Rana & Malik: If they were involved in any type of match fixing, its minimum they got, as for as Malik is concerned, I always felt he cares more for his personal stats as compare to team need so I was already never in favor of his selection. Yousuf & Younis: There is no "ban" on these two, they have been "dropped" from all format, simple. I personally feel they will challenge it in court and as this decision don’t make much sense rather it is ridiculous, I am sure PCB can't defend it too long, Pakistan's next ODI/Test match is still 4 months away so meanwhile lots of things can happen and they will be back surely. Akmal Bros: Its great decision to show them their real level, hopefully they will be careful next.

Actually not just these two, I suspect all of these guys will have their bans/fines overturned soon enough based on previous experiences. It is a circus.

It is a circus.[/quote'] May be but may not be, maximum chances for Younis n Youssuf only because 1): Public/Media/cricketers will support only Yousuf n Younis and rightly so... 2): Rana is already IN/OUT man, Malik decent player but looking his all recent performance, he is no more a big need for team. 3): Cricket Fans dont care for financial charges on cricketers, they want to see them in action which they stlll are, so in Akmals bros n Afridi etc case they have to deal it personally, they wont find much support in their favour for.

Even Chota Khatmal gets the axe? Could someone explain why?

Even Chota Khatmal gets the axe? Could someone explain why?

because he allegedly feigned that back injury to show solidarity with Bada Khatmal

As a Pakistani fan I have to say that I am pleased to hear this great news. Forget what the Indians have to say, their opinion matters little as their team doesn't have the poor discipline ours done and so cannot undersand how much it affects the team. Younis and Yousuf are considered to be nice guys, but I promise you, deep down they are all power hungry men, you can tell this from the way they performed under each other's captaincy. Just looking at their scores and particularly the scoring rates is enough to tell you they weren't match fixing, but they were delivberately playing bad or worse than they actually can in many games. It was always under another person's captaincy, never under their own. As for Malik and Rana, good riddance, both were real ego maniacs and their attitude was dreadful. They truly deserve the bans and it sets an example to everyone else, behave or you'll be gone too. The Akmal brothers are no Waugh brothers, they aren't here to help their side win everything, they are here it seems to try and get as many family members in the team as possible, for their reaction after the Sydney Test loss, a fine is not enough, 6 month ban should have been better. Now onto the biggest trouble maker of the lot, if I was in charge, this guy would have been banned from international cricket for life, not for the tampering as that's a minor offence, everyone does it on Sunday League cricket in the UK. I would ban him for the b*tching that he was constantly doing every time he went anywhere since Inzamam retired. He's got off lightly because the PCB isd probably afraid of a horrible backlash from stupid fans. If he's banned of course he'll miss the T20 WC, which the fans won't allow. I feel the punishment is not severe enough in 3 cases, but finally well done to the PCB for standing up and taking action. Shame on the PCB for not being fair in their punishment by banning Afridi too.

I find it interesting. On one hand you say that it's not ban, but they have been dropped- that would be for bad performance- on the other hand you say that they would challenge it in court. What will they tell the court? "Your honor, how dare the selectors drop us? Even if we performed piss poor, we are stars and hence we have an eternal right to play in the team. Since our birthright has been compromised, may we be given a place in the team and the selectors be sent to prison." Since when can a player go to a court if he is dropped from the team? Anyways, it's a ban. A drop is when the selectors overlook a player. When the team management declares that the players would dropped irrespective of what the selectors may think of him, that is a ban.

And I thought Jadeja's IPL ban was over the top :haha::haha:

One more point I have to make, this action will only stand great if the PCB does not wilt under crowd pressure, which will certainly come. They must not give in to fan pressure, else this whole episode will become an even bigger mess than the one they created at the turn of the century.

But who will punish the biggest offender of them all? The PCB? Had the board acted in the right way, all these problems could have been solved at a very early level. Think about it, is the PCB not a partner in crime in all of the above you mentioned by allowing it all to happen when they were perfectly aware of it? There is a provision in mercantile law that says that if you are aware of someone breaking the rules of a contract and still don't stop him or point it out, you automatically accept the breach and it becomes a part of the contract and if the breach was criminal in nature against the state, all parties are answerable to the state for the crime. When the PCB first became aware of the politics, games, groupisms and still did nothing to stop it, allowed the players enough rope to destroy the team spirit so bad that it has done an irreversible damage, in my opinion, PCB not only becomes a partner in the crime, but it becomes the more serious offender of the two as it was the one with the authority. It's the same as a cop allows a criminal commit a murder and then shoot him because he committed the murder. Who is punishing the cop? Who is punishing the PCB? And not only is PCB a senior partner in all the crimes you mentioned, it is also guilty of having produced villains out of players who could have been entirely different had they been guided the proper way.

I couldn't agree more with this statement, but sadly nothing can be done about the PCB. It's as corrupt as the politicians, maybe cause some of them are in some way politicians of a sort. The PCB needs to be cleaned out, but who has the balls to do it? Sadly we're left with this incompetant organisation. The most pathetic, even more pathetic than the ICC.
