Hafeez as usual proved to be shit. The pace department is looking thin with the absence of Aamer and Asif, nothing much has changed in batting.

If you look at Ghuma’s performance it has been pathetic at best I have seen him play he is highly over rated. Other than Asad Shafiq, Hammad Azam and Aamer Sajjad, Junaid Khan and Yasir Shah nobody else has done anything of note. The 7 footer has only taken two wickets so far in the series his economy rate has been ok but he doesn’t have any wicket taking deliveries and if you look at the performances of the players I mentioned even they are mediocre and inconsistent and not ready for the highest level.

This team selection was totally wrong, there are many other players who are much better than the players selected for the A team, mst of these players are playing with the A team for the first time, I don’t know why we changed the team which did so well against Australia and England, I know some of those players got selected with Pakistan team but still a lot of good players have been left behind.

There is more to it then what meets the eye, the ease with which these videos are made and the fact that no charges have been filed against the main culprit the fixer it makes the whole thing very suspicious, there is no doubt that fixing took place but I doubt that it was Mazhar from whom the money was taken, I think he knew from some other source that Asif and Aamir are going to bowl no balls at some point may be the event was fixed through another party and Mazhar tried to cash on it.

Why charges haven’t been filed against him when he admitted that he made over 800,000 pounds by fixing Sydney test? If the authorities have failed to find any evidence regarding betting activity taking place on no balls for sure they can find plenty of betting activity related to Sydney test.

Pakistan has lost many matches since the Sydney test in dubious manner why Mazhar only referred to just Sydney test and one match in Asia cup?

The ease with which the videos have been made especially the one where he is sitting in front of a table in his drawing room and counting money the clearity of the video and voice quality and the angle of the video suggests the presence of a third person and proper camera.

Another thing which bothers me is that both Aamer and Asif have been the best performers for Pakistan in last few series Pakistan’s main reason for losing the matches was their batting no evidence is there to link any batsman with the fixing activity, Mazhar was so eloquently naming players why didn’t he mentioned the name of the batsmen who were the main cause of our spectecular defeats.

Why the best performers have been named? Even the easiest target Kamran Akmal have been cleared, and Wahab Riaz who recieved the jacket stashed with 10000 pounds even he is not being investigated.

From the videos it is clear that on both occassions Salman Butt said something to both Aamer and Asif before they bowled noballs the money has also been recovered from his room, my guess is that Salman Butt was the main culprit he has to meet the targets given to him by the top management and the players have to obey him or they get sidelined like Zulqernain.

The London police has not pressed charges against anybody, the fixer Majeed was also released on bail pending investigation it is being said that there is no evidence against him to press criminal charges against him the authorities must prove that betting activity took place on the no balls which Aamer and Asif bowled.

One thing which baffles me is that why Wahab Riaz’s name was not included in the four named when he was clearly recieving a jacket stashed with 10000 pounds? London police should clearify this because if the jacket didn’t had any money in it or that video was taken at some other time then the credibility of all these videos become questionable. The fixer is wearing a blue Tshirt while taking money in the car and is wearing a black one when he hands over the jacket to Wahab.

The video claims that he went straight to meet the players after recieving the money then how did he changed his Tshirt.

None of these video’s are dated.

This may make their credibility questionable as they could have been made after the noballs took place.

The only damning evidence is the 50,000 pounds found in Salman Butt’s room, his excuse about the money is just stupid nobody goes on for shopping with such large amounts of cash and that too in so many different currencies.

If the dates of the phone conversations in which Mazhar predicts the timings of the no balls are before the date on which no balls were bowled then nothing more is required to prove that corruption took place. That can be easily checked from the phone records.

Salman Butt walked upto to both Aamer and Asif and said something to them after which both of them bowled those noballs. On both occassions he was quick to bring sawdust to give the impression that the bowling crease was slippery.

It was also mentioned that Majeed helped players to open swiss accounts why the details about those accounts have not come out so far.

If no money has been recovered from Aamer or Asif then the only person who will possibly get incriminated will be Salman Butt.

I think the ICC will have tod od something because it doesnt seem the PCB will take it upon themselves to do so. From what Butt is saying, they will try to find excuses. From the way Amir and Saman Butt were smiling this morning, it seems they have already been told of how they plan to get them off.

We cannot accept this as Pakistan fans.

I have no Idea when U19 is touring England.
