Re: Pakistan star admits thrown match

PP007, looks like you didn’t read the Twenty20 thread at all. Malik’s team was robbed of victory against Eagles 10 minutes after the game was over. According to Malik umpires kept telling him during the game that his team was on schedule in bowling the overs but after the game was over Malik’s team was victorious the game referee announced that Malik’s team was 2 overs behind schedule and gave 12 runs to Lahore eagles which made Eagles victorious… hence all the ghussa.

Re: Pakistan star admits thrown match

Isn't it sensible to stand up for your team and expose a corrupt cricket board? I think Malik did the right thing without a doubt.

Pakistan ban Malik for one Test for throwing match](http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/050502/3/anwf.html)

LAHORE, Pakistan (AFP) - Pakistan cricket chiefs banned all-rounder Shoaib Malik for one Test and fined him 75 percent of his next two international match fees for throwing a domestic game, an official said.

The 23-year-old, leading his hometown Sialkot team, admitted throwing the Twenty20 tournament match against the Karachi Zebras on Thursday in protest after his team was penalised for a slow over rate in another match.

The decision by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) means he will miss the first Test of his country’s upcoming tour of the West Indies later this month.

“What he did was bad for Pakistan cricket and we have banned him for one Test and he will pay a 75 percent match fee fine whenever he next plays for Pakistan,” a PCB spokesman said on Monday.

“He was also severely reprimanded, as were the Sialkot team management and the coach.”

Malik, currently playing in Abu Dhabi, was initially fined 10,000 rupees (around 170 US dollars) by match referee Rizwan Khatib for admitting the offense in television comments, and was asked to appear before an inquiry committee.

“What he did was in the spur of the moment. It was not pre-determined nor were there any financial implications like match-fixing for money,” said the spokesman.

Malik appeared before a three-member committee – comprising former Test players Haroon Rasheed and Shafiq Ahmed, and PCB legal adviser Asghar Haider – on Saturday and confessed.

“I have given my viewpoint. I have spoken the truth before the committee and now the decision is up to the PCB,” Malik said after the hearing.

The PCB spokesman said the board hoped its stance would prevent similar acts of misconduct from happening in future as they were detrimental to the sport.

Pakistan cricket has been tainted by match-fixing allegations in the past with former captain Salim Malik banned for life and several others fined after an inquiry, including current skipper Inzamam-ul Haq and now-retired Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.

Malik’s team were chasing 176 to win and needed only 20 off the last three overs, but ended at 171-3, losing by four runs.

Malik’s decision helped Karachi Zebras earn a place in the triangular stage of the event but the PCB declared the result of the match null and void, eliminating both teams from the second stage.

Pakistan launched its first ever Twenty20 Cup, in which each team plays a 20 over innings, after similar events were a big success in England, Australia and South Africa.

Faisalabad won the inaugural Twenty20 Cup on Saturday night.
