chainsmoker1985 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I don't see any problem in his return to International Cricket. He was just 19 when he took that wrong step in the influence of his seniors. Thats the truth of life. Juniors always follow the lead. He must have learnt his lesson by now. And don't forget, we have much bigger convicts in every field of life whether its sports, politics or glamour world.
1983-2011 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 No cheats allowed in sport arent underworld dons cheaters aswell:winky:

Dravid_TheWall Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 No. At least a 10 year ban. What he did was very serious and well planned. Geoff Lawson might be naive and think he was doing it to pay for electricity in his village but the circumstances say otherwise.
Utalk Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Undecided. Kid was a special talent and after serving his punishment he should get second chance. We have seen likes of Gibbs and Samuel come back after serving their bans. Heart says he should get another chance but head says he should never be picked again to send a strong message. If he comes back in three years he will be in early to mid twenties and will have a decade long career ahead of him. Which will be wrong example for future generations.
Old guy Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 well i cant make up my mind.. i mean even kids know that bowling no balls like that is wrong and that it will lead to ban so is that a good excuse ? yes he might ve been forced but who knows.. he did pleaded guilty.. thats why he wasnt convicted for long and about that it happens in other places ..sports is totally diff form other things itsj ust against the essense of sports wht he did and also isnt it national pride to give ur best and try to win bowling no balls like that.. he even went against his own country so imo he should not play and pakistan should move on

Heart says yes for me too, based on his talent. But I mean Samuels gave tips to a bookie and was rightly banned 5 years. What Butt, Asif and Amir did was well planned, malicious to their country and sport. Who knows how many times they did it? This was just a "lucky catch." When someone goes out there and doesn't play to his best due to financial reasons, that is the ultimate insult to the fans who follow the game...
Pak_Fan_4_Eva Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 No cheats allowed in sport Let's not go there. Your big three, barring one, have been guilty as well. On topic, I said it before in another thread. He has been punished quite severely for an 18/19 year old kid. He is reaping what he sowed. Jail sentence in a foreign country and a 5 year ban from Cricket. Unlike Asif, if Aamer shows remorse, he has every right to make a comeback. Based on performance of course.
1983-2011 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 good one :cantstop: they are humans afterall:giggle:

cybervickey Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 HE's a kid.I'd cut him some slack. Things like countries honor aren't really at the top of the list for a 17 yo guys who was so poor that he couldn't afford a pair of cricketing shoes.TBH i have done some thing at that age that I am not particularly proud of. lol.
Old guy Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 they are humans afterall:giggle: for him underworld people who took lifes of so many persons are better then fixers i dont even want to know why he thinks like that :cantstop:

cybervickey Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 lol but now he was in national team! was going to be icc emerging player of the year ..and he is from subcontinent .. i dont think money would ve been such a problem now maybe 1-2 years ago yes but once u break into team.. u get enough money imo Yes but you mindset doesn't change as quickly as your living condition change.You don't just start eating a hamburger everyday just because you moved to the U.S from India.Takes time. edit :IF it was up to me i would've banned But and Asif FOR LIFE .Butt for being the captain and Asif for being a proven cheat and let Amir go with a much lighter punishment TBH.

I feel that the clout BCCI enjoys over cricket this matter would've been settled in a different manner lol ;). Then again ,IF he was an Indian cricketer he wouldn't have to bowl that no ball since he would've been making so much money that money wouldn't have been an issue for him .Also, our player are a bit more educated than them.:--D
