I accept that the world in unfair to a Muslim and there are misplaced prejudices in the world right now. But see your statement in bold which reinforces what I said. Are Muslims the only innocents losing their lives? Are their lives the only ones worth protesting for? Why are moralities...

Let me repeat - bookies follow the money. And right now it is in India. That is the ONLY reference here. How are you implicating Indian cricket, the BCCI or Indian cricketers in this? To clarify one more of your misconceptions, BCCI does not care about the PCB. It is more busy locking horns...

I guess I spoke too soon. It didn't require PCB for Amir to allegedly "lose his way".

How did that come to be? Regardless of your position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, how do the other Arab countries get involved in it? How many people from Palestine are in the Al Qaeda? Why does it become a Muslim's problem? Why was America attacked by people who had nothing to do with...

How did you arrive at this conclusion? Is the blamelessness of Pakistan and its institutions so deeply engraved in all your brains?

Nice way of fighting generalizations - by generalizing yourself! Muslims need to stop associating themselves with issues that don't pertain to their region or country. Not all Muslims are profiled the same way. The world-is-out-to-get-"us" mentality needs to improve. Btw, the cartoon with a Jew...

The IPL is in a mess of itself even without including Pakistani players. So this is inconsequential. I don't want to state my opinion on their participation, but they shouldn't humiliated like the last time. Don't include their names if no franchise wants to bid for them.

Nothing about the quality of education or stylish English. If you want to command the respect of your team, the captain needs to lead by example. Imran Khan was Pakistan't best cricketer during his time and was respected for that reason. Kapil Dev was not articulate or conventionally smart...

That is a rather harsh assessment. Educational level is not a determinant of moral values. The kind of money involved here is so high that anyone can be tempted. On the contrary, the only thing the underprivileged have is their honor. It is likely that they value it more than the educated...

That is not a logical conclusion. With passion comes the money and greed. Cricketers are the most overpaid sports-persons in the subcontinent. Let's remove the central contract and slash match fees by 90%. Ban them from appearing in advertisements. Now let's see how passionate people are for the...

Maybe, maybe not. How does one validate that? These suspicious men could have been on a reconnaissance to plan out the actual attack. If they had detained them for questioning, human rights activists would have cried hoarse. The sensible thing was for him to move away from the scene quickly and...

Bookies exist where there is excessive money changing hands, and right now India has more cricket money than almost all other nations combined. This latest report implicates the PCB and Indian bookmakers, not the BCCI. The IPL mess is enough the shame the BCCI. This incident stoops below that.

If you were to start laying the prerequisites for this, most people will shy away from this referendum. Let's start with the rehabilitation of Pandits in the valley before this so called referendum. We also need to consider the part of Kashmir that is under Pakistani and Chinese occupation. Is...

You both do realize that the threads were merged AFTER Benny posted his first comments, right?

I think he was largely silent due to the language problem. Coupled with Saeed's hearing problem, it made for quite a confusing press conference.

Too much cricket : Greed. Match fixing : Shameless greed. The two are not the same. As I said before, betting is legal in many countries. There are companies (with full time research, HR and IT staff) like Ladbrokes and Betting365.

Sorry folks, my mistake!

Betting is legal in many countries. It happens in the EPL openly all the time, and companies like Ladbrokes and Betting365 exist just for that. However, Match-Fixing is (thankfully) illegal everywhere.

Why is Mohammed Amir missing?

It is a racket, if you will. Most new viruses are created by the smaller antivirus companies to make sure their "demand" doesn't go down. And a large part of viral mischief comes from Russia and eastern Europe.
