London court finds Butt, Asif guility in spot fixing Scam

Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif have been found guilty of their part in a "spot-fixing" scam. Former Pak cricket team captain Butt and bowler Asif had denied conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments. But a jury at London's Crown Court found Butt guilty of both charges and Asif guilty of conspiring to cheat. The Court heard the players, along with fast bowler Mohammad Amir who has already pleaded guilty to the charges. The two players plotted to deliberately bowl no-balls during a Lord's Test match against England last summer. The Judge, Justice Cooke, extended bail for them until their sentencing later this week.
