Ahh okay, I do get spot/live betting, but when your putting on that much money on a certain 'spot' it has to be a lot more obvious. I mean guessing how many runs some guy is going to get is usually done in brackets, so I guess this must be too? This is a terrible thing to go down, but as has been said, it's clear that it is actually true. A sad day for Pakistan and cricket in general.

I know. I'm saying it's convenient for the guy planning when he will bowl the no balls. Logical from his point of view.

I don't see how they can "abandon" the test though. Under what grounds can it be cancelled plus you've got all the supporters who are turning up tomorrow.
That being said I doubt any of the players implicated will want to show their heads tomorrow.

Insomniac just wants Pakistan to "draw" a Test in the only way they know how, by cheating.

BBC News - Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam'
Thats what BBC have got up so far. Sounds like the man in the video is the one who's been arrested.

What's it got to do with Salman Butt?
Disappointing news if it is proven to be true. To whoever was asking about spot-betting, I think it's just used as something different to bet on, rather than the result. For example, in Football people bet on things like the number of corners in a match.

Salman Butt is involved.
As is Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Amir, and Mohammad Asif.
Remember how Cook got to a 100 in the 3rd test?
Makes you think

Its his manager implicated and the News of the World claim that Butt was the ring leader.
Just from the outside the only one who looks guilty would be Amir but I'm suspecting they've got alot harder proof than just the pictures of Amir bowling no balls.
