ICC should take necessary steps to teach the PCB and Pak cricket players a lesson. Any tolerance will show its cowardness as a body and bring a bad name to the game in future.
Pakistan played excellent cricket and were the deserved winners of the 3rd ODI at Oval. Had I been the PCB boss in place of Ijaz Butt, I would have asked the Pakistan team and officals to immediately pack up their bags and kits and return to Pakistan as soon as it was alleged that this match was fixed.
Ijaz Butt said "some of the bookies told him that the English players were paid to lose". He said exactly what the Sun newspaper said "The bookies in Delhi and Dubai informed the newspaper that the Pakistani players had tanked the 3rd ODI at Oval".
Media should catch his b**ls! How did he know what is happending in bookmaking circle! May be he knows them all!!! The financial condition pakistan cricket is in it should not surprise anyone that PCB is asking players to get invloved in spot-fixing and PCB will have their cut.

Haquw:
Seems you are horrified at the idea of reading any article before making comments......
The ICC ordered a probe after a British tabloid passed on information that the scoring patterns during Pakistan's innings were similar to the ones determined by bookies in India [ Images ] and UAE.
So you are saying that the British tabloid or ICC were behind the fixing as they were aware of the bookmaking patterns? :)
