In no way am i saying that you should do spot fixing or in that case match fixing, but putting the 2 pakistanis in prison is a bit too harsh. I mean players that commited bigger crimes like match fixing have been roaming around as if they are the best cricketers and have not even been put in jail for a day. I belive the bigger crime is why do we have betting shops at the first place. why do we see like 100s of betting shops in one street and people going to beting shops to bet on results of a match or etc. I mean if these people have the right to earn money this way then technically the players also have a right to earn money.

Good Lord! If you can't tell the difference between a normal punter betting on a match and a participant of that match doing the same then there really is no hope for you.

I can see where u are taking this Viru but betting in the UK is normally above board but that can't be said about the far east and sub cont. a friend of mine got 2 years for fraud and we are talking millions so if these guys get more then that would be harsh justice. The problem is everyone wants to see the harshest sentence and muppets like Beefy calling for the maximum doesn't help. I hope Amir just gets a suspended sentence after all he admitted before hand and i remember what I was like when I was 17-18 and would be easily influenced by elders.

The prison time will not be for 'cheating' it will be for corruption which is a very serious offense.

Teach them a lesson.
A prison sentance is a must in my eyes, for 2 reasons, firstly they deserve it and secondly it'll hopefully stop future players thinking its the way things should be done!
All 3 players disgust me.

Ban Pakistan cricket for an entire generation in order to clean out the cancer with-in and the dirty low life grubs still involved........10-15 years ban for the entire country.

Nonsense, all that's needed is for the PCB to put life bans on these players to show they mean business.

Pigs arise.......this Pakistan corruption has been going on for years and it's time to kick the grubs out of this great game before they destroy the integrity of the entire sport.
It's harsh for the good guys who abide by the rules but this lot have got no respect for anyone except there own greedy selves.....bye bye Pakistan you cheating thieving grubs.
