"It's not cricket' was an adage,". "It is the insidious effect of your actions on professional cricket and the followers of it that make the offences so serious."
"The image and integrity of what was once a game but is now a business is damaged in the eyes of all, including the many youngsters who regarded you as heroes and would have given their eye teeth to play at the levels and with the skills that you had,"
The judge in his judgement has made his observation wisely .It is serious warning to the Indian players not to indulge in 'spot fixing ,match fixing or any other form of cheating because we live in a country where cricket is a religion and cricketers are treated as 'gods', such acts will break the hearts of the Indian cricket lovers and will feel let down if they found that their cricketers had cheated them for the sake of money.Let the game be played fair because the cricketers were once called ''gentlemen in whites' besides are the cricketers not earning enough name ,fame and money.Please do not do not cheat the devotion of the innocent public .
