Are Cricketers to be blamed for Match Fixing?

I think cricketers are not responsible for match fixing because bookies pressurizes them to do these kind of irrelevant thing and when cricketers not accept their offer then they blackmail to them about their personal life.

My point of view money does not matter behind this scene because cricketers are earning much better and they are enjoying their life in very richest way.

Hi, this is Prahlad.

According to my opinion, the BCCI is responsible for match fixing games. Imagine a bookie is allowed to meet players either in dress room or hotels where they are staying. Without knowledge of officials of BCCI how can a bookie can enter into. Please think in that way also.

Ya of course in my opinion match fixing is a big crime and those who do this are the criminals. What I mean to say is that match fixing should be banned and those who do it should be kept in jail for at-least 10 years. And also the cricketers involved in this should not be allowed to to play cricket life long. They are only the actual criminals doing this. Really money has made people blind.

Hello, I believe cricketers are not to be blamed for match fixing even though they are on the wrong side because despite cricketers having enough security and being continuously covered by media, bookies are able to approach the players and negotiate with them. According to me, the higher officials may be participating in this activity from the back end and maybe players are threatened by them and leaving no option for the players.

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.

Hi, friends.

In my opinion, the match fixing is not good, The cricketers are enjoying their life in that game they did like that means that is very bad, the BCCI will take the action strictly and those players will not to play in future means that good, why because that is one of the respectable game all Indian people's are mostly seen that game.

Hey, guys thanks for providing your good thaughts.

According to my view match fixing should be completely banned as it affects the culture of cricket as well as it degrades the value of cricket. Match-fixing has become a source of income and entertainment for fixers. A good player plays for their nations as well as for their passion but due to match fixing good players fail to show their patriotism. It should be completely banned and people who die this practice should be sent to jail and the players involved in this should be punished so no one can think over it again. Before the selection of new players, they should undergo with some skill test which involves their patience their loyalty and the true sportsmanship.

Every game should be played with fair rules & honestly. Every player shall remember that playing Cricket honestly in his game is his prime responsibility fot nation. He shall play for his counrty as representative, not for money & if any cricketet is only thinking that He would be reach with Match fixing & doing so. He deserve for punishment for sure. Because its upto him whether to cheat with his game or not by doing match fixing, because doing match fixing which is illegal is not a way to make out great money.

I would like oppose on the topic, I would say its the board of cricket of a country who has to be blamed for fixing, take an example of Zimbabwe whose cricketers are not paid sufficient amount of money so that they get attracted towards the dirty minds who are offering them more than 50 times of the income these cricketers earn.

Cricket is the most liked and popular game after football. The players playing in the team selected based on their hard work and their passion for the cricket should remain forever. If Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli plays only for money then they don't have records for Indian Cricket team. The Fixing is only from the dealers who vanishing the player with their weak points as their strength. If the dealers are eradicated then the fixing is not a matter at all.
