This could be lowest state of Pak's Cricket. And now it seems really difficult for them to come out of it soon.

So do you think, these people just approach Pakistani players?I dont think they will stick to just matches involvin Pakistan.I am sure, this goes on with other countries too. And this will be buried as fast as it can be.Within 2-3 weeks, it will be all settled.

Its strange that only Pak players get caught.Either it happens everywhere, but news doesn't comes out, or, only Pak players get involved in such things as they are desperate for income (remember they are not in I P L, & now there are no matches happening in Pak anymore)

IPL is there from just 2 yrs or so.. match fixing scandals are coming out from days of Kapil Dev/Azhar etc.And once a person is greedy, he wudnt see that "oh i am earning enough from I P L, now i wont get involved in fixing"... they will continue fixing matches.

Now ICC comes up with a Joke!

Salman Butt banned for 10 years but ban suspended for 5 years
Asif banned for 7 years but ban suspended for 2 years
Amir banned for 5 years.

No fines imposed.

I am sure after 2 years these bans will be lifted effectively all 3 escape.

Nobody interested???

What I wonder is will Pakistan govt. allow this ruling?

First of all how come Butt, Amir agree to reach there? Or were they there ever since caught?

Butt gets 2 years 6 months in jail, Asif gets 1 year, Amir six months
