That's an odd name for a Pakistani

At least he has admitted it unlike the Pakistan players. Life ban and jail sentence please.

Tbf Aamir pleaded guilty didn't he?

You'd think it'll be exactly that penalty.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Looking at his stats, it probably wasn't hard for him to bowl crap.

True, Fisharse was the one I was getting at though and the chump Asif.

Lol. True that.

Sheds light on Cameron White's recent form imo

Lets keep to the topic at hand, please, rather than having shots at Pakistanis.

Why should he get a life ban. Butt and co didn't. And again jail is too much. Hope he gets a fine and should get a 5 year ban.

Jail as the Pakistan players got jail and if he doesn't then the cries of racism etc will be unbelievable. I hope ECB makes a stance and bans him for life. Just my personal opinion.

That's why.

Agree with you. Don't think it necessarily works like that, and actually would really prefer to see the kids let out rather than chucking another one in.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I guess the ban is then up to the ECB, but he should get a 5 year ban from ICC (they all should have got a life ban) for the consistency. Maybe the PCB should also think about life bans for the trio.

But I have always though that jail for something like this is excessive.

 

[Spikey]

it's corruption. It's gaol worthy.

 

[Xuhaib]

will ICC be sending 1204 recommendations to ECB on how to restructure English cricket?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

If this guy has pleaded guilty, then I am sure that Kenaria was also involved.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'll be consistent on what I said about last year's trial and say he should get a life ban, but not a prison sentence.

 

[Xuhaib]

Kaneria has been cleared earlier by ECB.

 

[benchmark00]

He should be forced to play for the Sydney Thunder.
