The cricketers give their 100%, sometimes more than that, to win a game for their team. Any fan would be frustrated if a cricketer fixes matches for money.

The sport has seen several instances when the players fixed matches. Right from the 1990s to the darkest hour in Indian Cricket which involved the likes of late Hansie Cronje, Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, Herschelle Gibbs etc., Pakistan's spot-fixing where captain Salman Butt and pacers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif took money to bowl no-balls, IPL spot-fixing scandal in which Indian pacer S Sreesanth, spinners Ankit Chavan and Ajit Chandela were convicted and later acquited, the "Gentlemen's Game" has seen several incidents where the players took money to fix matches.

Not one or two incidents, every single player who has been caught in match-fixing is a disgrace to the sport and doing this is the most disgraceful act in the history of any sport, not just cricket.
