England vs Pakistan

[Le Chef]

I heard on the radio one of the players lockers was found to have "marked" cash in it

[Le Chef]

Here we go

Cash used in the cricket betting scandal is understood to have been found in the belongings of the Pakistani team captain, the Daily Mail has learned.
Scotland Yard officers are to question Salman Butt today over how marked notes were discovered in police searches of his hotel room and his locker at Lord’s.

Absolutely fantastic game of cricket today, proper fast and furious one day action. Despite Strauss being the flukiest player in the world at the moment and England getting alot of lucky umpiring decisions lately Pak have still levelled the series at 2-2.

The best part for me though was Afridi walking off the pitch after victory shouting 'Ab respect karoh penchoode'

Gaandoo.

Think the whole game needs to take a step back, and possibly have a player amnesty so they can root stuff out. I know the England allegations sound ridiculous, but what if there true. What if Butt wasn't mental and was telling the truth

No chance. Butt is probably in on it as well.

The biggest problem with Pakistan has been the players/staff/board talking before engaging their brains. This guy Butt is a clown and is looking after No.1 by making those claims.

As I have said before, get rid of the whole PCB and start again with a new Board appointed by and aided by the ICC.

Taking the ****ing piss.
It's because they are pakistanis.

I thought the jails in britain were over crowded?

Couldn't they just ban them from cricket for life.

Oh please. They committed fraud amongst other things. Next you would be saying 'its coz they iz Muslim init' [ another common denominator, they are also all men, and all have black hair too, why not use that as an excuse]

Like others have said, very harsh to give them prison sentences. Lifetime ban and being blacklisted would have been enough.

The cricket ban is for cheating at cricket. The legal sanctions are for breaking the law. You seriously expect a judge to sentence them to a cricket ban? Although I know Ian Huntley is still banned from playing frisbee and is quite bitter about it.

And that is all there is to it.

I really hope Mohammed Amir will be back in the Pakistan team one day. For the others, its over. And deservedly so.
