Spare at least BD from the shame and stigma.
BD should be very careful and vigilant from such elements.

Vinod Kambli casts world cup 'match-fixing aspersion' on Azharuddin?
Former cricketer Vinod Kambli raised suspicion on the 1996 World Cup semi-final between India and Sri Lanka and said he found "something amiss" in the game, a claim which came in for sharp criticism from Sourav Ganguly.
Kambli, who scored 1084 runs in 17 Tests and 2477 runs in 104 ODIs for India, said he was suspicious of then captain Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to field first in the semi-final which was eventually awarded to Sri Lanka because of crowd problem.
However, Ganguly said just because India batted second in the match doesn't mean that the match was fixed and Kambli should back up his claims with solid proof, rather than dredge up a controversy.
Kambli claims that his suspicion arose due to Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to field first even though it was unanimously decided that the team would bat after winning the toss.
"I will never forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this and I was dropped from the team. I was stunned by India's decision to field," Kambli said while participating in a TC channel debate on ex-chief of ICC anti-corruption unit Paul Condon's statement that in the 90s and in the following years all of cricket's leading countries were involved in fixing major matches.
"I was standing on one side and on the other end my fellow batsman was telling me that we would chase the target. However, soon after they quickly got out one by one. I don't know what transpired.
"Something was definitely amiss. However, I was not given a chance to speak and was dropped soon after. Our team manager at that time Ajit Wadekar was aware of everything. He had even written an article afterwards that Vinod Kambli had been made a scapegoat," he said.
Kambli said he was shocked when it came to know that they have to field when everybody was mentally prepared to bat.
"We had been playing well during the entire World Cup and even defeated the likes of West Indies and Pakistan to reach the semifinal. Our openers were all set to bat, however, at the nick of time, we learnt we had to field. I got a huge shock after learning this," he said.
"I cried because I thought I was robbed of a chance to do it for my country. The entire team hugged me. Most of us were crying, he recalled. It was not only Tendulkar and other cricketers' dream to win the Cup but mine too," he added.
However, former India skipper Ganguly was critical of Kambli and asked why did he took 15 years to raise the issue.
"This is a big allegation. He should come out with a proof. I want to know why he took 15 years to talk about it. If he has proof let him come out with it. Just because India batted second in the semifinal and lost the match, it doesn't mean that it was fixed," Ganguly told a TV channel.
Sri Lanka won the first semi-final over India at Eden Gardens when chasing a total of 251 for 8, the hosts slumped to 120 for 8 in the 35th over and that led to crowd disturbance.
The players left the field for 20 minutes in an attempt to quieten the crowd. When the players returned for play, more bottles were thrown onto the field, forcing Match referee Clive Lloyd to award the match to Sri Lanka, the first default ever in Test or One Day International

How Hansie Cronje became most infamous villain in cricket's fixing scandals
In 1996, he was introduced to Indian bookmaker Mukesh Gupta – known as 'John' – by Mohammad Azharuddin (the former India captain who was banned for life by his board in 2000). It was the start of a long and lucrative relationship – Cronje received bribes totalling about £65,000.
During a Test in Kanpur in 1996, Gupta asked Cronje to persuade his team to throw the match. Cronje says he spoke to no one and "received money for doing nothing".
In the infamous Centurion Test against England in 2000, he received £5,000 and a leather jacket for contriving a win for Nasser Hussain's tourists when a weather-affected draw looked certain.
Later that year, in India, he asked Mark Boucher, Jacques Kallis and Lance Klusener to throw a Test. They thought he was joking, and refused.
He then asked Herschelle Gibbs and Henry Williams to under-perform in a one-day international at Nagpur. Gibbs was told to score fewer than 20, while Williams agreed to concede more than 50. Even though they were not paid after Gibbs hit 74 and Williams bowled 1.5 overs due to injury, they received six-month bans.

'Indian involved in cricket match-fixing'
In a shocking revelation, a seasoned English county player today claimed that an Indian businessman had approached him to fix one-day domestic matches, a development which sent alarms in the cricket fraternity.
A report in 'The Daily Telegraph' said a player, who has more than 10 years' experience in English cricket, was told by the Indian businessman to quote "his own price" and that "things are already happening in county cricket".
The player, who remains anonymous, has reported the incident to authorities and the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) would be contacting the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACU) on the player's behalf, the report said.
"They basically told me I could name my price for providing them with knowledge of the result of the game and they made me believe other counties are already involved," the player was quoted as saying in the report.
The matches in question could be those of Friends Provident Twenty20 Cup which starts next week with more than 30 matches televised live overseas, it added.
The player was left with the perception that if he did not take the money then somebody else would.
"Their line of communication with me was that other people were already involved. I don't know if they were just telling me that to persuade me to get involved or whether it was serious. The idea was that I would take the offer into the dressing room to get the others to agree," he said.
"My worry with this is that there will be a situation where two of the smaller counties play against each other in a televised game and they could come to an agreement and make about five times their salary from one match.
"This problem is a lot more serious than people think.
Others could be out there naming their own price. It is a scary thought," he said.
PCA legal director Ian Smith is working with ACU to make the process of reporting approaches from bookies foolproof.
"The PCA are determined to work with the ACU to develop a workable protocol that allows players to come forward with confidence," Smith said.
"We recognise that it is for the good of the game that players fulfill their duty to report approaches. We are aware of the concerns players might have over these issues and we will work with ACU to address those."
This incident came to light at a time when police are investigating two Essex players for alleged spot-fixing during last season's Pro40 match between Essex and Durham.
Essex's Pakistani spinner Danish Kaneria and pacer Mervyn Westfield were arrested but they are out on bail now.
Writing in the same paper, former England captain Michael Vaughan said he believes this is not a one-off incident and he asked all cricketers to report such approaches and protect the credibility of county cricket.
"By speaking out I hope this player will shame others - and I am sure more players have been approached - into also going public.
"In the past, players have laughed off these kinds of approaches but now they must reveal the danger the game is facing. Its credibility is at stake," Vaughan said.
"This is further evidence that as far as the fixers are concerned, our game is ripe for corruption. That was always going to be the case as soon as county cricket was beamed abroad, which increased its exposure," he added.

The ICC chairman right now is an Indian. He won't do anything against his own country....
Great, now they keep targeting us....
Dude India is ruling cricket off the field from last 10 years due to our financial influence on game. We could do anything but believe me it's not on our agenda. We will prefer to destroy white man's monopoly on cricket and we did it
