Match fixing won't be tolerated at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Neil-Gillespie-c66461 – Cricket News Update
Newly appointed coach of Yorkshire’s first-team, Jason Gillespie, asserted that he will implement a zero tolerance policy against match fixing during his tenure.
Gillespie, who was an indispensable unit of the Australian team during his cricketing days, hasn’t seen any malpractice being carried out in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s domestic cricket structure and feels that match fixing can be eradicated from
the game simply by educating players about the repercussions of being involved in such acts.
Saddened by the fact that hoaxing in the game is at an all time high, Gillespie said, “It's a huge issue at the moment and it really saddens me that things have gone on. I've never seen anything in county cricket to suggest anything
is going on and it certainly won't be tolerated at Yorkshire.”
The right-arm medium pacer continued, “It's all about education. We've seen what happens when guys make bad decisions or get sucked in to that sort of behaviour and you'd like to think that is a big enough deterrent. But part of
a coach's responsibilities is to educate people in all aspects of the game, and aspects of life. If you do that, you'd like to think your guys will make good decisions consistently.”
Gillespie represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in 71 Test matches and has taken 259 scalps at an average of 26.13. The destructive pacer exhibited a career free from controversies and never entangled himself in such actions. One of his primarily
duties at Yorkshire is to make sure his players do the same.
Gillespie, who played for Yorkshire as an overseas player from 2006 till 2007, has vast experience as a bowling coach but this will be his first assignment as head coach. The right-arm pacer will take charge of Yorkshire in January
2012.
Fixing in cricket was a long forgotten term but it came to the forefront after three players from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418, Muhammad Asif, and Muhammad Amir were convicted of spot fixing during the tour of England. International
Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) took bold steps and banned the trio from playing the game. Butt received punishment of 10 years while Asif and Amir were banned for 7 and 5 years respectively.
