Mazhar Majeed,London-based businessman Mazhar Majeed, who appears to accept 150,000 British pounds ($232,000) from undercover 'Newsof the World' reporters posing as a gambling syndicate in order to make sure no-balls are bowled at certain times during the fourthTest, gave the following statements.
"You'll find there's only a few players who are genuine and who are actually here for the love of the game, and there's not manybelieve me. A lot of them are just looking for money, women and food"
"How much they're getting paid is a joke. I came from a football background and I can see the difference in football and cricket.It's huge."
"I used to go out on the pitch to give the players their drinks. Whenever we couldn't get a wicket I'd have a lump of Vaseline on myhand. Shake their hand. They'd put it on one side of the ball and the ball would suddenly start in-swinging".
"I give out the information the night before or morning. What's going to happen at the end of the fourth day. But now we are not going to do any results for the next two games because we want Salman Butt to be captain long term," Majeed stated.
Ive been doing it with them, the Pakistani team, for about two and a half years. And weve made masses and masses of money
