Pakistan trio guilty of spot-fixing

The no-ball that polarized the cricketing world

We've seen the evidence, the verdict and sentences have been handed down. But have all the questions surrounding the scandal been answered to their fullest and what have we learnt?


I find it highly unfair, that the system is such, where great international talents are unable to reach their full potential. Cut short by a mistake brought about by misuse of trust and the pressures of financial security... The actions of Amir, Butt and Asif were the most dishonorable of sporting acts. However, the one lesson I think that must be taken away from this experience is not 'don't spot-fix'. It is that we must spread the wealth of a fantastic game to all of those who provide such exhilarating entertainment. Pay these special talents what they're worth. Hopefully one day we can be blessed to see Amir striding towards the crease with the red rock in hand and fear in the eyes of the batsman.
