MATCH FIXING

Introduction

Match fixing is irregularly influencing the course or result of a sports event in order to obtain advantage for oneself or for others and to remove all or part of the uncertainty normally associated with sport.

In cricket it occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result, violating the rules of the game.

History

Cricket has had a number of controversies relating to players being involved with the betting aspects of the game. In particular, numerous players have been approached by bookmakers and bribed to, throw matches, aspects of matches (e.g. the toss) or provide other information.

Following is the brief history of certain events that tainted the game :

2000: South African cricketer Hansie Cronje convicted for accepting money to throw matches. It also involved Ajay Jadeja and Mohammed Azharuddin. All three players were banned for life.

Case Study: Spot fixing involving Pakistani players

August 2010—Pakistan international cricketers Salman Butt, Mohammed Asif and Mohammed Amir, and agent Mazhar Majeed, accused of offences in relation to spot fixing during the int’l test match between England and Pakistan.

No balls were bowled at specific points during England’s innings by Mohd aasif and Mohd Aamir.

The evidence was brought to light through an undercover sting operation by a reporter from ‘News of the World’, who offered Mr Majeed a large cash payment for information on when the no balls were to be bowled.

Criminal charges for conspiracy were brought against the four defendants under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906, Criminal Law Act 1977 and Gambling Act 2005.
