asterix got the link in before me, I guess we can delete this one or merge... Basically the news of the world (UK newspaper) has caught one guy on video who had got Pakistan bowlers to bowl no balls at certain points. And they duly obliged with huge no balls from Amir and Asif. Massive news this...

OMFG!

Seems the captain himself is involved. Aamer and Asif have been implicated as well. They were paid some obscene money to bowl no-balls at precise moments.

It will be difficult for Pak without Amir and Asif in the next test...then they will be back.

Story was broken by NOTW (News of The World). Its a tabloid paper but they've done some great undercover work and broken many, many strories through their undercover work. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/924349/Cricket-in-the-dock-as-we-expose-betting-scandal-England-Pakistan-Test.html

Apparently the 'no balls' were the signals from the bowlers to confirm that the match has been fixed.. This explains the 'Trot+Broad' partnership after 7 wickets down for only 102 runs..

Blame IPL, they did not get contracts so they have to find another way to make money

i saw that Aamir's noball and i felt that it was ridiculous because of the distance by which he overstepped. It was a shortened version of Randiv's no ball, man this guy is just 18 and he is already alleged in being involved in such a scandal. What a waste of a talent and what a waste of a team Pakistan is.
