Hello friends.

In my perspective, in this world, everything is being treated like a business. Everyone wants to earn a lot of money. Here Education treated like a business, cricket treated like a business and who one is being match-fixing is cheating their self and their nation. All these decreased the talent of cricketers to buy them.

So the conclusion is that we have to finish this problem to increase the talent of our nation and ourself.

Thank you.

Yes cricketers should be blamed for this offensive deed as they play for the dignity of the nation as only few are blessed to represent their country. It is the only game in India which people love and applause the most. Such illegal and shameful acts deteriorate the image of the team and the player. So, in my perception the player must be abashed from the team and must be banished with life ban and enormous charge.

Dear Friends, My thought process goes beyond the boundaries when I even think of Match fixing. We as a nation should treat them as a terrorist and should evacuated those players from society. But Guys have you heard about gibrellic acid, let me just share about its function, it is that chemical which make vegetables grow before there actual time. I feel match fixers are like this chemical, who are responsible to make cricketers more competent to get involve in such activities.

One who stands for representing our country's reputation in world i.e. the cricketers, if they have sold their faith to be the money slave then it should be taken strictly. A man who has a huge no.of fans, reputation and also getting sufficient money for serving country so I don't think why they are starving for money.

As conclusion I think BCCI should have an idea at least about what is going on among player, they should form strict punishment for match fixing and cricketers should play for respect and dignity.

As per my point of view,

Cricket is a great game which is played by the players with dedication for their nation. More over it includes each individual players passion and commitment for the game from their childhood. The Players who are having that much passion and well played players are selected for the national team by their cricket board of council.

So I'm trying to say that the players can't be blamed for involving in spot fixing because their aim is to present victory in each and every game to its nation to prove their patriotism which unites a nation. The players won't play the game for money but for patriotism and passion.

Hence its the dealers who tries to trap some excellent players into the fixing by their cunning mind. They are to be banned, because sometimes players are threatened by their personal issues. At that time they are pushed to the corner of fixing by the dealers.

So the ICC should take appropriate action to prohibit fixing and dealers.

Cricketers are to blame and also not to blame in this situation. Each cricketer must think about the reputation of the country and his family before entering into the world of match fixing. But if they are threatened by the bookies they usually have no choice but to give in. That's what the police and the investigative agencies are there for. They can loge a complain against the bookies but they're too scared to do it because they think too much about what will happen afterwards, not realizing that they will always have the support of the their huge fan following whatever they do - only if it is in the interests of the country, the team and the citizens of the country. I would suggest that the coming generation try to pull out the ills of the society by it's roots to prevent any further humiliation or embarrassment.

Cricketers are not completely the ones who should be blamed. Yes, they do play a role but we should blame those who use them as puppets in order to do such a thing which is against taking the game as sporting one. As there are people who will pay for such match-fixing to the players more than what they will earn by doing a fair play in cricket they as humans will get attracted to such an offer. But if the cricketers are more honest enough they wouldn't support such an act. So I think both the cricketers as well as the main people behind this illegal act is equally responsible and there is no point of blaming only the cricketers.

Why not ? Even though they are getting millions , even though they have immense fans' support , they are still hungry . I can't understand them . They have struggled for years to gain a place in the team , they stood as the representatives of a historic nation . What more do they need to fell proud of themselves?

In my view , Match - fixing is something like selling our mother to someone as a slave. It's really shame upon their part . Because of such stupid malefactors , the entire team has to face severe criticism & bear many doubtful questions which pain the innocents.

Those who do Match Fixing should be treated as terrorists . On seeing the way , they are being humiliated , no other player should at-least think of Match Fixing.The BCCI should carefully watch the players and remove if there are any weeds in the team .

HELLO FRIENDS,

I totally agree with this topic, from my point of view match fixing should be totally banned. This is the most worst thing players do just for the few money and they are losing their respects. ICC should make special squad for such type of activities show they can be easily be traced.

Thank you.

It is not only cricketers who are involved in match-fixing but also team owners. In IPL, major match-fixing cases are imposed on political parties, actors and businessmen owning a team. Sometimes, an even coach is involved in match fixing.
