cowboysfan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 i expected as much,i can finally watch these bozos play cricket.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 wonder when does the 5 yr ban start from today or from the date they were first suspended
ucilite Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 i think the tribunal wanted to give less than 5 years to Amir but the ICC code did not allow for it.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 i think the tribunal wanted to give less than 5 years to Amir but the ICC code did not allow for it. if they wanted to give less they could have said not guilty given a warning and let him go ; so tell me do you want these players to play for pakistan again ?
Sachinism Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 wonder when does the 5 yr ban start from today or from the date they were first suspended Must be from the day they were suspended
ucilite Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 if they wanted to give less they could have said not guilty given a warning and let him go ; so tell me do you want these players to play for pakistan again ? I would like Amir to play for pakistan again. Beloff himself seems to suggest that he would like to see change in ICC code...but for I think Butt should have been booked for life along with Asif...
Cricket_Guru Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 if they wanted to give less they could have said not guilty given a warning and let him go ; so tell me do you want these players to play for pakistan again ? never.....ICC has no balls.....
Sachinism Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Out of his 10 years' date=' 5 are suspended and will only be enforced if he breaks rules during his ban and the suspended sentence. So in effect all three are banned for 5 years[/quote'] What a massive fail from ICC How in the hell can Asif not get a life ban. No wonder cricket is a joke Instead of getting more nations to play the game, how about sorting out the nations that are currently playing. They've now set a benchmark so to speak regarding sentencing for match-fixing - future offenders need-not worry about life bans. So who's to say certain players won't be made scapegoats while they carry on cashing in?
jf1gp_1 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Must be from the day they were suspended so all 3 can make a comeback in 4.5yrs so Butt will be close to 31 , Asif will be close to 33, Amir will be 24

Kalia_Test Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I do feel sorry for Aamir ( none whatsoever for Butt and Asif)...he is a genuine loss to cricket...he was the real 'talented' guy out of everyone that padosis claim as talented like Afridi,Umar Akmal,etc...yes...we can all say that he committed a crime and brought disrepute to game and all...and all of it is true...but he might have genuine compulsions (captain's word, no real knowledge and thinking whats the big deal about 1 no ball...I can get the guy out next ball)... And also...Indian media...NDTV and all are also in some sort of sympathy for Aamir
cowboysfan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I sort of feel sorry for Amir,we will miss only the brightest players in world cricket,hopefully he will be able to make it back in 5 years.

This is the first instance of him being caught for spot fixing; plus going by all the report he had a good team to defend him remember even jadeja got 5 yrs so i am not surprised
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Amir a great ? If kambli was banned from cricket after his 1st year, he would have gone down in history as the greatest indian batsman.. (atleast if we acted like pakis and looked the other way when someone cheats)
jf1gp_1 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I sort of feel sorry for Amir' date='we will miss only the brightest players in world cricket,hopefully he will be able to make it back in 5 years.[/quote'] would you feel sorry for Kohli had he got 5yr ban after committing what Amir had done ? i am telling you kohli would have been crucified on this very forum and his career would have been over the day story broke ; no sympathy for amir
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 This is the first instance of him being caught for spot fixing; plus going by all the report he had a good team to defend him remember even jadeja got 5 yrs so i am not surprised jadeja got just 5 years because there was no evidence. He was later acquitted by Indian courts. Azhar too. If we had the same amount of evidence as in this case, most probably, they would have got life bans.
Sachinism Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 The following is the text of the statement issued by the chairman of the independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal Mr Michael Beloff, QC, at the end of the spot-fixing hearing of three Pakistan players – Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif -- at the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, QFC Tower 2, on Saturday. ‘The independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal which has been hearing the cases of Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif under the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code for Players and Player Support Personnel had adjourned on Tuesday 11th January 2011 after a six day hearing. ‘The Tribunal reconvened today for further submissions and thereafter announced the following decisions. ‘The Tribunal found that the charge under Article 2.1.1 of the Code that Mr Butt agreed to bat out a maiden over in the Oval Test match played between Pakistan and England from 18 to 21 August 2010 was dismissed, whereas the charge under Article 2.4.2 that Mr Butt failed to disclose to the ICC’s ACSU the approach by Mr Majeed that Mr Butt should bat a maiden over in the Oval Test was proved. ‘The Tribunal found that the charges under Article 2.1.1 of the Code that (respectively) Mr Asif agreed to bowl and did bowl a deliberate no ball in the Lord’s Test match played between Pakistan and England from 26 to 29 August 2010, Mr Amir agreed to bowl and did bowl two deliberate no balls in the same Test, and Mr Butt was party to the bowling of those deliberate no balls, were proved. ‘We impose the following sanctions: ‘On Mr Butt a sanction of ten years ineligibility, five years of which are suspended on condition that he commits no further breach of the code and that he participates under the auspices of the Pakistan Cricket Board in a programme of Anti-Corruption education. ‘On Mr Asif a sanction of seven years ineligibility two years of which are suspended on condition that he commits no further breach of the code and that he participates under the auspices of the Pakistan Cricket Board in a programme of Anti-Corruption education. ‘On Mr Amir sanction of five years of ineligibility. ‘No further sanctions are imposed on any player and no orders are made as to costs. ‘The Tribunal has recommended to the ICC certain changes to the Code with a view to providing flexibility in relation to minimum sentences in exceptional circumstances. ‘The Tribunal note that it is for the ICC, whether and if so when, the fully reasoned decision in respect of the breaches of the Code and of the sanctions imposed in consequence should be published. ‘It is our strong and unanimous view that it is in the interests of all concerned in the world of cricket that publication should take place as soon as possible.
Rajan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Asif deserved a life ban, with previous history of dope bans.he is a serial offender. Butt was the main culprit.but he is anyway finished. Aameer still has the possibility of coming back hope he joins some college and overcomes his 'uneducated' tag and reads the ICC rules.atleast next time he wont offer the excuse and he may not be so young too to claim mercy. over all ICC had taken a small step in putting the fear of ban in the minds of other erring, not yet caught cricketers.
jf1gp_1 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 jadeja got just 5 years because there was no evidence. He was later acquitted by Indian courts. Azhar too. If we had the same amount of evidence as in this case' date=' most probably, they would have got life bans.[/quote'] didnt they have a video where jadeja confessed and couldnt stop crying
