Don't 'trap' corrupt cricket players: Australia

 The Pakistan cricket team, which is in the midst of a match-fixing, spot-fixing scandal, may just have received a boost from Australian cricket authorities.

It has unveiled an argument against staging match-fixing coups such as the one by the UK media which allegedly trapped a number of Pakistan players in match-fixing and spot-fixing deals worth tens of thousands of pounds - fingers have been raised against Pakistan captain Salman Butt, and pacers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir.
If the argument wins, the ICC may not pursue a very aggressive policy to catch the corrupt.
The ICC's plan of using undercover agents posing as illegal bookmakers to "entrap" players has not gone down too well with the Australian Cricketers' Association, which says the idea is neither"reasonable" nor "lawful".
ACA chief executive Paul Marsh said the ICC has not discussed the plan with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations
