Spot Fixing?

[Aidan11]

Pakistan seem unbeatable in the UAE so I can't see them risking it.

Seems like some Pakistan players aren't keen on Amir returning to the team: http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/251 ... ammad-amir

I had a feeling this might happen although it seems to be more about his behaviour since returning than players not wanting to play alongside a tainted player.

It doesn't go into detail about his behaviour although it looks like he has an attitude problem on the field.


Might be a while before he gets back into international cricket.

Certainly won't be playing under Misbah. He is a man of principles.

Apparently, Hafeez refused to sign for Chittagong in the BPL because Amir is in the same team.

I am not making this argument but...

Fixing a few balls or throwing every ball.

Fixing is obviously hugely more damaging. And criminal.

This current claim about the third ODI is in no small part due to the 2010 cheating and I can understand current players not wishing to play alongside one of the culprits. Ideally the PCB should have disowned Amir in order to show the world that they will have no mercy to cheats.

Yes definitely criminal. But my point is that both parties can be seen to be cheating the game so a bit hypocritical to be completely all over the other party's actions.

I don't really have a point.

I wouldn't call chucking as cheating. Probably only Ajmal knew that he was a chucker. Most of the others just had a slight flex and probably didn't know they had an illegal action.

Maybe something about throwing (the first stone).

If Amir puts in a strong performance in the BPL it will leave the PCB in a tough place.
