Three Pakistan cricketers and an agent have been jailed over a betting scandal involving bowling deliberate no-balls in a Test match against England at Lord's last summer.
Pakistan's former Test captain Salman Butt received a 30-month sentence and fast bowler Mohammad Asif was given a 12-month term behind bars.
Teenage fast bowler Mohammad Amir was jailed for six months after he admitted bowling two intentional no-balls.
The corrupt UK-based sports agent at the heart of the fixing scandal, Mazhar Majeed, was jailed for two years and eight months at London's Southwark Crown Court.
Judge Jeremy Cooke said: "These offences, regardless of pleas, are so serious that only a sentence of imprisonment will suffice."
Take them down please..... good riddance. Cheating bas..rds.
