Assuming that the cricketers are guilty; can you really blame them for indulging in match-fixing?
KARACHI: This is in reference to the recent spot-fixing scandal. Assuming that the cricketers are guilty; can you really blame them for indulging in match-fixing? After all, they (like all Pakistanis) have seen that there is no accountability in the country. They have seen politicians looting the country and buying property abroad, and getting away with it. They have seen disqualified parliamentarians being allowed to contest elections despite everyone knowing that they had submitted forged degrees earlier to contest elections. So why should they be punished for taking money for bowling no-balls?
