Sad, sad, sad; but mostly unwise. Money the root of all corruption.
There's a time long time you weren't getting any, get a lil chance
to eat a food but wanna choke. Sigh! I hope they're wrong about him

No sir, I respectfully disagree. Don't blame money, individual responsibility please.

When I saw the Header,I thought it was non serious and I was going to say that maybe he was suspended for impersonating an International Cricketer but then once I opened it, realized it was not a joking matter.

Is that when he played for the Jamaican franchise?
Listen out for VOR. This should certainly bring him out of hiding.

Every one of these stupid franchise based T20 domestic league is rife with match fixing and spot fixing.
It would truly astound people if they knew just how many of these matches are scripted by Indian book-makers and how many players are directly involved.

Not blaming money, if they are correct then his greed (choked i.e. Yardie saying 'Craven Choke Puppy)
resulted in evil . Now, suspicion and spotlight will be on other Caribbean players because of him.
2023-05-23 19:00:41
Better guide and protection needed for our players, these guys are not that savvy, Samuels' case all over again.
2023-05-23 19:13:28
i hope for himself and his family he is cleared of these charges
because the sigma of corruption is sit on him and the caribbean franchise
Anyone knows how these "fixers" get so easy access to the players when most people can't?

It will be interesting to see CWI approach on the matter.
Will they approach it in terms of every one is innocent until proven guilty
and if necessary ensure the player has a sound defense team? Is that their purview as
home board? Just like a govt. ensures a citizen gets a public defender if needed? (Quality or lack not withstanding)

This has very little to do with CWI since the alleged offenses did not occur during a CWI tour but during a franchise tour.
CWI will be like Pontius Pilate and rightly so.

Ask Marlon Black about that!!!!
2023-05-23 21:21:26
I think the CWI got to be involved here. These guys are contracted by franchises with the blessings of CWI via a NOC. My understanding is that they also get a cut for granting these certificates ....
2023-05-23 22:04:05
Tek too long to get a bus so he decided to bus himself if the allegation proved true!
2023-05-23 23:05:37
Its sad...
Its stupid
It is GREED...why else would someone risk everything unless they stupidly believed that they were about to gain so much that it was worth the risk?
no excuses...
character - thumbs down.

Gotta agree with you. That is not something that could just be attributed to bad luck or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Anyways, as my niece would say, does Hety get his spot for the UAE tour or does Hety now wine on them and say he cannot find the airport on google maps
2023-05-24 00:35:54
Easy for you guys to make an assertion of greed, trained individuals get into compromising situations by individuals who spend time and money cultivating them.

The President said on the Mason show this evening, since he is suspended he cannot participate on the tour to Dubai.

The man is innocent until proven guilty, he also has a tale.

You do realize that all the players are REPEATEDLY WARNED about these match fixers in the leagues in Asia.They are given briefing notes about how these guys operate and instructed that they should immediately report any approaches made to them.You are acting as though these cricketers are simple naive young men.Devon Thomas is well over 30 years old.He is not a novice and was involved in MULTIPLE SCHEMES in 3 FRANCHISES where this took place.
I know of what I speak because back in April 2018 I penned a letter to certain authorities warning them about this very thing in an excerpt from my letter to them
These two young men have distinguished themselves on the cricket field for both Guyana and the West Indies.Their talent has put them in a situation where they will be confronted with extremely complex choices in far-off lands where there are numerous minefields which await them.It is my opinion that these two young men should be given the tools to cope with the myriad of challenges which await them and I feel that you two gentlemen are ideally suited to help them acquire the necessary skills to navigate these treacherous waters.
I also know that since then CWI and WIPA have repeatedly warned our players in the foreign leagues to be aware of these fixers both verbally and in writing.
The NAIVE EXCUSE is INVALID.
2023-05-24 09:38:22
I wish Devon Thomas the best and await his side of the story
2023-05-24 11:39:25
Innocent until proven guilty is correct.

Lou Vincent laid it all out bare for how easy it is for players to get compromised by the bookies and the Indian mafia.
And a few years after that, the BBC (I think?) did an investigative piece where they went undercover and hired one of the bookies who, again, laid it all out on how extensive the match fixing and spot fixing is in all these franchise T20 leagues and that they had many of the top players from all over the world on their payroll.
And you have a whole bunch of jackasses here who believe they're watching real cricket matches in the IPL.

You ever think it's entirely co-incidental that the first couple of matches at the start of every IPL season are final over last ball "thrillers"?

It is good that you have given your time to be involved to the extent that you are.
In most cases there'll be one rotten egg in the coop. But, regarding Kay's comment
CWI should though not involved in any hearing keep abreast to ensure the player's
right to a fair trial. All WI players are members of some local club which is an
affiliate of CWI. Guilty or not player's rights to fair judgement must be protected.
We have seen numerous occasions of bias against WI from on-field calls to match referee
rulings and some would say even judgements regarding match-fixing.

What is disturbing is the fact that there are 3 distinct instances of contact with undesirables in 3 different leagues including our own CPL.The events took place in 2021 so I am sure it has been thoroughly investigated and they probably have the evidence.

Repeat that a little louder for those who only see franchise cricket as being compromised.
All of sport has betting and assorted gambling involved for ages now. Cricket is no exception! Doesn't mean that they're not players out there honestly contesting bat and ball!
