And I will try to fix you...



Not anymore, buddy. Not anymore.
Gone are the days when you can offer your opponent a free chocolate to under perform during the local gully cricket championships. Gone are the days when bowling frequent no balls meant that the captain made a bad decision by choosing the bowler. Gone are the days when only politicians are sent to jail for corruption.

The 3 Fix-eteers.
The Pakistan trio failed miserably in their spot fixing attempt, which booked the a place in Wandsworth Prison. They should have been sent to Azkaban instead. What did they gain by doing that? Their scandal just spoiled Pakistan's reputation even further. The scandal just dumped a truck load of crap on Pakistan's cricket.
Even India has had it's share of match fixing. Former Indian captain Azharuddin, Jadeja were charged with match fixing. One of cricket's greatest match fixing scandal, which involved Hansie Cronje, Herschelle Gibbs and later involved Azharuddin took place on Indian soil. But they weren't jailed, only banned from the sport.
I think it is the leniency that was shown in the early years the reason why match fixing is still prominent in cricket.
For some reason, most of cricket's scandals are done by the best of talents. Mohammed Amir, had the potential to be Pakistan's next Wasim Akram. Akram himself, have stated that "He is much cleverer than [Akram] at 18". Mohammed Azharuddin was one of India's finest captain and batsman, in Oct 2010, Sri Lankan legend Muralitharan called him one of the best players in cricket on par with Sachin Tendulkar. Azhar was forced into an early retirement for his involvement in match fixing. There are many other cricketers with exceptional skills, unfortunately they lack the sense to choose the right path from the wrong.
Cricket will go on.
