A sigh of relief


This is a reaction to an article 'Cricket In Crisis' (Sept.31). The article is regarding the allegations with a betting racket during the England-Pakistan Test series. The article talked about the stringent of Indian and South African boards as to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) when it comes to match fixing. The urge is that the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the PCB should not spare anyone irrespective of whatsoever if they are found guilty.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. The ICC suspended Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer on 03/09/2010. Even the Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Hasan was also suspended.

It is an inspiring move by the ICC to curb the menace. I mean if you are guilty you are ought to be punished. There is no second thought about it. This would not just make cricket fans lose trust in the game but it would further refine cricket to a much higher level. I am glad it happened. Otherwise, I would also start playing cricket and become a millionaire overnight......because anyway I'll be FIXED!
