Pakistan interior minister warns Pak players not to fix the cricket match

[ganeshran]

:omg:

Islamabad: Ahead of their crucial World Cup semi-final against India, Pakitani cricketers have been warned not to indulge in any match-fixing by Interior Minister Rehman Malik who said he was keeping a "close watch" on their activities. "I gave a warning that there should be no match-fixing. I am keeping a close watch. If any such thing happens, we are going to take action," Malik said two days ahead of the game in Mohali which will showcase one of the world's most intense sporting rivalries. Malik said that though he was "sure the team has very clean members", intelligence is being gathered on the Pakistani cricketers, including "who are meeting them and the position of their telephones". "This is necessary because we can't take a chance after what happened in London," he said, in a reference to a recent match-fixing controversy in Britain involving three Pakistani players.

Seriously how can Pakistan gather intelligence on players on Indian soil? Dont they have to go through our phone tapping laws first?

[King Tendulkar]

They have got their excuses in all ready!

They are just making ground for excuses for losing the match.

The bookie which was found in Team India pavilion during match should not be allowed to come to Pakistan's side.

If the match is going to be fixed, bookies will not benefit if Pakistan loses. Since the odds are favoring India, an Indian win will actually be a loss for the bookies (though the amount of betting on final will decrease) So whichever side wins, I think they fully deserve the victory.

We Indians hate the Aussies, Paks and maybe the Lankans. The Pakistani's hate each other.

Rehman Malik is one the biggest crooks ever! After Zardari.. Instead of supporting the team he comes with this BS! heres what Imran Khan had to say: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/imran-rubbishes-maliks-warning-to-pak-team-on-match-fixing/768303/

"Khan said he was more worried about the activities of Malik than of the Pakistan cricket team." :hysterical:

Not really. The bets are always weighted. India current has higher odds, that means a 10$ bet on India winning will a earn much less winning that a bet on Pak. Besides that is only for outright win. There are so many other areas that people bet on.

In a way the minster is right. He nows the paki mindset and the players mindset very well. He knows what his people are like. Correct to give the warning!
