Pakistan team manager reading the spot fixing report

Probably the darkest phase in the history of Pakistan cricket, the News of the World revelation rocked the game and tarnished the image of the game.

On the fourth day, a stunning expose claimed that Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir took money to fix certain incidents during the match. The match continued on the fourth day amidst clouds of doubts and shame hovered all over Lords.

England went on to crush Pakistan, but the morose celebrations was a reminder of the dark side of cricket. No one was too flustered about the result of the match, but were concerned about the future of the three players.

All three were handed bans of varying degrees. And after almost 6 years, Amir is back at the place where he was shamed and where he walked away with his head buried in shame.
