Should M Aamer be shown leniency?

[Varun]

if only Aamer is found gulity then only Aamer should be banned, not the whole team

It so obvious.

I thought wild generalisations were par for the course in this thread?

Not thinking is the par.

If you show leniency with him, what will be the age where you stop showing leniency?

My point of view is plain and simple, everyone involved has to go for life.
As much as I want to see Amir still in the game to see how he develops, there will always be that question mark over his head when he's bowling, and I don't think that's at all good for the game.
Yes I feel sorry for him as he was more than likely heavily influenced by the more senior Asif and Butt, but he has to now take the same punishment.

I assume he would be getting paid the same as Asif for doing it, so therefore if they weren't caught he would of reked the same rewards, so he has to take the same punishment.

So when is this bloody investigation gonna finish? I don't feel like watching Pakistan games until all these gets cleared up, everything looks fishy out there atm (especially Afridi struggling to hit sixes/get out )

This investigation will take months. They aren't just going to rush it.

Ian thinks no leniency but his reasoning is really weird. ban him so the crooks can't harass him? :sarcasm

Just ban him to set a lesson to everyone else. I don't buy this "threats" bullshit for one minute. Its another lie/excuse from people caught redhanded but still without the shame to fess up.

No leniency should be showed depending on age. But he can be banned for 10 years and not for life-time.

You're basically contradicting yourself immediately.

 

[Bevab]

I said no leniency should be showed depending on the age of the cricketer. It depends upon the things he affected, No.of runs given, Money received, and his innocence in this cases.

From C5's comments they seem to be claiming England have worked pop-gun Afridi out and how to bowl to him. Truth is in ODIs his pop-gun cameos were shortlived if explosive and maybe he's decided to try and add volumes of runs rather than quick ones

 

[angryangy]

Truth is that he either walks out with a good eye or he doesn't. Maybe the shot selection is a bit better when he gets a hundred, but it's not like he ever waits until he's in before having a dip. I think his record both in and against England is historically quite bad, so it would be somewhat amusing if their claim of having suddenly found him out "pops" in their face.

Mohammad Aamer may tell all about Pakistan fixers | Herald Sun

Well, if he is really going to blow the lid off this match fixing racket, I'm all for showing him leniency. IMO busting the entire match-fixing nexus for good is more important than cracking the whip on only three cricketers and sweeping the issue below the carpet afterwards.

He should cooperate with authorities IMHO. That can be his only saving grace.
