It is hilarious that Waqar is questioning credibility of Proteas

[putrevus]

Waqar: 'Big question mark on South African credibility' even though he is right but when hearing from him made me laugh. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/current/video_audio/682725.html So Asim and co your legend questions credibility of no1 side on basis of one incident?your views How about rest of cricketing world question legitimacy of all the records of your legends who either confessed of using bottle tops or suspended for ball tampering. As Pat Symcox aptly wrote on his twitter Ok..so let's complete the question..."which cricket. country has had the most players banned from playing because of cheating.

[Laaloo]

yup. Somebody needs to make waqar realize about the good old days with them bottle caps.

Ball tamepring is illegal and any player doing it should be punished. However, questioning the credibility of Proteas team due to few players is stupid , especially when it comes from Waqar Younis who himself was banned for this same guilt. Pakistan had players caught for Biting balls, ball tampering, match fixing, even players been jailed. Does that mean all Pak victories does not have credibility? Poor stuff from a veteran like Waqar.

WAQAR YOUNIS yesterday became the first player to be suspended for ball-tampering when match referee John Reid banned him from playing against Sri Lanka in the middle of the triangular series that also involves South Africa. The veteran fast bowler will be available for the last of Pakistan's four qualifying matches and the final, if they reach it, but the one match ban is more symbolic than effective, with Waqar having looked tired and ineffective in the tournament so far. Television pictures from Saturday, when Pakistan played South Africa, showed Waqar and fellow seamer Azhar Mahmood gouging the side of the ball with thumbnails and scratching at the seam, unaware that modern technology was not only recording their misdeeds but enhancing it with a television 'magnifier'. Waqar would have received no more than the usual, bland ICC warning if Reid had not already done just that in the third Test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Kandy which finished eight days ago. Although Reid is officially bound to silence outside the statement issued by Sri Lankan board chief executive Dammika Ranatunga, he prides himself on being the 'hard man' of the ICC panel, and let it be known to all and sundry, privately, that he would have been "a mouse" if he hadn't acted when Waqar was caught again. Unlike in Kandy when the irrascible Brigadeer Mohammad Nasir, the Pakistan manager, claimed Waqar was cleaning the ball, no defence was mounted this time. The Pakistan board will, however, protest to the ICC over the ban. "John Reid has been a bit biased against Pakistan and we will take up this matter with the ICC," board official Yawar Saeed said. Waqar seemed baffled when confronted with the news: "I've been doing the same thing for 15 years," he said. Conspiracy theorists will note that the entire television production crew on duty in Sri Lanka, including the cameramen, are South African, but producer Richard Parker says their role in Waqar's demise is not necessarily of their making. "After Waqar was seen in Kandy scratching down one side of the ball John Reid told us to keep an eye on any of the teams for ball-tampering and to help him if we could," Parker said. "The ball was changed after 35 overs during the South African innings on Saturday and the word we got was that if there was any 'work' to be done on the replacement ball it would happen rapidly in the first couple of overs after that. "We saw Waqar almost immediately but Azhar kept turning away from the cameras to shield what he was doing. But we had enough cameras and kept them on him, even during the commercial breaks. Eventually we caught him." Waqar was also fined half of his match fee by Reid, with Mahmood having to pay 30 per cent. Pakistan captain Moin Khan was severely reprimanded for "allowing the spirit of the game to be impaired," according to the Sri Lankan board statement.
