How can anyone be so dumb especially after so much has happened in the last 2 months. At least he could have waited for a few months (I am not suggesting that he should have...only that it is really stupid. But I guess you can expect such folly from our cricketers)

Yeah perhaps...but he is not a genuine all rounder though...

what else to say but to agree with Intekhab alam that Pakistani players are mentally ********.. if it is proven that the match was fixed.. it is a clear case of mentall retardedness here..
Yes but if you watch that match and that over.. the whole thing looks fishy.. I remember watching it.. and I was like is this what Afridi wants in his team.. he bowled like three full toss deliveries which were hit to the boundry back to back..
he also faced 5 balls for 2 runs.

For any Australian viewers, ABC's 4 Corners is doing an episode on match fixing:
Next on Four Corners, "In a Fix". An investigation into the allegations of corruption and match fixing that threaten to undermine the multi-billion dollar sport of international cricket.
Ten years ago the cricket world was rocked when players admitted they had conspired to "throw" matches for cash. Authorities promised to root out the corruption and keep the game honest. Now reporter Marian Wilkinson looks at the latest allegations involving Pakistan's national team. Were officials aware that some key players had been in contact with people associated with sports betting before the team left for England? Is the International Cricket Council really serious about investigating questionable activities and what really happened in Sydney when Pakistan lost the unlosable test to Australia?
"Whenever you see someone sitting down in a hotel room, counting their cash in front of a camera, you're very shocked to see that and you get to thinking, is it possible for these things to happen in a game of cricket?" Australian cricket captain, Ricky Ponting
It was one small over-step when Pakistan cricketer Mohammed Amir bowled a no-ball in a Test match against England in August. But the no ball - coupled with grainy footage shot by a British newspaper showing two men negotiating to "fix" cricket matches - forced cricket lovers around the world to ask an unthinkable question: is the game they love and pay money to see really "fair dinkum"?
Next on Four Corners reporter Marian Wilkinson tries to answer that question as she follows the trail of controversy left by Pakistan's players as they travel the globe.
What she finds is a team torn by internal politics, unable to play other teams at home because of terror threats and shunned in other parts of the world by fellow cricketing nations. As a result, Pakistan players have become the game's poor cousins ripe, for exploitation by match fixers.
"We all knew Pakistan cricket was vulnerable, it was just a question of when we'd find out." Cricket expert
Travelling to Pakistan, Four Corners talks to cricket insiders with an intimate knowledge of events leading up to the controversial tour to England. In particular, the report focuses on warnings given to Pakistan officials before the tour about the behaviour of certain players and their relationships with other people already under suspicion.
Reporter Marian Wilkinson profiles the key figure at the centre of this latest cricket crisis, Mazher Majeed. Better known as a property developer and sports entrepreneur, it's now clear that Majeed met with The News of the World operative to negotiate match fixing payments several times. The program analyses a number of those meetings and the pattern of behaviour they describe.
Majeed's involvement with Pakistan players doesn't end with the matches in England. It's now clear cricket authorities had him in their sights some time before the Pakistan-England series. What were their concerns and did they convey the information to other cricket officials around the world?
Majeed's secretly taped conversations and other witnesses pose serious questions about the now infamous Sydney Test between Pakistan and Australia. Did some Pakistan players throw the match or was their loss the result of infighting within the team? And what is the current status of the investigation into the match and its aftermath?
"In a Fix" goes to air on Monday 25th October at 8.30 pm on ABC1. It is replayed on the same network on Tuesday 26th October at 11.35 pm. The program is also replayed on ABC24 on Saturday in the same week at 2.00pm. Four Corners is also available online on ABC iView and 4 Corners Video on Demand .
