It is well known that spot fixing was started in county cricket. Many players have fixed games but if there English then ECB will brush it under the carpet.

Agree Kash..
Westfield was "influenced by Kaneria", so its not so bad..absolute rubbish.

If someone kept telling me to stab a guy, would the punishement be less, because someone kept telling me to?? I dont think so.


I get the feeling, the cash was more of an infulence that Kaneria.....would Westfield have done it for nothing?? Regardless of what Kaneria said?

tbh, same question could be asked of Amir.

a while ago when it use to be 3 day county cricket. if they lost a day to the weather and there was 2 days remaining.. captains use to forfeit innings. so a result could be attained. to me that coulda been used to fix games. how many bookies would have had the odds on a draw at that stage? and the higher odds for a positive result. all that meant is a one team batted poorly (maybe on purpose) and the opposition won.

Were Indian bookies involved?

Most likely

But adding to that, if its not an Indian Bookie, it coudl be a Chinese group, a Rsussian group, its gambling and money, as long as somethingis fixed and peopel can make money, they'd bet on anything.

The PLAYERS are the ones who clean up cricket

Exactly. Players need to take the blame fully. No ifs and buts.
All these scandals makes me think how many of the players are clean. Im sure the top players are also involved, atleast some, and most probably the boards and ICC combined are putting this under the carpet. If a big player is exposed, then its going to affect the image of cricket and all these sponsors and investors that cricket has will take a beating.

Why do you think *** ****** was bumped off during that tour of West Indies?

The game of cricket is corrupt to the core.

As is football
