I was just thinking over the mess that Pakistan Cricket has got into,, But then, I can only offer solutions... ;)

- Marriage Bureau (great match Fixers)
- Test dummies for Spinal surgeries(looking at the way they batted, they seemed to lack spine)
- Retirement Planning Solutions (Mohd. Yousuf!)
- Spot Boys (They are good at 'spot fixing')
- Reality TV show participants(the way their lives are going, is nothing short of reality TV!)

Anyone gotta add anything more, please feel free!

Cash used in the spot-fixing scandal during last week's Lord's Test is understood to have been found in the belongings of Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt, a report said.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Scotland Yard officers would question Butt on Friday over how marked notes were discovered from his hotel room and in his locker at the Lord's cricket ground.

The money is believed to have been part of 150,000 pounds handed over by an undercover News of the World reporter to the alleged fixer Mazhar Majeed, the newspaper said.

The cash, given to Majeed for fixing three no-balls of the Lord's Test between Pakistan and England, is understood to have been secretly marked so that it could be later identified by police.

According to the report, the recovered money was undergoing forensic tests to confirm police suspicions that it came from the News of the World sting.

"Early indications suggest the money found in possession of Butt originated from the sting. There are good reasons to believe this was the case," the newspaper quoted sources as saying

amir says he is suspected of conspiracy coz of his good performance throughout the tournament, he's not involved in any match-fixing, as per his statements... he should get another chance from ICC...

Nothing wrong if they want to lose. Let poor pakistanis earn some money. If only they can be more discreet in future and instead of bowling footlong no balls, master the art of bowling no balls by fraction of an inch at will or whenever required by the team.

Nothing wrong in match fixing. They know they cannot earn much if they win, but they earn more if they lose. Because Pakistan is not doing anything for their economy and corruption. So when economy worsens they will try for other options through corruption.
