Spot Fixing?

[braveneutral]

They might win but with a load of no balls and comedic hit wickets!

What's 'black money'?

Bit dim.... sorry, but I just don't know.

some form of illegal, don't tell the taxman, payments?

[braveneutral]

That's pretty much what I got from it. I think it is to do with their contracts being capped.

[Durhamfootman]

Right.....

we can't give you a bigger contract, but join us and we'll see you all right, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!

is that really worse than spot fixing?

[ddb]

No not at all, whoops, if I said/implied that.

Sudhindra , Mohnish, Abhinav, Amit and Shalabh. BCCI have suspended the fixers caught on cam. BCCI strict as ever in dealing with fixers.

Again, sorry, I must make the point. Only one is fixer. One may be but they have only voice call on him, no video, he says it's faked.

I'm confused. First they've been fixing IPL games, then they haven't. 5 are banned but there's only 1 fixer...

They haven't been banned. Suspended while they are being investigated. I probably haven't made it clear when replying to incorrect posts.

4 are being investigated into tapes that had them saying that they could get more money and had been in IPL.

1, TP, top ranji wicket taker last year, bowled a huge no ball in a Indore league game. He has played for DC this IPL. Tapes for him are from last year in May but released now as India TV wanted the IPL link.

Another who plays for KXIP, who is one of the 4. But then there is a voice call which he says is faked which has him saying he'll bowl a no ball this year. He hasn't played this year though.

There were 5 clean players but forgot who they were now.

Really this sting isn't that big of a story. Not that it can be ignored but because of the players involved, it can be brushed aside by the BCCI.

Immediate suspension given to them. Probe has been ordered by BCCI.

BCCI do deal with match fixers properly which is good to see, as they have done with previous cases......there is always a risk with things like this, and if found guilty then they are very silly people.

A Kenyan player is being investigated:

This match is also being looked at as well as the primary complaint/accusation:

real shame that Kaneria got invoovled in fixing....class leg spinner, didnt need to get invovled in all this, but if he is guilty then a ban seems reasonable enough.

Sounds like Kaneria might be in more trouble....

Maybe Kaneria will claim he is into a ice cream business as well, not as profitable as the Salmans's ice cream shop though
