Mohammad Amir denounced by Salman Butt's lawyer in spot-fixing trial

Bowler Mohammad Amir had been heavily involved in the fixing and possibly Mohammad Asif was also - though not Butt, Southwark crown court heard on Tuesday.

Ali Bajwa, the lawyer of former Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt, told a jury that  Mohammad Amir was no "naive and innocent teenager" but was probably involved in fixing events at cricket matches on his own, and without the involvement of his captain, Salman Butt. "This isn't some naive and wholly innocent 19-year-old," he said.

His allegation proofs, defending Butt against charges of cheating at gambling and accepting corrupt payments, included the texts that goes right back to 17 August. He said, "Amir sends a text to Pakistan saying: 'How much and what needs to be done?' Later he sends another saying: 'Yes, but what needs to be done?' Then he says: 'This is going to be too much mate.' His final text to the number is: 'So in first 3, bowl however you want, and in the last 2, do 8 runs?'"

Earlier Asif told the court he was pressured before the delivery because his captain had told him, "run faster f*****, have you slept". Bajwa labelled the excuse "ludicrous". 

The stone throwing seems to be the last moves from the alleged traitors. The trial continues.
