KARACHI, (Reuters) – Protesters in the eastern city  of Lahore slapped donkeys with shoes and pelted them with rotten  tomatoes yesterday to vent their anger at the latest Pakistani  cricket fixing scandal.

Protesters led a procession of donkeys with the names of  players accused of taking bribes to fix incidents during the  fourth test against England stuck on the foreheads of the  animals.

“These players have let us and the country down. We are  already facing so many problems because of the floods and  terrorism and they took away our one source of happiness,” a  protester screamed at a television channel.

Television pictures also showed Pakistanis pelting their  team bus with rotten vegetables when it arrived at Lord’s in  London on Sunday.

The Chairman of the National Assembly standing committee on  sports, Iqbal Muhammad Ali, warned that the committee would  resign if the government did not change the Pakistan Cricket  Board management and recall the accused players.

“They have brought shame to the country and they deserve the  worst. We immediately demand the sacking of this board and if  this is not done we will resign in protest,” Ali told reporters.
