And another note...........did anyone else notice Beefy's eye? Very bloodshot indeed!
Looked as though he'd been on the booze all night! Maybe he decided to raid the minibar?
Or maybe he has just been working too many hours?

yes you can get the coloured pads and screws from australia

to be honest about corruption i suspect if you looked proffesional sports would resemble wrestling with many thing already sorted before the game has been played and that includes many sports football,rugby,cricket,, any sport were there hugh sums of money to be made in fact

Pakistan should give all the guilty parties life bans. The only stuff like this can be removed from cricket. But seeing how weak the PCB is, that will never happen.

It is a great shame for Broady, To havee to lose his name on honours and his record breaking stand with trott all because they want some money

I think the Pakistan players should receive a ban of 3-5 years as when they dish out life bans that is normally a month or so, not sure the icc will have the bottle to get involved but this need dealt with once and for all. This is something Pakistan need to remove from there team once and for all if they don't i certainly wont respect them or the team. I can see a big carpet at the ready though !!

I genuinely hope that there will be more revelations over the next few days and everything will be out in the open.For many years similar sitautions have been covered up by the Indian,Pakistan and Australia Cricket Boards amongst others.After the Hansie Cronje incident betting has actually reached a much bigger scale and there is much more money involved.Its such a shame for all the cricket fans around the world.

Where's the proof for this? As far as I know, there is nothing to do with the outcome of the match involved in the spot-fixing, as spot-fixing is exactly that, betting on fixed "spots" or moments in the match, of no real significance...

I think the news of the world have entrapped two or three very young, experienced cricketers, who know they have no money and no real way of making any, especially given the situations back in Pakistan and were nieve enough to think this was an easy way out.

Not entirely surprised at this, but, like many i expect more to come out.

Anyone see Butt's press conference after the game? When pressed to state they were false, he struggled.

I'm still amazed that people bet on no-balls!

If it's fixed, they know what going to happening, their never going to lose!

iand123 · « **Reply #370 on:** August 29, 2010, 08:42:55 PM »

good point, but if its not fixed it just seems mental to me.

i reckon KP was being paid to get out cheaply all summer, that must be the reason

It is all pretty ugly, but salman butt was pretty aggressive in his denile. Plus we must not forget that sky is owned by the same group as the news of the world. The two big winners from this are... Sky and the news of the world.
I feel very sorry for the pakistani team.

Surely none of this has come as a surprise, the bowling of a few no balls is the least of their problems, suspicion has long been held that they lose matches on demand for bribes. With such a huge turnover of players and comparative lack of money in the game coupled with a state run administrative system it will only be a matter of time before this all blew up.

"Greed is good" according to Gordon Gecko but it will always stain those who chase "easy" money and how long is a life ban in Pakistan???

Just to add to this - FYI according to the Times today - Afridi is a leading earner and he is only on �25K (average England Salery is �120K)

edit - FYI - Amir is a category B player in Pakistan, and his monthly retainer works out to �1,300

If these guys get offered say �50K it is not surprising they are tempted.

Once again it seriously begs the question as to what on earth are the Pak Administrators doing with their ICC handouts...
