Spot Fixing Scandal Thread: The Legend Continues

[Themer]

I doubt this bookie and newspaper. If you look at video he is displaying all the money as if he knew its on video. If i am fixing anything i will not take money on table and deckit up nicely to be caught on tape.

You seriously doubt the validity of the video? The police wouldn't have arrested the person in question and be having a full blown investigation if the video wasn't real.

And he was counting the money hence why it was lined up in piles of the same height and he was counting it.

I was having a look at Bumbles twitter feed and he's been getting alot of "tweets" saying those exact things to him and about him.

Saying he's anti-Pakistan or anti-Sub Continent

Yes, but the fact of matter is, he thought he was in a secure location, and and full trust in the people he was dealing with, hence why he was so open about the whole thing. I imagine it happened in a secure and secret location and he had done it many times before.

Pakistan players kno they are always under scanner for match fixing and especially Kamran Akmal due to his role in Sydney. I will wait till police investigations are complete to say anyone is guily. If anyone is guilty then ban him for life from any form of cricket.

This isn't match fixing though, it's 'spot fixing' hence why it was not so obvious. The guy creating all of this, said he had not intended to start fixing the results yet.

"@BumbleCricket @Aggerscricket why is it that brown people's dealings with bookies are blown out of proportion yet white people's ones aren't"

Exactly the same things were said about South Africa 10 years ago. Most and I'd hope all fans on here would wholly condemn English players if they were shown to be engaged in such behaviour.

Sounds like the corruption agency had been investigating already.

I wish it wasn't true about Amir. He is (or rather, was) one of my favorite players in world cricket, certainly my favorite Pakistani cricketer.

As an Indian fan, it just makes me angry. We struggle so hard to get a decent fast bowler and still fail yet Pakistan produces them with ease and they don't want to put their talent to better use.

Always thought Salman Butt was better then that.

Now watch him go into hiding.

 

[ali_ed2001]

They let him go..so there may not be enough evidence?
