It is now a shameful time for the cricketing world, and once more the shame comes from the old match fixing demon. Its been reported that there was alleged match fixing in the Pakistan Vs England test match in UK. This time the Pakistan cricket team has found itself under a mountain of controversy, and may be it is true.
The trouble has come up from the Lord’s Test, where the Britons beat the host by a massive 354 runs. But this time there is a new exposure in the terms of match fixing, ’spot fixing’ and this is what the Pakistani players are blamed for.

The Scotland investigators had come to know, that Pakistan was being involved in a match fixing scenario a month ago, between the 29th of July and the 1st of August. Some intelligence data shows that there was a match fixing activity going on within a match at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. One of the London’s newspapers quoted that, an informer has credible information of the match fixing with Pakistan.
The players who are cornered in the match fixing scandal are, pacers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who are blamed for spot fixing in the Lord’s Test. The person behind the fixing is Mazhar Majeed, a bookie who had told the pacers to bowl deliberate no balls during the match.
