Tehrik Taliban Pakistan's hypocrisy - it's not cricket!

published by You on 29 November, 2013 - 23:16

This week the "Pakistani Taliban" (TTP for short) waded into a very serious issue for a second time. An issue more important than life and death for many people - Cricket.

The situation arose when the talented Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar retired and the press was pretty much unanimous that a cricketing great had retired.

Even the Pakistani press lavished him with praise and apparently this was too much for the TTP.

They decided to warn the Pakistani media against such a thing - after all, Sachin Tendulkar didn't play for Pakistan but for India! How dare the "corrupt media" lavish him with praise? this was "against the motherland" and probably treasonous.

Former Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt and bowler Mohammad Asif have been found guilty of conspiring to fix parts of last summer's Lord's Test against England.

Butt, 27, and 28-year-old fast bowler Asif plotted to bowl deliberate no-balls in the match as part of a lucrative betting scam.

The pair sat expressionless in the dock as they were convicted at Southwark Crown Court.

They were caught after an undercover reporter recorded UK-based sports agent Mazhar Majeed, 36, boasting of how he could arrange for Pakistan cricketers to rig games for money.
