[Rajiv]

@sidin Salman Butt is an unfortunate name to have in jail. :hehe:

:hysterical::hysterical:

[ganeshran]

@yesnosorry Clearly Salman Butt planned all this to get off potty duty.

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

really. were they not all claiming they were innocent. Looks like they thought they can fool the world and most importantly fool Pakistan. Has Pakistan blamed ICC, BCCI,RAW, CIA or Mossad? or is Pakistan finally growing up Butt will do **** fixing in Jail. Butt has applied to Join Beygairat Brigade.

I'm sorry to say this (and this is not an Anti-Pak rhetoric)' date=' but their Cricket has also become a liability just like their own country to whole World. This World coould've been such a better place without them..This World doesn't needs them or deserves them.[/quote'] they are a country set to self destruct. they will wipe themselves:giggle:

Credit to UK legal system for handing out the punishments..For us it may seem harsh, as we have so many crooks with grave corruption charges never get punished, but this will go a long way in eradicating corruption from the game of cricket.

Coruption will stay as it has been for ages in cricket. What this does is that it convinces the viewer that this game is clean, which actually is not true:--D

^ But it will certainly discourage players from doing such thing.

i highly doubt pakistan will let their nationals be jailed in uk.

They will have to serve at least some part of their sentence in UK.

They will have at least some part of their sentence in UK.

i wouldn't want to have any indian however corrupt he/she is to be jailed in another country. we have to deal with it. they have no right.

Why they don't have right to do so? Crime was done there and they are in England only.

[Rajan]

if u commit an offence in another country(in this case UK), whether u r a pakistani or bangladeshi, u have to serve time in that country(UK). Of course u feel ashamed of admitting u r a pakistani; thats understandable.

In this case, the crime committed ( corruption) is in the UK. Its British laws that they have contravened, they will be punished in the UK. Unless you have some sort of diplomatic immunity or are an American soldier, you are generally tried and punished by the law of the land where you've committed the crime.

What is it with you and American soldiers?

[Mariyam]

^ Lol. It was an example. American Soldiers are tried and punished by the US military law even if they commit a crime in another country. for eg, if an American soldier kills a Japanese civilian in Okinawa after losing a game of cards to him, the soldier will be tried by US Military law and not by Japanese civilian law at a court in Okinawa. Pretty pathetic, come to think of it. But sorry, that's a digression. Lets all continue mocking the banned/ soon to be imprisoned Pakistani cricketers. :D

But how do they enforce it on a foreign land where they obviously dont have jurisdiction?

The US military law has jurisdiction where ever an American soldier is stationed. Generally the US military would lightly sentence active servicemen. You can find such instances all over the internet. Unless there is unbelievable public pressure, then in a few token cases they would sentence the erring soldier like he/she deserves to be or hand him over to the local authorities (rare).

Are there any diplomatic agreements to that effect between America and all the countries their troops goto? Who gives them the right to supersede the local authority?
