Spot-Fixing: Crickets New Way to Cheat

Photo: Davvyk13

A demeanour inside spot-fixing, a brand new process of match-fixing in cricket thats giving curved bookies some-more carry out than ever.

In Apr of 2000, a New Delhi military got hold of recordings of South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje negotiating with a gambling operator to fix a match. Cronje was criminialized from a diversion of cricket for life.

The headlines created uproar among cricket fans. To my grandfather, a seventy-six year aged late part of of a law for whom cricket was religion, Cronje had let down not usually his own country, though a cricket companionship as a whole.

Many fans we knew protested by blazing his effigies, others by not examination cricket. we went upon examination matches, in a goal which a crime would be weeded out.

Cheating makes a comeback

The brand new form of intrigue in cricket is spot-fixing, a system in which bookies compensate cricketers to chuck a singular play; for example, to bowl a no-ball after ten overs. Bookies can also confirm who will get out as well as in what way, as well as who does or doesnt score a century. They have been in complete carry out over a individual plays they compensate for.

Spot-fixing became headlines this August, when News of The World published an inquisitive essay about about Mazhar Majeed, a sports representative who rightly predicted, upon tape, which cricketers Mohammad Asif as well as Mohammad Amir would bowl no-balls during poignant points of an England-Pakistan test match. Majeed also pronounced which Pakistani captain Salman Butt was concerned in spot-fixing a match.

As a headlines broke, everybody had an perspective to offer. Former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja gave interviews to radio channels saying which Pakistani players had shamed a team. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Indias stream captain, echoed him.

England ! manager Andy Flower pronounced which spot-fixing had severely influenced attendance during his teams matches. He told The Guardian which he was carefree which a crowds would return, though he feared which a spot-fixing liaison was severely marring a turnout.

A systemic problem

I think this complaint affects a diversion of cricket as a whole. But rather than treating spot-fixing as a systemic problem, people have been blaming a Pakistani team. Again, cricket fans have proposed blazing effigies, this time of Salman Butt. Some have even embellished donkeys with a names of Pakistani cricketers as well as paraded them through a streets, pelting them with stones as well as decaying tomatoes.

Mazhar Majeed is in military custody, as well as a fates of a cricketers concerned have yet to be decided.

As for Cronje, his tearjerker confession got a lot of publicity, though after a few years, a debate died down. In 2002, Cronje was killed in a plane pile-up under mysterious circumstances; a public shortly after stopped focusing upon match-fixing as well as proposed seeking forward to a matches themselves.

I can usually goal which we can deal with as well as forget about a unpleasant parts of a sport once again.

Meditation leads to mindfulness Studies point out how valuable meditating can be to overall well-being. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN meditating for thousands of years, but it seems only recently that its gaining credibility by the scientific community. The shame is that many wont even give things a second thought unless some researcher or scientist proves its benefits, choosing to ignore the wisdom of experience. An article at Forbes discusses research done that correlates meditation and happiness .

They were then asked whether what they were thinking about ...

Notes on a shrike

Photo: dobak Mary Sojourner cant leave the dead bird there to get flattened. I WALK NORTH in the Mojave. I listen to my friend on the cell phone. She tells me of her recent work with a healing process called EMDR. Im about to cross the two-lane highway. Something lies on the edge of the asphalt. I look. It is a dead bird gray and black and white. I pick it up. There is no mark on it, no blood or broken bone. I cant bear to think of it being flattened. The feathers are exquisitely soft against the palm of my right hand. I am walking to the Joshua Buddha and I know to carry the bird to the dead tree that looks like a gray seated Buddha. My friend begins to tell me the details of the second EMDR sessions. I realize I am not listening because I need to concentrate solely on carrying the bird to the Joshua Tree. I tell her I will call her back. At the tree, I tuck the bird in the broken space between the stump and a dead branch. He for I know somehow it is a he is just below what would b...
