Could Mazhar be a double crosser? May be he threw some other story to players while a different one to the undercover investigators?
I was just thinking about all this saga once a friend said that this is a trap to destroy Pakistan cricket. We all know Salman Butt is not a great batsman who can chose to spot fix, Kamran Akmal is a lousy keeper how can he intentionally drop catches when he is a natural dropper?
Re: Agent double cross?
captain I know that the self victimization might feel better than this all being actually true… but denial will get you nowhere brother..
the look on the players today… butt’s attitude in the conference.. has really confirmed it to me..
all cricketing world needs to very severely stamp down match/spot fixing. these players should be banned.
Re: Agent double cross?
What other story? something like…
Salman Butt to Muhammad Amir: “Amir boy, 3rd over, pehli ball, no-ball karana… Ramzan main sawab milay ga…” ?
Re: Agent double cross?
I am not trying to ‘deny’, I am just trying to find possibilities because we only heard/saw video of the agent, no player said anything on the video. Let it go to courts where players will hopefully utter everything.
Re: Agent double cross?
Ya I hope the details of the court hearings or questioning are made public!
Just saw Rameez’s interview on Sky.. man he looked really disturbed about it. disturbed and angry.
Re: Agent double cross?
if the players were innocent, they would have said so. they would have turned up at the post match ceremony. they would have fought back tooth and nail in the interviews.
you should watch Butt’s press conference. he was pissing himself. looked terrified. couldn’t speak English properly which is why he was made captain in the first place. and at no point at all did he said coherently in one sentence that these allegations are false and I’m innocent. he did say things here and there but never came out with a clear statement despite being asked a straight question if he was innocent re the allegations.
Re: Agent double cross?
^exactly. if innocent… they shouldve all come up and made statements denying all this.. that dint happen.. and butts interview really summed it up.. the players wore guilt look on their face all day..
Re: Agent double cross?
As Sharabee and even Ramiz mentioned here Salman Butt wore the look of guilt during the press conference, his voice clearly shaking. he did not look confident at all. If he was truly innocent then he had absolutely nothing to fear but his expressions told a different story
Re: Agent double cross?
there’s some possibility that players got duped by some kind of double crossing game.
But yes, Salman’s body language today wasn’t that encouraging.
Re: Agent double cross?
lovely argument here! aren’t you guys ashamed to even try to defend these crooks? 
otoh may be these are your true representatioves
Re: Agent double cross?
I agree with you all that they should’ve come out all clear, but as clearly seen that the players had the money, they were seen with a guy who (supposedly) management had warned against. Could it be that guilt that kept them from completely saying “I didn’t do it”? Hopefully everything will become clear once it gets to the court.
Re: Agent double cross?
Yes there is shame but there are always 1000 possibilities for everything that happens. These guys clearly took money, they kept in contact with a forbidden-guy they are guilty. Whether what they did is really what Mazhar is claiming, we need to wait for the court proceedings.
Re: Agent double cross?
These rat mofos deserve to rot in prison. I hope Scotland yard arrests them and let them get their bookie friends to bail them out of prison.
PCB should immediately terminate their contracts - and once Scotland yard is done with them, we should file civil court cases agains them in Pakistan.
They should be sent to prison for a long time - that way the other low lifes will also learn a lesson.
Re: Agent double cross?
I do agree with you, fortunately this is not Pakistani police or Malik Qayyum handling the case, no Arab country involved so there is very good chance we will have justice. Let the case take its due course and let full truth come out, currently all signs point against the players.
Re: Agent double cross?
As much mad as I am, I do see some point in Captain1’s post. We all are disgusted and hurt beyond imagination and his post may sound a bit like ‘clutching at straws’. I also agree that Salman’s body language is very unsure but I’d rather wait for investigations to finish. Evidence is d@mning but lets see what unfolds in coming days.
Re: Agent double cross?
The most one can argue in favour of the conspiracy theory is that it was an intentional effort to bribe the players over a small thing that they might have thought was no big deal, that is, take money for a few no balls.
But even then they only have themselves to blame for getting themselves into it.
Re: Agent double cross?
once proven, all culprits should be handed to each big city of Pakistan and same treatment should be done as what occured in Sialkot couple of day ago… ( I am really sorry to every one that I am making such an inhumane statement, but I am all so disappointed and I unable to control my self).
Re: Agent double cross?
Thats when a human being is tested, the real character comes out i.e. reaction when unable to control yourself, that is how the mob reacted when they were unable to control themselves.
Re: Agent double cross?
agree with captain..
what happened to the sialkot brothers.. should not happen to anyone I feel.. no matter how big the crime is… what is inhumane.. is inhumane..
Re: Agent double cross?
Captaan jee, I said once PROVEN…not exactly like it happened in Sialkot.. anyways, I know its harsh to say…All these players and corrupt ppl are to made examples…
