im satisfied with the verdict but i would want amir back by all means, he was innocent, he was directed to do wrong things, therefore he should be given one more chance!

Very well deserve punishment. We have been saying that PCB could have save them. But Why? do we really trust on our boards? We know that a ban was placed on Shoaib Akhter in Past and we heard voices in his favour from everywhere and even some politicians were there to help him. Nobody was ready to listen what he has done? We could see a lot of demonstration from all the the Pakistan in favor of these 3 cricketers if the same punishment was given in Pakistan by Pakistani Board or Courts.

I totally agree.

It annoys me that Wasim akram, Inzi, Ijaz Ahmed have got away with throwing away so many matches for money.

They should b charged with treason instead of benig treated like heroes.

According to the Justice Qayum report the rot began in 1979 with Asif Iqbal. There was a lull (probably singlehandedly due to Imran Khan’s captaincy) which was followed by a complete collapse of ethics.

The report names and shames the likes of Wasim Akram, Salim Malik, Ijaz Ahmad and Inzamam-ul-Haq.

For a start advertising companies should at least refrain from displaying Wasim Akram’s face on TV, which is quite ridiculous when viewed with the mound of evidence against him. Otherwise it would indicate that being a corrupt match fixer still pays dividends.

Former players such Wasim Akram and Inzamam should no longer be depicted as cricketing ‘heroes’ but as cricketing villains, who betrayed the trust of the Pakistani public.

corruption by star heroes must be checked.Since the balance in the accounts of players has come to surface. The federal Board of Revenue should discharge its obligation/duty to charge to tax the ill-gotten money of corrupt players,

Certainly a law can be passed making overseas match fixing by national players is an act of treason. Yes, we need laws that are stricter than Sharia.

Not sure why we are bringing other countries in to this. Match fixing is a crime with the jurisdiction of whichever country in which it occurred.

Let us look inwards rather than pointing fingers. We do not want to be branded as people who always complain.

Match fixing incidents of IPL should also be investigated
