Hashan Tillakaratne said "I can tell this in agreement with my conscience. Match fixing is not something that started happening yesterday or today. According to my knowledge, it happened since 1992. I say this with great responsibility,"

India has seen the impact of match fixing in past ans so have other countries..

Now revelation that it existed since that long, isn't it like playing with the emotions of the fan??!!

I believe that this is true and I feel really bad that I have always appreciated the game and have been loyal to watching matches.. It is shameful, really shameful..

WHO WE ARE TO DECIDE?

Every body in this world is money-minded, including those persons who say that the players have played with their emotions. So, what is the difference between those money-minded people and the players who also become money-minded? They play only for money not to respect your emotions. Why should they be expected to respect your emotions, as you are not paying anything to them to play for you.

Old story: People started hitting a person calling him a sinner. But when a saint asked them that only those persons should hit him with stones, if they have not sinned any time in their lives. And the stone pelting stopped, because every body realized that they were also sinners.

This is not the matter to be reviewed by our members. Let the Cricket Board investigate and decide what to do with those sinners. Just think if you know everything about every one.

If matches are fixed then those allegations must be proved and media here has a large role to play to expose that truth. If not, Hashan can keep his mouth shut as we have no time to hear to his nonsense.

WEATHER HE IS RIGHT OR WRONG THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT IS THE YEAR (1992) WHICH LEAVES LOT OF ROOM FOR FAIR AMOUNT OF SUSPICION.

Is total World Cup is fixed to make India, as a Winner? It is really suspicios , as 4 changes were made for the final by Srilanka & Ajanta Mendis's exclusion in-spite-of his good record against India is really put a question mark on Sangkara's decision. May be Hasan is trying to tell the truth behind the story. Thanks for referral, Himanshu.

I agree with you. If you go back to 1992 there were hardly any money in cricket which is true today except for India. So match fixing is one way to earn extra.

I am sure now things have changed.

This one game which gives you 'noveau riche' status in a short period if you adopt tricky methods. He may be right in saying so. Definitely, India had witnessed a number of "black sheeps" in the past and had taken corrective measures. Where is patriotism these days - even the rulers are not patriotic, what else can be expected out of these young budding lads, if they are lured!

Wherever there is money, there is corruption (match fixing in cricket and other games). And wherever there is money, a disgruntled participant tends to blow the whistle and expose it. Guess, Hashan was landed a raw deal somewhere and by somebody and he is complaining now. Dont worry, folks. This also will be hushed up and the world will be back to normal - match fixing, etc. Afterall the public should get some adrenalin flowing when they watch the matches by paying their hard earned money. And what better way than this?

Dear Saibal Ray,

If you have a long time to spare to see the fixed matches to get your emotions played, you also have to spare a briefof your time to hear all these related news, reumours or comments. If you don't have time for any related news, rumour or comments, but you prefer to watch the matches, why do you feel that the players have played with your emotions.

NO REACTION.

IT ALL DEPENDS UPON THE HONESTY, ETHICS, GREED OF THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER.

DISHONESTY & GREED ON THE PART OF INDIVIDUAL PLAYER CANNOT BE OVERRULED.

THEY CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO BE CONCERNED WITH THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS,  LIKE ALL OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, NOT BEING CONCERNED WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S EMOTIONS.
