Good spot Tom if all true could ruin slot of careers me thinks

[maxy1]

agreed - if that reports even 60 % true there would be serious problems 4 the pakistan team , wouldnt surprise me if it was all 100 % true , i feel for the pakistan fans tho whatever the cricket scandal is there team always seems to be rite in the middle 

[tommo256]

It is sick, how they want to ruin the gentlemans sport just for there gain

[roco]

If proved to be true got to be at least life time bans which could decimate the Pakistan side for a while but got to be proven in a court of law first

How incredibly pathetic if the revelations are true.
I was quietly pleased that they won the last Test as it meant the world to the Pakistani fans after all the crap their country has been through recently.

It would be absolutely DISGRACEFUL is these allegations came out to be true. Looking at that News of the World article, looks pretty believable. Also if you look at Amir's first no-ball in the 3rd over from sideon, Salman Butt is looking in the direction of the wicket... is this a sign?

Utterly disgraceful. I don't know how they can even consider doing it. NOTW isn't a favourite paper of mine by any stretch of the imagination, but damn they know how to expose people! First John Higgins, then Fergie (ex-wife of Prince Andrew), now this! It's once again a blot on the landscape for cricketers, nobody wants this in the game...

[turnitayard]

its a disgrace and yet again pakistan are to blame,there fans are so passionate and deserve far more than this

[procricket]

makes you wonder how far the cookie crumbles it ok just blaming the Pakistan team i wonder how many in truth around the world have taken a bung or two.

infact sometimes i wonder if it only club cricket and pub football is the only true spirit left in the games....

were there is fast money there is greed were there greed there corruption

[turnitayard]

i have a feeling there is pressure put on some of the young pakistan players but its still no excuse,

[procricket]

Pressure they over pampared so called stars do not understand the word pressure.....at all

[turnitayard]

Your right buddy i would love that pressure playing international cricket

[tommy2tink]

On a slightly different note...did anyone notice the ear pads and screws in Saeed Ajmal's Masuri were coloured, and differently so on either side? Is this something that has been done specially for him only? Or is there somewhere you can buy the ear pads and screws in different colours?

Also, Umar Akmal suddenly seems to have come to life with his batting, now that there is no pressure on it...
