Apparently some guy who was looking into corruption in sport/ betting, said that cricket is the one that is wide open for spot betting.

Mate , ano .

Case in point ; Aqib Javed , the current bowling Coach , had to retire himself over similar allegations . Yet here he is as #1 Coach . Mohammed Yousef , ditto . Younis Khan I believe has a similar Skeleton in his closet . Indians too , in the past . Hansie , naturellement .

Well I'm hearing all kinds of ripples that this is a big big issue.

It is , or its possible that it is . Yet , so was Javed . So was Yousef . They start losing , and tah-dah !!! Ban recinded .

Don't forget , Pakistan is a psuedo - military state . Thus , each time an administration changes . EVERYTHING changes . Thus , all it requires is the next guy along to feel that a little bet is not a major crime , and hes back .

Plus , Amir , especially is a star .

Thats possibly cos they dont make vast sums of money, unless they become a star such as Flintoff, they are ripe for the picking.

Problem is when you offer poor people money for something, most of the time they take it.

The sub - continent DOES actually , mate .

Even though it is about to move physically back to Lords , the real power is in Asia .

Not just that . The game lends itself to it . The nearest eg , I can give would be betting on the first throw in . Very difficult to monitor .

Gloss taken off any English win there.

The Ashes will be the true test, not against these cheats.
