Let us see how it unfolds.
Yep. Let's wait for more facts to be established. It's not a clear cut case as many assume. Thus, the current benefit is to these players.

going by sreesanth's twitter rant on harbhajan and slapgate, you can be sure he willprovide the media plently of fodder in the next few weeks

Look,I don't know what the evidence against him is and I am not trying to convince anybody here. All I know is that somehow he does not seem like the kind of person who can do it of his own volition.
If only somehow he does not seem like the kind of person could be used as a defence in a court of law. The police claims to have audio transcripts over 2 months of conversations and IM messages between players and the bookies. That itself is quite compelling evidence of his willing involvement.

Same defense was used for Aamir but I get where you are coming from...Sreeshanth is corrupt but probably being made scapegoat for something bigger and shady-Till proven it will only be a conspiracy theory

Doesn't seem to be a very strong case based on evidences available till now. But police won't touch ppl of that profile if they dont have enough evidence. Honestly speaking I took sreesanth as immature but not somebody who could be in this mess. I wish very much that he comes clean though mind says otherwise,sadly.

Here is what shady about this whole deal Firstly these are the points I agree with 1)I agree Spot and Match-Fixing happens 2)I am sure there is a great chance that Sreeshanth and the other 2 guys are involved 3)Delhi Police-a very ineeficient and corrupt body cracks a very high profile case-Fai enough But what's minbdboggling is 1)Delhi Police making a statement that apart from these 3 every body else is clean 2)Calling Sreeshanth who was till recently part of the squad and only away due to injury as the king-pin 3)His name being involved after a moderately publicised twitter outburst 4)More Shady looking moments in the tournament given a clean-chit 5)The 3 players belonging to a smaller and comparitively less-influential franchise.

They didnt say that. That was just media speculation.
Fine apart from that one point what do you think...I am sure everything is not cut and dry as it looks

One thing Dehli Police does very well is tracking and catching Bookies and Fixing players. They might be inefficient in any other law maintenance operations but 'busting Match Fixing' is in their domain. The DP has had pertty bad publicity recently and the Commissioner is going to retire in few months. This was their best opportunity to hunt lost 'glory'... Whther they are efficient in Crime stopping or not but they do look forward to IPL every year to pull out few Rabbits out of their Hats using the IPL.. I think they'd details of other players too and especially the RP Singh spot fixing... They might've gone to BCCI/IPL with all the evidence and BCCI/IPL struck a deal with them, as they do every year. "You expose a particular set of players and look away from other players who are close to BCCI/IPL bigwigs"...You go to town EXPOSING one set of players who are expendable by BCCI but don't touch the other players who have right connections.. You hunt your glory but don't harm 'our set of players'...

Why do people keep bringing up RP Singh's no ball ? So a bowler can never over step in the final delivery ? There have been many instances where bowlers have bowled wides or full tosses under pressure in international games in final overs. Stupid mentality to assume that its spot fixing just because its a no ball which resulted in a win.

No even in Gully cricket,it is basic common sense not to bowl a wide or a no ball in the last delivery in a situation like that.Also did you see how far along he went over the line,if that is still not shady then dont know what is

Over step? It was a massive over step... Whats the harm in investigating him? Maybe he gave signals prior to bowling that noball.. I say investigate Bhajji too for his blatant legside wides which usually goes for 5 wides.. Why should you think those players be over board?

First the umpires have to be investigated.. Mumbai dons have a say over umpiring in all mumbai matches. won two matches purely through that in addition to giving 13 runs an over

If those are spot fixed and he was getting paid for them,Bhajji would be richer than Bill gates :giggle:
