| Match Fixing - A curse to the Game |
 The involvement of West Indies cricketer in the Nagpur cricket match fixing has once again left many unanswered questions!
Why is it that the players get tempted and do not feel any qualms in betraying their own nation for some monetary considerations in light of the fact that the present generation of players are being paid quite handsomely by the cricket control Board? Why is it that such things are only happening in India and especially when India is party to such matches in any part of the world ?
The reasons to me are that the stakes offered by the bookies in India are quite high and some crores of rupees gambling is involved in all these which may be a temptation to the players to make some quick money.The other point is that these bookies have got connections all over the world and knowing the cricket mania of the Indian people they can operate easily from here.
However, such incidences have made one loose the charm in the cricket to the extent that one doesn't know whether the player is actually playing his real game or the manipulated one. So even if a team looses on wins the match there is always a question mark in one's mind.
That is what the cricket has become now , more commercial than a sports !Labels: Sports |
