Offbeat: Pakistan cricket lovers make ass of players
Pakistani cricket lovers Monday protested at the match-fixing scandal by pelting tomatoes at donkeys labelled with the names of top national players embroiled in the allegations.
Chanting slogans against Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt and other team members, dozens of protesters also pretended to beat the donkeys with shoes during the demonstration in the eastern city of Lahore.
Seven members of the cricket team are facing a police investigation over claims they colluded with a middleman in a betting scam during their England tour, in a sting by British Sunday tabloid the News of the World.
Local media broadcast footage of the protest in which the donkeys had signs hung around their necks with the names of the accused players.
“It’s shameful and unacceptable,” local cricket lover Manzoor Ahmad told reporters. “We want them back [from England], they should be punished,” he said.
