Global match fixing - spsyed analysis. According to a report in The News of the World, Mazher Majeed accepted £150,000 sterling pounds to arrange a fix involving up to four cricket players, including new-ball bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, whom he asked to bowl no-balls at specific moments of the 4th test match with England played in August 2010 at the Lords cricket stadium in London-UK. Thanks to the sheer money greed has ensured there are not any sports events that are not fixed. Asian and Indian bookmakers, gamblers and betting syndicates are also deeply involved in home and away cricket matching, and evade justice. Secret filming appears to show Majeed counting the cash given to him by the newspaper in a London hotel for match fixing. A 35-year-old man was arrested Saturday 28 August 2010 on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers who are also involved with other match fixing rackets around the world. He was caught offering to fix part of England's cricket Test match with Pakistan. Posing as businessmen from the Far East, News of the World 'journalist' Mazher Mahmood told Majeed that they were planning to bet on when no balls occurred. Mahmood was successful in persuading Majeed to give information that would prove he could indeed rig matches. Majeed offered to bribe certain Pakistani bowlers to manipulate the game. He then offers to ask certain bowlers to make sure they bowl "no balls" at specific points in the match. No balls were delivered during the Test match exactly as described in the video footage that was passed to the police who in turn have alerted the International Cricket Council (ICC), the game's ruling body. The arrest took the shine off England's performance as they won the series 3-1 on Sunday 29 August 2010. On Thursday 02 September 2010, ICC suspended three cricketers on violation of its anti-corruption code. The cricketers are set to face angry mobs on their eventual return to Pakistan.

In May 2010, the ICC's anti-corruption unit looked at the team's poor performance after being heavily beaten by Australia during a tour of the country. The Pakistani cricket board banned former captain Younus Khan and tour captain Mohammad Yousuf for an indefinite period. Former captain Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved ul Hasan were banned for one year and fined heavily.

All local and global sports events have been dogged by match fixing allegations, scandals and scams for a number of years. In April 2010, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that allegations of match-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) are serious and should be handled carefully. The days of cricket has gone. The days of entertainment and fixed matches bring lot of money to organisers... so IPL cricket is more than match fixing.

Earlier, top snooker player John Higgins was caught red handed fixing match. The cheat exposed by News of the World and later on suspended by Barry Hearn. Higgins was fined £75,000 and banned from the game until 31 Oct 2010.

Attempts to fix football matches at the June 2010 football World Cup in South Africa are uneffective because the international football body FIFA fails to address it properly, the author of the book that revealed the existence of global match-fixing networks. Declan Hill, whose book on match fixing exposed the involvement of Indian, Chinese and Japanese gambling gangs in European football leagues, spoke at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Geneva. During his presentation at the GIJC conference, Hill named Ghana, Portugal, Honduras and also western teams including the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany as teams whose players could be sensitive to offers by match-fixers. Hill outlined a number of measures that FIFA could adopt to address the problem. Among them, he says FIFA should directly pay the players, instead of playing the national football unions. This measure would especially be effective in countries where national football unions are suspected of corruption. How much more did Hansie Cronje and Bob Woolmer know? Both died in mysterious circumstances. Henry Williams tells how Cronje told him to 'underperform' in January 2000. Ali Bacher and the cricket board of South Africa close ranks and denied the corruption. Scandals are 'hushed up'. Cronje and Woolmer can no longer tell anyone anything.

There are a few calls from Indian to ban Pakistan cricket. Does that mean South Africa should also be banned becuase Hansie Cronje gibbs were also found in match fixing? Does that mean India should also be banned becuase IPL and Mohammed Azheruddin were allegedly involved in match fixing? How about banning the American and British politicians and war criminals for their pack of lies, collateral murders, and their endless corruptions? Clearly there is a need to investigate to route out corruption, prosecute, convict and punish all corrupt individuals, whatever their profession and nationality.

  • My cousin is a Sports Agent affiliated to an international firm representing loads of big names. He’s spent the last 3yrs lobbying US congress & UK parliament to legally protect sports stars who accept bribes to throw matches/races.

    He says it’s a fundamental ‘economic human right’ in a free market to accept ‘performance payments’ without penalty from the relevant sporting body. When I ask him about the fans he just laughs & calls them “stupid cattle to be milked, fucked & slaughtered”.
