"i am going to hold atleast a candle if not a torch for the match-fixers..... lets look at the whole thing from a different perspective.... its agreed both movies and cricket or sport for that matter are different forms but all bracketed into that category called entertainment, now , a movie becomes a hit and few people earn money from that industry when people buy tickets for first viewing or even repeated viewing , nowadays people who are watching the movie for the first time also come to know what the movie is about from the reviews , about the repeated viwers they seem to relish watching the same scenes again and again even if they know what the result is going to be,... taking the same argument , how can it be wrong when just like in movies some people do the direction of sport to give enjoyment to certain public privy to earning big bucks from the sport , the viwer and the genuine cricket fan has always been an ass, so it does not matter to him whether some people make money and some people loses , he is only bohered about his daily dose of entertainment for cricket , so that he can forget day to day ennui in his normal sedantary life .... leave the cricket to book makers just like politics you cannot clean up the muck because it runs too deep, give us today our daily cricket with or without the fix , i am having my blinkers on ...."
Ridiculous comments on part of Mr. Taylor about betting. If betting is a fact of life then cricket will have have to live with match-fixing as well, as a fact of life.

Why not eradicate betting as well ?? Why talk about legalizing it ?? Someone who wants to earn money can invest in stock market or in a lottery. Why try to justify betting ?? If we eradicate betting, legal or illegal, match-fixing will disappear as well.
