Mohammad Amir-Mohammad Asif-http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed: The tale of the sneaky monkeys
When scientists sometimes link the human gene to that of monkeys, a certain few belonging to the human kind embark on a special quest to prove the evolutionists right by showing in more ways than one how they are linked to primates. The eagerness to act like monkeys, might take root in the more complex structure of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128, and his posse of yes men. The blame not only lies with the administration of the PCB but also with the team management.
With a 75-year-old in-charge of what we would call a relatively young side, it is incredibly unfair for anyone to expect the old man to stay up late and keep an eye on the sneaky young men and their frivolous frolicking. Whether it is their late night visit to bars, or night clubs, the old man has had his share of entertainment in his yesteryears and would not want to be a spoilsport for the sneaky monkeys who manage to evade his watchful eye at odd hours of the night. During such playtime, if they contract genital sexually contracted diseases, or fall prey to a bad looking bookie, or get drunk, it is not the responsibility of Ijaz Butt. His mind control helmet does have its limitations.
It is then the responsibility of the captain of the team to inculcate discipline amongst his team mates and lead by example. What were a cricket board to do, if it turns out that even the captain of the team has decided to become a sneaky little monkey and becomes the ringleader of his clan. What then? Well, if ever a team was to find the captain acting like a monkey then it is likely that you would find the team alleged in spot fixing.
What is spot fixing? Spot fixing is the act of mutually deciding to ruin the remaining years of your cricketing career by playing a dummy to the bookies whims and wishes. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 on the other hand has earned himself a bad name with the bettors, who are awfully afraid of his ball eating habits and fear their own annihilation if they were to mess with him. According to reports, Shahid Afridi was not too patronising with the bookies and had advised the team manager to keep a particular Mazhar Majeed away from the Pakistan team but his advice fell on deaf ears.
With what seemed like a promising Test career for Salman Butt, his world seems to have crumbled in the blink of an eye, following his short sweet affair with Mazhar Majeed who was caught by the News of the World as predicting the outcome of a few over’s at Lords the next day. He alleged that he had been dealing with Pakistani players for a long time and they had come to trust him in such dealings.
Amidst controversy over spot fixing, the latest allegation and rumour comes in the form of the report that the first Test at Trent Bridge was also fixed. It sometimes eludes the Pakistan cricket fans how the young blood of Pakistan cricket has found this fetish for collecting banana fortunes through gambling and spot-fixing.
These sneaky monkeys must be punished, once the findings of the reports implicate them. If they are involved, steps must be taken to ensure that these players do not see the face of cricket again, for they were involved in tarnishing the image of a country that has contributed immensely to the game. They have not only given a bad name to their country but to all those who have represented the sport for their nation over the years, and dedicated the best years of their lives to this sport.
