Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
Icon even if UK does not punish these retards because of these loopholes.. the ICC should ban them for life.. so should PCB.
On cricinfo and other cricket websites a lot of international fans are seriously demanding that Pakistan be banned from International Cricket for a few years.. just like SA was in the early 90s.. argument being that it's the only team who is consistently involved in match fixing ball tampering steroids etc etc. I am not in agreement with this.. but just saying that in an attempt to clean its image the LEAST Pakistan / PCB should do is ban these players FOR LIFE.

Most of the posters on these sites are Indians and how could they let such a chance go by.
having said that all these idiots should be banned.
Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
daleel.. not everything has to turn into the same ol jaahil ind vs pak bakvaas.
and No.. a lot of people demanding this are NOT Indians.
Are you really surprised that a significant number of international cricket fans COULD demand this? I mean come on.. it's been a disgrace after another for how many years now?
Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
Didn't PCB banned some of these jokers for life and tor a yr a few months back ?
Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
faraz.. yes.. which is another disgrace that players get banned and come back within months.. this time it needs to be for life and it needs to be strictly implemented.... thats why I said the ban shouldnt only come from PCB.. but ICC too...
Re: Arrest Over Cricket ‘Match-Fixing’ At Lords
The ones banned were the least problems (EDIT: actually Malik was also banned) and guess what PCB went begging to bring them back 
PCB only fined some idiots (Akmal bros, Shoaib Malik) while letting everything else go by.

of course. but can you blame them from taking advantage of the situation?
there was talk that the English team is considering not playing the ODI series. can there be a bigger slap on the face on that? but can we blame them? no. they're going to rub it in. these retards have humiliated us beyond belief... and made it open season for everyone.
similarly, Naser Hussain etc yap on about how bad Trott and Broad must feel. I say fk them. no one feels worse than the people of Pakistan. the real victims are the ppl of Pakistan - not fking Broad. not fking Trott and not the bloody English team.
and to think that these beghairat retards had no shame to even think about the halaat back home... no one is asking them to stop living their lives but spare a moment for the food victims... and then to heap so much humiliation on us in the middle of this crisis.
all of them deserve life bans and much more. even though I'm broken up about losing Aamer, my main concern is that ALL the crooks must be caught and removed... not just the ones who were "stupid" enough to get caught this time. we need all these traitors gone. they should try to turn them on each other to get the full list of matchfixers. I'm sure they'll give up the whole list if the right kind of pressure is applied or the right incentives are offered. we need this team cleaned up. not a single rat should be left behind.

Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
but i didnt know, cause i never lived in pak and only had the image given to me by everyone that waseem was a true hero. has somebody read the report which i posted? if its true, than it didnt happen once or twice, but since the beginning of the 90s and everyone knew it!
always thought sarfraz nawaz was the biggest psycho, but now i'm starting to believe him ....sad sad most of the pak cricket has been a farce for the last 20years aaaaarghhh !!!!!!!! DISGUSTING
Yes, that report has been out for a while. Waseem Akram has been a hero because of what he was able to do with the ball. However, there's no denying the fact that most of the cricketers during the nineties were cheats and match-fixers... Saleem Malik and Wasim Akram being the biggest of them all.

don't forget Malik's humzulf... Ijaz Ahmed. he was one of the leading characters in the mess with Malik and Akram.
Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
Pathetic! Just the kind of publicity Pakistan needs right now (!) If these people are found to be guilty, they should be banned for life and I hope it is LIFE and not 2 -3 years.
Re: Arrest Over Cricket 'Match-Fixing' At Lords
don't forget Malik's humzulf...** Ijaz Ahmed**. he was one of the leading characters in the mess with Malik and Akram.

Cricket match-fixing: suspicion falls on 80 games
More than 80 international cricket matches will be investigated amid allegations that a London businessman has been running a multi-million-pound match-fixing racket.
The sport was thrown into turmoil after four Pakistan players were questioned as part of a Scotland Yard inquiry into claims they had taken orders from Mazhar Majeed, a British property developer and sports agent, to corrupt a Test match at Lord’s.
*
Sources said that the passports of the cricketers under investigation could be seized and that up to seven players could be questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud. The rest of the squad could also be interviewed as potential witnesses.*
Conspiracy to defraud carries a maximum jail term of 10 years.
England’s victory to seal the four-match series yesterday was tainted as details of the scandal emerged.
In a tabloid newspaper sting, Mr Majeed claimed that he had been running a racket with seven players for “about two and a half years” and added “we’ve made masses and masses of money”.
According to the newspaper, before the game at Lord’s, he specifically ordered two Pakistan players to deliver deliberate no-balls, by overstepping the crease as they bowled.
They did so exactly at the moments he pinpointed on Thursday and Friday. Mr Majeed reportedly claimed that by tipping off betting syndicates they could place “spot” bets and make millions of pounds.
He also made more serious claims that he could arrange to have players throw Test matches and one-day internationals, it is alleged.
The Daily Telegraph can disclose that Mr Majeed, who presents himself as a property tycoon and football club owner, has left thousands of pounds in unpaid bills and a string of companies that have closed in his wake.
Faisal Hameed, a former business partner of Mr Majeed, said that three years ago their Croydon-based company Bluesky Developments, which sponsored some of the Pakistan players, was dissolved after it began losing money due to the financial crisis.
Sources said that the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit, whose investigators flew in from their base in Dubai yesterday, would study all 82 Tests and one-day matches played by Pakistan in the period Mr Majeed reportedly claimed to have rigged matches.
They will work with the Metropolitan Police, who are leading the inquiry into the allegation that two bowlers — Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif — deliberately bowled no-balls at Lord’s after Mr Majeed was handed £150,000.
The team manager confirmed that detectives raided the players’ hotel on Saturday night, seizing their mobile phones. Amir, Asif, Salman Butt, the team captain, and Kamran Akmal, the wicketkeeper, have all been questioned and provided statements to police. Mr Majeed, 35, was arrested on Saturday night on conspiracy to defraud bookmakers.
The accounts of Bluesky, and Croydon Athletic football club, a non-league team owned by him, will be studied by detectives. According to the reports, Mr Majeed boasted he laundered the proceeds of the match-fixing racket through the club.
allegations about no-balls being bowled deliberately, but we will follow the money trail and see where that leads us.”
The inquiry will be led by the Specialist and Economic Crime Department – which has also investigated MPs suspected of expenses fraud.
Commentators said that earlier Tests at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge, which featured a host of no-balls, wides and dropped catches, had also raised suspicions.
Asif Ali Zardari, the president of Pakistan, was said to have asked for a report from the country’s cricket board on the allegations.
After their defeat yesterday, the Pakistani players were booed by their own supporters and their bus had tomatoes thrown at it as it left Lord’s. A group of about 20 Pakistan fans directed abuse at Butt, chanting “match-fixer”.
He rejected calls for him to step down from the captaincy. “These are just allegations, anyone can say anything about anyone, that doesn’t make them true,” Butt said after the game.
In an article for The Daily Telegraph, Ramiz Raja, the former Pakistan captain, wrote: “The people back home are suffering because of the fight against fundamentalism and the floods… Now it is a new scandal and it has hurt the entire country because of the love and admiration they have for the players.”
Lord Condon, the former head of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit, has previously confirmed that Pakistan’s tour of Australia last January was under investigation to assess whether the poor performance was a result of a “dysfunctional” team or “something more serious”.
Mr Majeed’s brother and business partner, Azhar, insisted yesterday that the allegations were “just rubbish”.
Angus Fraser, the former England bowler, said: “Everyone with a deep love or interest for the game will be absolutely appalled by these allegations.”
