Spot Fixing Scandal Thread: The Legend Continues

[sami ullah khan]

Those buffoons can not hoodwink the court. I am sure they will get penalized.

 

[shravi]

I am sure they have each contradicted themselves within this trial and spanning the entire saga about a hundred times each. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.

And Imran Khan supports Butt. What a shame!!!

And Imran Khan supports Butt. What a shame!!!

No he doesn't!
He just confirmed that Butt did use to call him and discuss about the strategies for the England Tour.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Imran would never support scum like Butt. He only confirmed what Butt talked to him about.

 

[Adarsh]

Guilty as charged ! Booya.

 

[Gurjot95]

Ameer???

 

[Sureshot]

He'd already pleaded guilty.

Sentencing should be soon, possibly by end of today, almost certainly by the end of the week. I'm expecting custodial for Butt and Asif. They can face a maximum of 9 years in jail. Doubt it'd be that long, but a prison sentence is a very real possibility.

The system works

Jury finds Salman Butt and Mohammed Asif guilty of spot-fixing, with Butt facing up to seven years in jail.

And his wife just gave birth to his second child.

Who would have thought 'playing (with) cricket' would be this costly. Too harsh!

 

[Gaurav_7]

Too harsh? You're too kind, maybe. They cheated, cheated whole of the country!

Hmm..How will you react if someone betrays yours country? Give him dinner in 5 star Restaurant?

Deserved punishment. So I am not aware of Amir story. Did he too got similar punishment or just 2 years ban?

 

[BKB1991]

I dont know what are the rules regarding their criminal liability, but the ban ICC has given them is fair.

 

[Addy]

Banning from Cricket was okishh but this is too much. I feel for their family.
