Match Fixing in the Ram Slam Tournament

[Marius]

Can't say that kind of behavior really bothers me to be honest. Don't see it as different to boozing, which cricket historically loves to romanticise players for.

Agreed.

And it's hardly like weed is a performance enhancer.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, most certainly not.

 

[Oduodu]

It actually is if its not smoked. In the olden days they would give weed seeds to horses to make them physically better performing.

 

[Oduodu]

But I get what you mean.

LOL

If Waleed were to be involved I would be gutted,as I've always been a fan,never really been given a consistent run in the National team of late to prove himsel.That being said,some of his bowling in that tournament did leave a lot to be desired,particularly facing KP when they played the Dolphins.

Parnell and his reps are denying this so lets see.

South Africa news January 24, 2016 Gulam Bodi submits plea in Ram Slam fixing caseFIRDOSE MOONDA Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 9 shares

Gulam Bodi has submitted his plea to CSA after being charged with contriving to fix, or otherwise improperly influence aspects of the 2015 Ram Slam T20 tournament.

"We are waiting to see if they accept it, if not it will go to a tribunal," Ayoob Kaka, Bodi's lawyer told ESPNcricinfo.

In essence, that means Bodi has admitted to at least some of the allegations, because a not guilty plea would not require any acceptance. Irrespective of whether CSA accepts the plea, and move to sanction Bodi, or do not accept the plea, and begin a hearing, they will have to take any evidence of criminality they may uncover to the South African police services, who could launch their own investigation.

The Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004 makes match-fixing and spot-fixing in sport a crime in South Africa.

In a release issued by CSA ten days ago, the South African board said Bodi was cooperating with anti-corruption officials even though when he was initially suspended in mid-December, he also faced a charge of refusing to co-operate with the investigation. CSA has since also said they are waiting on Bodi to provide them with information on other suspects, who are also under investigation.

A legal case is being prepared against several other players and an insider revealed that some of them "accepted money to fix", while others failed to report corrupt activity.

Why has robert frylink been fired by the dolphins ??

 

[Shady Slim]

so if it weren't for this **** would KP be playing for the saffers right now do we think?

No! KP`s issues where his own.

No, I don't think so.

When KP left he was nothing special.

 

[Daemon]

If KP wasn't a **** he'd still be playing Tests

 

[Stefan9]

Why has robert frylink been fired by the dolphins ??

Thought he was only suspended? Dolphins have said its unrelated to this.

If KP wasn't a **** he'd still be playing Tests

If cook and co knew how to manage super stars he would still be playing as well.

Meh superstars should get in line and learn how to behave. Being good doesn't earn you the right to be a **** towards your team mates.

So you only want good school boy lads? Life would be very dull with only those types. Great managers & captains can manage those types of personalities. If england had kp batting for them now instead of taylor they would be a much better team.

Would the aus team of the 1990/2000's have been anywhere as good if they cut warne because of his ridiculous behavior at times? They managed him instead.

Agree one hundred percent.

Imagine we didn't have Gibbs because he was a bit of a naughty boy every now and then.

I prefer having characters in the game rather than a bunch of bland jocks.

 

[Oduodu]

Oh sorry.
