According to Pungi spot fixing occured in 47th match KKR vs R.R in which Ankit Chavan bowled a wide ball off first ball.

Here is the video in which he bowled a wide off 1st ball

yes, acc. to me spot fixing happened in this match...and the news i had was wrt the 4th over...and slow batting of Owais Shah..I hav no doubts that spot fixing happens in IPL, but if u r going to tell me that wide ball was a fixed event then that's childish. U can't make money by bowling just a wide ball through betting marketplace unless the wide ball is the last ball of the final over of a session.

A bunch of non sense. How do you rationalize above two bold statements?

To determine winner in all games in advance , 22 players have to be involved. If Sreesanth didn't need money then why every single player out of 22 will need money? I am sure that quite a few players among those 22 have more money than Sreesanth.

If you want to type non sense then at least don't contradict yourself in same post.

He's Indian the money he can earn from a BCCI contract alone should deter him from spot fixing, and he just doesn't really seem like the kind of guy who would fix.

And yet you claim that result is known in advance in IPL when you have many players( Indians/non-Indians) earning more than Sreesanth.
 
So here's the deal

1. Only names mentioned in the ndtv report to be discussed
2. NO OTHER names to be mentioned as involved apart from that being reported by the media (with sources)

Do not make any allegations about IPL - all such posts will be deleted.
 
@Kiwi - WHere did I defend anyone or anything?

Did you read my earlier post completely?

All I am asking is, don't let your personal bias occlude your views when expressing about such controversies/scandals (which is still in its early days in terms of revelation) in a public forum like this.

I was only pointing out inconsistency in your one post.

In this quoted post, you are painting 100's of Indian/Non-Indian players with same brush without having any proof. Owner making a deal in advance is only possible if all players are fixers. If you happen to believe that every single player is fixer then I am not sure what you are doing in a cricket forum? Same players play international cricket as well.

Games can be fixed without players knowing just by stocking up on players and gaining an advantage over other teams is pretty much fixing if you ask me.

Jail time is for court to decide but BCCI should ensure that they never play even in domestic games if they are involved. Boards should keep fixers away from game.

Then lets discuss them when we have something on our hand why to say whole thing is dark until there is no proof. Enough masala to discuss already go for it.
 
Not surprising. Domestic cricket gives an easy oppurtunity to fixing rackets. I hope they are punished severely. Given the legitimate riches that are on offer this is even harder to swallow. It could also do some damage to the IPLs reputation which I hope doesn't happen however if I was a foreign board I'd think twice about allowing players to go to the IPL now. Indian media is just as bad as Pakistans so every single anomaly will be scrutinised deeply. I'd not want my players subject to any speculation.

The news about connection with Dawood was leaked earlier and yes involvement of bookies from Pakistan is a possibility according to media. They have also mentioned more than 40 players local and foreign are under the scanner.

Maybe he is reporting fixers and going to the ICC main office. Perhaps he will board a flight to the UK and claim asylum :zoni

With all due respect to Mr. Gavaskar - he is paid by the BCCI to project a positive image (from what I recall)

It would be better for people NOT to make statements and let facts come out

BTW, in all this there should be praise for Indian law enforcement to pursue this - with national pride on the line, I can imagine a few countries where this could easily be suppressed with a phone call or a few free tickets to watch a bollywood blockbuster

Thats very true MIG. There is an alternative theory as to why they may have wanted to pursue it but I wont post it.
 
Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain, on CNN-IBN: "I am pretty disappointed. And angry also. They’ll have to prove it. I don’t know what the exact situation is. But if found guilty, they should be banned for life… I feel sorry for Dravid… It’s up to the players to prevent this."

In a way our law enforcement is still asked to work with one hand tied behind their back by some of the politically powerful people who are also connected to nefarious activities involving cricket fixing. Remember 2000 match fixing saga, even then it was Delhi Police which came up with the revelation of Match fixing and caught senior cricketers through tapping of their phones.

If given free hand, I have full confident in our police force to catch many if not all these alleged fixers in a month's time.

Yep, they were the same ones who busted Cronje, Azharuddin, Malik and the rest of them in 2000 as well, the Delhi Police folks.

Good on them.

Should the IPL be suspended temporarily. Hypothetically if more than these 3 were involved then other upcoming games will already be fixed. The bookies will have already staked BIG money and the players will be forced to comply. You can't upset the Bookie mafia.

Will a suspension of future matches be a good way to guaruntee the safety of players?
 
Is this true??

According to NDTV, 1.2 crores cash found in Tait/Owais Shah's room.

Owais shah was already criticised for slow batting in one match.

this. Even I'm fearing this would happen! Hopefully no guilty person would go unpunished. And lets hope all the 'truth' gets uncovered
 
If the allegations are true, this is a huge disgrace for sree. I have never liked him as a person, but he would have to be increbibly greedy ( how much is his contract worth?) or stupid to the point where he is litterally insane. It's no secret that he has enemies, but this would take some elaborate frame work - if his dad is to be believed. I'm no Harby fan either, but to say he and dohni set him up, seems very hard to believe as they would have nothing to gain and everything to lose...

I guess we will have some juicy cricket news coming out over the next few days...

Why would Harbhajan keep Sreesanth out of the team when he himself has no place!

P.S. Not that I support Dirtbhajan... Infact, I like Sree, how much ever crap he is, he looked like he gave 100% to the team!
 
I did say in one of my earlier posts that 4th suspect is expected to be a overseas player of RR (according to Twitter updates).

Hopefully, Police press meet reveals all the evidences (BBM messages and Phone calls in particular) they have gathered so far on this scandal.

Shah, as others pointed out played very slowly in one of the games(not able to recall whether RR won or lost that game), similarly Tait was at his usual Worst in almost all the games that he had played for RRthis season. Going for well above 8 RPO economy with loads of extras and not many wickets (not sure whether he has taken any wicket at all this season).

Meanwhile, RR teammate Stuart Binny tweeted about Rahul Dravid's mood following the scandal.
He wrote: "We all r vry
shocked- Rahul bhai was a lil shaken up bt he is fine now." He also wrote, "Gettin a lot of tweets to find out how's Rahul bhai doin.He is fine and has asked all the #rr supporters to stand by us .
Love u all #ipl"
 
Disgraceful stuff to say the least. The worse part is that they share the dressing room with the likes of Dravid
 
Apart from the three Rajasthan Royals
cricketers the following
people have been arrested
according to India TV reports: Chandresh Patel, Manak Upendra Bhatt, Amit
Ramgovind Singh, SS Nambiar and Jiju Janardan. Janardan is the cousin of Sreesanth and was an U-22 player for Gujarat.
 
Now this

Sreesanth, Chavan and Chandila being questioned in spot-fixing investigation

Tip of the iceberg?
 
N Srinivasan, the BCCI president, will address a press conference at 2pm India Standard Time.
 
Two bookies and a hawala transaction

spot.jpg
Sreesanth and the two other Rajasthan Royal players who have been arrested for spot fixing were in touch with two bookies to strike an alleged deal, Delhi police sources informed rediff.com. Sources say that the two bookies who go by the names Jupiter and Shubham had contacted the players individually and offered them a certain sum of money for spot fixing. The amount has not been disclosed as yet by the Delhi police, but they do confirm that the money was being paid to bowl wides and no balls. There is no indication that money had been paid to throw away an entire match.

The Delhi police say that the bookies who were in touch with the players have been under the scanner for quite sometime, but the players came under the radar only 20 days back. The matches that are under the cloud are the games between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, played at Mohali and also the previous encounter between the Rajasthan Royals and the Mumbai Indians.

The Delhi police however say that there is no indication as yet about the game that the Rajasthan Royals played yesterday. The police are also probing the mode of payment that was allegedly made to the players. The money was transferred clearly through a hawala deal as has been seen in the previous cases. Such transactions normally take the hawala route as many still feel that it is the safest channel. The details about the amount that was transferred would come out during the further course of investigation, police sources also informed.
