Are Cricketers to be blamed for Match Fixing?

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.

Though match fixing is not a good deed, but its not a crime.

All human beings commit mistakes and so do cricketers. Many of them are pressurized and threatened by bookies. Unfortunately some of the cricketers fall prey to these bookies.

A good investigation team should be appointed to look into the case and if the players are found guilty there should be a life ban on them but they should not be punished because cricket is just a game and fixing is not such a dangerous crime. The life ban is enough and more than even a death sentence for a cricketer.

To conclude I must say to a certain extent cricketers are to be blamed for match fixing but if there is a good system to keep track on them and bookies can be arrested before the fixing takes place, it will be better for that player and moreover for the country.

Thanks.

Hello friends,

Yes cricketers is the only one who is responsible for match fixing, they must be punished or banned. Some malefactors the entire team has to face the criticism. Everyone is excited about match while watching it. But f the match loses its authenticity then cricket match will soon lose its pride and people interest too. So I'll say BCCI should also keep the eyes on the cricketers and should punish them. I this heinous offense is done.

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.

Yes you all might be right cricketers should be blamed for this evil crime. I know and everyone knows this that how much put in it needs to get your faces in TV screen AND people enjoys every glimpse of yours. In fact cricketer are also human beings.

They are not god who cannot commit mistakes. They have learned nothing but the cricket so we can enjoy at our stressed sitting in our AC rooms, watching them playing, jumping like hell and all that. All we need to blame is the system who keep check on spot fixing. They can spot the spot fixing after it happens but can, t stop before the scene. If they can't track the bookies then they should handover there job to someone else. Anyone can be distracted from his job. At Least 1 chance should be provided to them for the sake of so much years of their pain. Yes yet its cricketers who are to be blamed.

Yes, players are responsible for match fixing, they should be banned for forever, they just don't do a crime of taking bribe to make our India down, they break a billion hearts who always loved them, but they gave us a garland of betrayal. If they refuse to do it no one can make them to be a part of such type of criminal act. They shouldn't forget that money can buy everything except prestige and love which they get from us in serving the country.

Hello friends, I would like to be a part of this discussion.

Firstly, I agree with the topic that cricketer's should be blamed for match-fixing. This is because I feel that cricketer's up to their age are much matured. They know that fixing is not only the crime but also it decreases the reputation of the nation as well as the cricketer. So, I think despite of knowing this thing if a cricketer gets involved in the match fixing for money or say any reason. Then he/she should be blamed rightly.

According to me not always these playing 11 are responsible for match fixing. Since nobody is born thief its the condition that make him to do wrong. There cricketing board do not provide enough money for there survival so they have to choose the wrong path of match fixing.

Hello friends,

According to my point of view it is yes. Cricketers are to be blamed for the match fixing because it does not matter who is behind the scene but it is players who commit mistakes on the field deliberately for the sake of money and betrays our trusts and also defames the name of our country on the international level. A player can prevent the match fixing to occur if he is determined to not let it happen by letting it know to higher authority if any other player from the opposite team or any other persons from outside approaches him for doing so which is unacceptable. Cricketers who come under the purview of match fixing must be forced to resign from all forms of the cricket and strict penalty and punishment must be enforced to stop these kinds of activities to happen in future.

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. Match fixing should be banned. People soul raise their voices.
