will you still watch pakistan games if the accused pak players beat the charges?

[DingDong]

lets assume they get away with this or they get light bans. will you still watch them play?

if its too early to have this discussion or if it should be discussed in some other thread, mods can lock this.

Best, highly relevant third option evar.

I'd still watch for the innocent players, and if the four named are proven innocent (unlikely), then they can play.

 

[Matt79]

Yeah, would depend on whether they were exonerated, or whether they were found guilty but were given inadequate punishments.

 

[Langeveldt]

Yes.. I don't agree with the tour continuing, but I want to see how things play from a human perspective.. How England deal with the matches, how the crowd react, etc.

 

[Spark]

Almost certainly yes as it would be hardly fair to boycott all 22 players based on 4 or 5 or 7 (assuming that they are not exonerated, in which case the answer is, as they say, trivial).

I'd hardly be cheering them on, though.

 

[weldone]

I shall watch some of their matches on Television.

Not that I shall have too much faith on the scorecard, though.

 

[Uppercut]

I wouldn't "boycott" them, I just wouldn't watch because I wouldn't enjoy watching.

 

[GIMH]

Well I love pro wrestling so why not

 

[weldone]

Missing a better irrelevant third option

 

[Jarquis]

Considering I'm doing my best to get to Taunton on Thursday.... I wonder what my answer might be.

Trolls

 

[Daemon]

I kind of fear for the safety of the players involved. Although luckily this tour is being held in England, where crowds are civilized.

awta.

 

[_Ed_]

It depends how they "beat the charges". If they're able to come up with convincing evidence as to their innocence, sure. If their case mirrors that of Rod Blagojevich, no.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Ah crap. I'm on DingDong's radar now

 

[four_or_six]

Was already regretting wasting so much money on the Pakistan-Australia test match this year, seeing a couple of hours of batting collapse for spending £70 including travel. I definitely wouldn't pay to watch Pakistan again for a while, but I'd maybe watch a few overs on the TV to see how the players and crowd react.

2 mods think I am a troll - **** 'em. GIMH thinks so too - hurts.

 

[GIMH]

Nah, just that **** flem

[sledger]

If they beat the charges then I see no reason why I wouldn't keep on watching them.
