Sreesanth, Chandilla and Ankit Chavan arrested for spot fixing in IPL

[maniac]

Not jumping on the bandwagon but deep in our hearts we did have doubts on the way some games just changed momentum....also the other confusing thing is how can one fix a game....spot fixing I can see but even if the bowler cooperates,you just can't accurately hit a boundary every time,etc....**** I am confused how does this work

[FischerTal]

you know that rule can be applied to batsmen as well.

spot fixing is an art that bowlers can craft easily in comparison to batsmen

There is no art...how difficult is it to bowl a wide or a noball....match fixing I agree :giggle:

knowing our trundlers, its not even an art. its basic bowling for them :giggle:

So this is what Mallu Pride and aggression of Sree was all about : Fixing. Always thought Sree was one of the passionate and honest cricketers around who always gave his 100%. The guy has now put every Indian Cricket fan to shame and tarnished the image of the league. Could have understood if a few domestic players were involved but involvement of member of our Cricket team is unbelievable and shocking. Now how can anyone taunt the Pakis for fixing when even our well paid players do the same thing.

@theunreal times Sreesanth, wailing as Police take him away: "I fixed no matches yaar! I am just a bad bowler!!"

[Sean Bradley]

I am not shocked, IPL is a well written fairy tale.

[asterix]

so when will bangalore police investigate RP?

RP was not spot fixing. It was sanctioned by BCCI...

For god's sake dont bring regional nonsense. Any one can do this , who knows who and all invloved.

now English media will get more reasons to bash ipl :facepalm:

[ravishingravi]

I hope this beginning of the end of pyjama league. BCCI is corrupt body in country. They don't care about the game. All they care for is money and power.

[Stuge]

hmm They ain't gulity until its proven and we are yet to see the evidence.

[Mahaa Raavana]

Hope to see ICC grow a pair and ask cricket boards to ban their players from taking part in IPL. That will at least help to contain the fixing cancer to India... For India ,there is no hope...:((

It's hardly beyond the realms of comprehension.....think about someone like Jayawardene's situation.....gets paid $1.4 million for playing 16-19 matches in 2 months....is captain of his franchise....whether he performs or not, does not have a bearing on his national team spot.....if the fixing is institutionally backed.....why not comply? it's a win-win really......the only thing to be careful about is to not leave any tracks..... Now, I don't think that the matches are fixed down to a tee.....however.....the final results and the general pattern of the tournament definitely are.....

Why you are posting unreliable tweets.

Even though both instances are f d up....you can always say our players fixed a league game and turned on their franchise where as pakis sold their country :giggle: When an Indian spot fixes an international game we will think of something else

For the sake of cricket, hope the allegations aren't true.
