Spot-fixing/Match-fixing scandal

[STD]

 

[Awesome]

Now the latest argument that NOTW is above and beyond making this up, let me remind you that is a trashy tabloid and has been sued many times before for doing the same

News Of The World sued by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt | WORLD SHOWBIZ

The British Newspaper News Of The World is being sued by the Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for publishing inaccurate allegations about their relationship.

In a story published on 24 January, News Of The World revealed that the couple would separate and had agreed the division of assets and custody of their children.

The action comes following the publication by the News of the World of allegations that Jolie and / or Pitt had visited a divorce lawyer in December, and that an agreement had been reached between them regarding custody of their children and the dividing of their joint assets of £205m. The newspaper added that the agreement had been signed last month and that the separation would occur imminently.

However, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lawyer, Keith Schilling, called the “widely republished” allegations “false and intrusive” and the paper had failed to meet “reasonable demands” for an apology.

It is extremely simple. Either get a confession from Pakistani players (which is very possible too) or show me the credibility of the best evidence you have against them.

Btw, the thing that it was all a set up has been published by Express News

and the argument that the video has to be 1) published for world view 2) proven as accurate based on its time of recording and 3) Investigate the Indian link who Mazhar Majeed admits were his top financiers 4) where did the 150,000 pounds go?

^^ every breaking news channels has been sued now and then even the biggies.

The silenece of the people involved already suggests that there is something fishy, otherwise one would have outrightededly denied any involvement and cried it as an allegations.

Most of the prominent players have acknowledged the issue in the international level. Its now upto the formers as to when they can accept this reality.

PCB has also decided to sue 'The News Of the World' Newspaper, as has been reported by Dunya TV.

And the silence, Benny is talkin about, may be due to inability and incompetance of managment of PCB. But finally a positive step by PCB.

 

[Awesome]

Very easily after a big no ball by Amir they could've gone and recorded a video about all the spot fixing.

The NOTW has lied previously for a story. Its a paper with a very shoddy reputation.

The main target seems to be Mohammad Amir right after his fastest 50 wickets streak in 10 matches.

^Many are envious of Amir and Asif Combo. ^^^This is a possibility.

Another exaggeration by NOTW.

KARACHI: Pakistan's former captain Younis Khan has sent a legal notice to the British tabloid which had alleged that he had also signed brothers Mazhar and Azhar Majeed, who act as agents for several Pakistani cricketers.

Reliable sources close to Younis said, the former captain instructed his lawyer, Ahmed Qayyum to issue the notice to 'News of the World' for publishing a report which said that Azhar and Mazhar were the agents of Younis.

The source said Younis was one of the few Pakistani players who had refused to sign Azhar and Majeed as agents for them in England.

M azhar Majeed is at the centre of a new match-fixing scandal and was arrested and later released on bail for trying to defraud bookmakers.

Mazhar claimed that he had paid bribes to some Pakistani players, including captain Salman Butt, for spot-fixing in the fourth Test against England at Lord's.

Mazhar's claims have set off a major investigation by the ICC and the Scotland Yard into fixing allegations.

"Yes the notice has been sent and in it Younis has demanded that the newspaper publish a denial and also pay damages of $10,000 pounds towards the flood relief fund for the millions of Pakistanis displaced by the floods," the source said.

"The brothers approached Pakistani players to sign them on during the 2006 tour and Younis refused," the source added.

The brothers are believed to have formalised their relations with members of the Pakistan squad on the 2006 tour and, though it remains unclear whether any official agreement was signed, over a number of years Azhar and Mazhar have handled various sponsorship and marketing contracts for the players in the UK.

Younis stepped down as captain of the Pakistan side last November after an ODI series loss to New Zealand, claiming that he no longer had control over his players.

He was called up for the ODI series in Australia where he played under Mohammad Yousuf's leadership. Soon after the series he was punished by a PCB inquiry committee which ruled that he would not be picked for future Pakistan squads for an indefinite period of time.

Younis appealed against the decision when it was referred back to the PCB by a tribunal. It has remained there, however, reportedly due to personal differences between PCB chairman Ejaz Butt and Younis.

Despite calls by a number of ex-players, Younis has not returned either to the Test or ODI side since the Australia series.

Three payers will be suspended by PCB today as per Geo news, these are Salman, Asif and Aamer.
Seems that PCB is getting somewhat convinced of their involvement.

PCB has already issued statements like the guilty will be punished .. etc etc..
If it was all false there was no point in releasing statements earlier.

Using Scotland-yard to pin down Aamer seems to be a bad/big argument.

Btwn will Veena Malik be also sued?

 

[lionheart1]

Well you know nothing about the legal procedure and Pakistan cricket will not be banned but the players itself....... and that too for the rest of their lives

No one is denying the possibility of Spot Fixing. May be PCB's statement was to relieve pressure and to show world that they will cooperate.

As far as Veena Malik is concerned! It was a personal matter between Asif And Veena, which was made public by Veena Malik. Can't say anything about that.
