maniac Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looks like he will eventually make a comeback especially with Pak having some overseas tours scheduled....tough technically every Pak game is an overseas game Anyways I personally think he should be allowed back into the international arena having served his ban.Do I think he was an innocent kid led astray by others-of course not.Do I think he is talented-Yes but not at the level of how some padosis view him as some kind of a legend.I don't think cricket is richer or poorer without Amir as Pakistanis seem to claim but from purely a perspective of he did his time and it is time to move on and let him back in.Marlon Samuels served his ban for his involvement with bookies and he was back and everyone accepted him and moved on,a similar case can be made for Amir too.So yeah I don't think I have a problem with his re-admission into international cricket.....it's funny to see some Pakistani players take a moral high ground on this issue ....Hafeez I think it was.So just wanted to hear other opinions.

Laaloo Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 yeah he served his ban so I guess all is good now. Man its been long Link to comment
adi B Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have no problems with him coming back,don't really care actually.its all pcb's prerogative now .Lets see how much speed he has lost or gain since the exile Link to comment
kosingh Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 He was given a 5 year ban. Not a life ban. He served his 5 years. Making it a life ban now would be inappropriate. panesarv 1 Link to comment

nevada Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yes, it was a 5 year ban and he served it out but how trustworthy is he? Will he go back to his old ways once again? Will he corrupt his team members also? Thankfully, these are all problems the PCB has to think about, not us. Link to comment

In 2009-10 tour ,the aus pitches were all lively and had a lot to offer to the bowlers ,he still got spanked except in Melbourne where he picked a five fer in the second innings I think.stop lying with the speeds lol,he clocked a few balls over 145 ,one touched 149 i think but his average speed was nowhere close to 145 ,amir was never an express bowler and Aussie speed guns are not that accurate,even pishant clocked153 k in Melbourne ,hazlwewood of all people was clocked 150k this summer lolIf he bowls on these flat pattas in aus,he'll be massacred like boult was.Still amir was a talent and made full use of the English conditions but he was young and could have become better,now lets see how well he performs after the lay off Link to comment
sandeep Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 He had so much potential. Tragic that he allowed himself to be sucked into corruption. Of the 3, he appears to be the least guilty and the most remorseful. I'm glad he wasn't a Team India player, it would be really mixed feelings if he was. Somehow, I doubt he will ever live up to what he flashed in his early career. Odds are, he will end up being more Rana Naved or Sami, then the 2 Ws. Link to comment

beautifulgame Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Really don't care tbh.But the falling over of padosi fans for the comeback of someone who cheated them has been hilarious last few monthsHopefully he flops real bad .Then the same fans slating him and calling him crook again non stop will be even more comical. adi B 1 Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Dont care. But neither do I think he is a legend. Irfan Pathan had a similar start, n look where he is now. Would love to see him spanked by Indian batsmen. Link to comment
