What a shameful act by these players, they want to get rich in one day match…they can play gambling instead but not in this game of cricket…
There were issues relating to match fixing in earlier years from all over the world, that were disturbing to their country men.
Being a Pakistani citizen I cannot stand to such misconducts and cheap acts from our players,
They deserve punishment and lesson for others…

Some of us as Pakistanis are looking for lame excuses. Cheaters in the team and now confirmed. Look at their shameful outlook as they walk into the courts and we still try to own them. Its better to disown them and walk away from them so that they can languish in agony in the prison.

Absolutely true….fixing does not depends on these 3 players! Many people from India and Dubai should be really involved. Unfortunately sub-continent players are in love with dollars and pounds and euros such that they forget the respect they owe to their motherland!

The cricketers committed crimes and should be punished.

I guess, the former PCB chariman Ejaj Butt and the Pakistan High Commission in London should also be questioned about their roles. When the news of corruption came out, they gave them blank support and blamed the media, Indians, Indian bookies, English media etc. etc.

Most Pakistanies wrote this as a conspiracy against Pakistan. You may blame bookies, agents and all other but it is the players who bring the pride and glory to their countries and they should be fully responsible of what they are doing.

Two things stand out in this
1. Salman Butt’s gripe that some players were living in houses well beyond their means!
2. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
Both these are central in my opinion as to what has happened. If you are powerful in Pakland then you feel invincible as all powerful are beyond the grip of the law as we only know to well so no need to debate. With it comes riches with whatever means you can employ / available to you. A combination of the above to get rich soon which is only to prevelant in a nascent society / or whatever it is that is if it is one thus has come to the fore.
I do however have a few more things to add
1. Also try Justice akram who let wasim akram off the hook claiming he was a fan . How could he have delivered justice when he himself admits the biase.
2. Let these boys serve their punishment and then consider the pound of flesh paid.
3. Please do not implicate their near and dear ones. They have been in my reckoning already suffered a living death!

I have lost faith in international cricket . I do not know for sure that these days the cricket test, one day and T20 or even world cup are played with free of corruption, because the amount of money in these games are so huge that no one can say for 100% accuracy about the fairness of the game. I would not be surprise if the cricket board of various countries are also culprit in the scam.
