last week's News of the World that alleged that a middleman accepted payment in exchange for the deliberate no-balls in the match at Lord's, which Pakistan lost by an innings and 225 runs for its worst ever test defeat.

The ICC has called it the biggest fixing scandal to hit cricket for a decade. The News of the World said its Sunday edition will claim that a fourth Pakistan player is being investigated by the ICC, but that he cannot be named for legal reasons.

The tabloid said Butt, Amir and Asif face a total of 23 charges from the ICC. The captain of Pakistan's limited overs teams has apologized to cricket fans for the controversy.

Shahid Afridi said Saturday that the players in the squad for the remaining two Twenty20 and five one-day matches against England were upset by the allegations.

''On behalf of these boys, I know they're not in this series, I want to say sorry to all cricket lovers and all cricketing nations,'' Afridi said.

''It's very bad news,'' Afridi said ahead of Sunday's first Twenty20 in Cardiff. ''It's a big challenge for me as captain but we're all ready. The coach and I are not talking about the issue _ we are here to play cricket.''

The trio were released without criminal charge after being questioned by London police on Friday but could be banned from cricket for life if found guilty.

The Pakistan Cricket Board's legal adviser said Saturday that Butt, Amir and Asif have denied knowledge of any alleged wrongdoing by the middleman, agent Mazhar Majeed.

''The players have informed the police that the man was their agent, but they had no knowledge,'' about his alleged wrongdoing, Tafazzul Rizvi told private television channels in Pakistan.

The News of the World has accused Majeed of acting as a middleman, accepting money in exchange for getting Asif and Amir to bowl intentional no-balls.

''I've told the boys, 'don't read the newspapers,''' Afridi said. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said Friday the allegations that the case was the most serious case of corruption since South Africa captain Hansie Cronje was banned for life 10 years ago.

Cronje admitted to forecasting results in exchange for money from a London bookmaker, prompting the ICC to create its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).

The News of the World said that its Sunday edition will include proof that Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan was mistaken in his assertion that the paper recorded Majeed discussing the timing of the no-balls after they were bowled on Aug. 26.

Hasan, Pakistan's top diplomat in Britain, has accused the ICC of bias for banning the players while police are still looking into the case.

''After the shocking, arbitrary and high-handed suspension of the three Pakistani cricketers through the ICC's uncalled for action, nothing is coming to me as a surprise,'' Hasan said in a statement Friday. ''Rather, my apprehensions that there is a *** in the whole affair are being strengthened.''

Lorgat has denied that the charges were evidence of bias and said the ICC was committed to maintaining the country's status as a full member of the body. -AP

Shouldn't this be merged with the spot fixing thread? Or does this have a different line of discussion?
