Re: Scotland Yard finds no solid evidence of match fixing
Its okay to jump out if you know how it all happened. Go thru the following, and you will have your answers
Was there some fixing?
Yes sure there were, thru Salman Butt
Why Aamer?
Because no one would suspect him because of the way he performed in the series
Why didn't Aamir refuse when Salman proposed this idea?
It's not easy to go against your captain specially when you are new. Rashid Latif and Basit Ali refused their captain Salim Malik and were dropped. Had Amir raised a red flag, none of ud would have believed him anyways.
Why did Salman decide to fix?
many reasons
1. He is not sure he will remain captain or part of the team after this dismal performances. Why not make some bucks.
2. If he is caught, there is a bright side. People would believe that everything was fixed and that Pak batting would have fared better otherwise. Salman knows more than anyone that thats not the case, but between "fixer" and "not good enough", he picked the former.
3. Fixing is hard to prove, since its all verbal contracts with no records. Salman knew there is a good chance he could come out clean. He just might be right, most likely he is.
Why he is not responding with yes or no, when asked about match fixing?
He does not wanna lie in ramzan. He would rather say its just allegation, until proof is presented. Keep in mind, he did not cheat in Ramzan either. Fixing happened before Ramzan started.
