Asif, Butt and Amir — they got what they deserved (IV)

Letter November 04, 2011
I do get the distinct feeling that they are being made scapegoats.

LAHORE: Yes, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir did something that was wrong and they must now pay for their actions. However, I do get the distinct feeling that they are being made scapegoats. After all, why isn’t there any investigation of the Indian Premier League after allegations of matches being fixed? What about Shane Warne tweeting the outcome of a match between England and India which he said would end in a tie, and it did!

How could that have been a coincidence?
