THEY alter their position in the field There were also suggestions that the fixes are arranged involving batsmen scoring a certain number of runs in an over, as well as the timing of when wickets are lost. PS THE infamous spot-fixing scandal of 2010 involving Pakistan saw fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif bowl no-balls to order against England at Lord’s by overstepping the crease. The players were exposed in a newspaper sting and, along with captain Salman Butt, were banned from cricket. Amir returned last year.
