Are Cricketers to be blamed for Match Fixing?

According to me,every crime must be banned for ever and match fixing one of them.
The player who involved this type of crime ,actually betray with nation and its the shame for nation to the World .ICC should strict about the matter and the player should
be banned forever and punishment should be there.
For the one people ,sometimes other people of the nation also suffered .

I agree with all of you, after gaining so much wealth and fame, these cricketers shouldn't get involved in match- fixing. Obviously Cricketers are blamed, because if they don't encourage these bookies, there will not be any match fixing. And moreover they are allowing illegal flow of black money. So cricketers have to be seriously punished.

Match fixing should be banned for ever.

Match fixing is an heinous offence performed by the players of any team. Be it match fixing or spot fixing, its after effects on the game are devastating and can lead to complete downfall of the game. People watch the match because of the curiosity of what will happen next, it is this sense of curious excitement that attracts and hold them to the game but if this authenticity is lost then it is obvious that the game will soon lose its pride and people's interest. Therefore players involving in such activities must be life banned as such crimes have an everlasting influence on the game's credibility.

"Cricket is religion, Sachin is god" I have seen it in the video. So according to me,.

Match fixing is against the spirit of the game. Is just an give up before the start of play. Its the thing done for the money. As players struggle a lot to make their place in the team. Person watching the TV expecting a great game but due to such thing faith & belief on the game will be lost. Maturity of the player must be high while he is representing his own country. Player must be banned who is involved in fixing.

Bookies are not the matter. As the bookie approaches the player the player should bang at him. That is the most initial step to be taken by the player if he is truly playing for the (his) country. Players should should not fall into the web of money offered by bookie. If the players devotional towards the game then there will be no raising for bookies, this type of business will not be developed.

Yeah they must be banned. They are there to provide the pride to country and they are representing the country for the sport. While people do like this it affect the sport a lot. For a one person doing like this it affect the entire sport. So should be banned and they also be fined. Because they are doing this only for money.

The player involved in match fixing should must be banned. Because they are playing in the enjoyment of lot of people who trust him or the team.

Sometimes it happens that cricketers are forced to do match fixing and it is not always for the lure of money. So first of all they must be asked about being forced from bookies. And then the related conclusion must be made.

Of course those who fixes match are criminals as they did a crime called fraud against audience. But punishment for this should be limited. As fraud is not a very big crime, so player should not be banned for his entire life. Sports is for entertainment and if a person does not follow the rules, he is actually cutting himself from this industry. He definitely pays for his activity whether or not, he is found guilty.

Management should look into the matter with care and stop possibilities of any such activities as it hampers industry but extent of punishment should be limited.
