Historically it is known that the English cricketers can be sore losers.The Bodyline tactic adopted by the English Captain Douglas Jardine during the ashes when Sir.Donald Bradmans Australians team had been about to rip them apart is no secret as to why or what made them do that.This link will be able to refresh memories of the bodyline series for those already familiar and enlighten those whose knowledge about it is insufficent.
" Douglas Jardine And The Bodyline Series
Find out what happened in the Bodyline series, the most controversial Ashes cricket tour of all, in which Douglas Jardine was dubbed a villain.
When the England cricket team set off for the Ashes tour to Australia 1932-33, nobody really gave them a chance. In recent years they had come across who most people agree to be the greatest batsman ever to have walked the Earth – Donald Bradman. In 1930 Bradman had almost single-handedly taken England’s bowlers apart."
But those doubters had not taken into account the ruthless planning of Douglas Jardine, the England captain, and his use of what became known as the ‘bodyline' tactic.

The allegation prove nothing.The law says innocent till proven guilty!Ironically,we have become habitual of putting the cart before the horse.At the drop of a pin we begin to condemning our own regardless of the fact whether it is true or not.In this case ,if we follow the whole series of evidence starting from that undated video.There is nothing which can prove that the boys are guilty of spot fixing allegations.Besides,the past record of Mazhar Majeed the so-called bookies who in fact is a reporter of the newspaper which gave the breaking news,clearly reveals and gives insight to the character he holds in Britain.

Colonial slave mindset and subservience to the Gora Sahib does'nt appear to have worn out as yet,it seems.Whatever the Gora Sahib says has to be the Gospel truth.What the top leader of the Gora Sahib said about Pakistan exporting terrorism, while he was in India recently the truth ? or the Pakistani students who were arrested by the great Scotland Yard guilty ? Was Imran Khan proven guilty of ball tampeing charges,laid upon him by the English all rounder star,Ian Botham ?.Was Inzy team found guilty of the charges due to which the match got foreited.The reply to all these incidents and issues is simple NO !they were all never found guilty.Check out these links.
'Insufficient evidence' against Majeed, fears UK anti-corruption Chief
http://www.cricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/content/current/story/475246.html
This is absolute,CRAP ! If they feel there is insufficient evidence against the "FIXER" to prove that betting ever took place.Then on what grounds are they still asking the cricketing authorites to take strict action against the Pakistani players...On what Charges and what evidence ?.They must tender an apology to the whole Pakistan Cricket Team and the Pakistani Nation!!
unfortunately,habitually our reaction even then from the very start was similar to this particular issue.Believing the mere allegation on the grounds that since they have a poor back ground or not very literate they must have done it.....Where has it been proved that educated and rich individual never cheat,commit fraud and are not corrupt ? This not the correct yardstick of measuring and judging anyones innocence or guilt.Our country, President is an accused in such cases.He is educated with an apparently rich background !
What we must ponder in such related issue is that why is it so that always while playing in England and against them that Pakistan is always a victim of such allegations and scandals ?.Paki bashing is a favorite past time of theirs could be one reason,beside many others.Like in this issue this could possibly be to unnerve, demoralize and get rid of their star performers, prior to the forthcoming 5 ODI's and T20.Also dont forget the upcoming world cup is a short time ahead.If these players were to be banned it could harm Pakistan's prospects.It will not be an easy job to form a fresh team.Last but not least recall the consequences Pakistan had to face and pay due to the attack by the so-called terrorists on the Sri Lankan Cricket Team in Lahore.The honor of hosting the forthcoming World Cup matches was snatched away and Pakistan,got declared a dangerous nation for playing any further international matches.Who benifitted from it the most.It is anyones guess.Yes! India of course.
Hidden facts behind fake evidences of ‘News Of The World’!

BTW,about India centerd conspiracy,even this smells fishy in this case.ICC top heiarchy: President.Mr.Sharad Pawar,Indian Cabinit Minister...The ICC CEO,Mr.Haroon Lorgat,Indian....head of the council’s anti-corruption and security unit Ravi Sawani,Indian.Confirm it in the below submitted news link.... Not surprizing then the Fixer/Bookie', sister member of an underground Indian based bookies ???? Team players in trouble Pakistanis..Leave it upto you to get the drift.
Appropriate punishment if charges proved: ICC
http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/front-page/06-appropriate-punishment-if-charges-proved-icc-180-rs-04
In the same link cited above ICC president was put up with questions about the Indian party.Here is the excerpt of his vague response: INDIAN PARTY’: The ICC chief had to face a barrage of questions about a suspected “Indian party”.
Sharad Pawar said he was unaware that the middleman, Mazhar Majeed, had told the tabloid that he worked for an “Indian party”.
“I don’t know,”...... the former Indian cricket chief said. “The BCCI (Indian cricket board) will have to take a view on that.
“The BCCI is one of our members and I am sure if any serious matter is there, the BCCI will take cognizance of this. “I can’t come to a conclusion based on a video.” http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/front-page/06-appropriate-punishment-if-charges-proved-icc-180-rs-04Personally,
I am very happy that for the first time our Cricket Board and our High commisioner for UK, has not taken any hasty decision and have very rightly choosen to protect their players dignty to suffer from mere unproven allegations brought upon them by the British media and to continue with the rest of the tour as it was planned initially.The link below quotes the Pakistan HC for Uk as saying as follows;
"LONDON: Pakistan High Commission in London said Tuesday Scotland Yard Police merely carried out investigation with Pakistani players alleged of cricket betting scam but however, they have so far leveled no charges upon them, Geo News reported.
In a statement issued from Pakistan HC in UK, shelving the impression that cricket team has been asked to abandon ongoing visit, said: “Neither any action is in progress against alleged players nor have they been asked to come back home.”
http://www.geo.tv/9-1-2010/70767.htm
There is no truthfulness in news pertaining to leaving out any player from squad neither the tour is going to be called off, the statement went on saying so.
All of them are innocent ! Inshallah they will further redeem their lost honor owing to this fabricated frame up,by defeating the English cricket team with unforgettable wide margins in the 5 ODI's and 2 T20 matches series!
