Tbh, I would love to see him get hit for six every ball.Asif only deserved a six-month ban IMO, so I hope he gets owned for a few months and then returns to world-class status.
Tbh, I would love to see Asif bowl brilliantly here.

What? why? The minimum ban for drugs is two years...how can he only deserve six months?Asif only deserved a six-month ban IMO, so I hope he gets owned for a few months and then returns to world-class status.

Haha, I wasn't aware of that. I can make my own rules, can't I?
I would tell you my reasoning but I don't want to start another debate about that issue. Cheers.

I'd love to see him get hit by a stray tinny thrown from the crowd, whatever it does to our reputation.. I'd pin him if I was at the ground

Whatever, he's a fantastic player and I couldn't care less about it. The PCB should have punished him, but that just shows the incompetency of the PCB (Still better than BCCI, who don't even test their players), and doesn't reflect on the player (that he didn't get banned, not that he cheated).

That's frankly a ridiculous statement. Here you are bashing the two because you feel they cheated, broke the rules, and got away with it. I can understand your anger as it pertains to that. However, to then advocate harm on them via an unruly crowd (who also would be breaking the rules by the way) reeks of hypocrisy. If you are going to take a moral stand on an issue, please be consistent, even to the other side. Lastly, don't forget that this is only a game. You would be willing to lose respect for your country's reputation by harming visiting players just so you can administer mob justice?? That amazes me. I am not proud of these two players. I agree with you that they should have stayed banned. However, let's not lose perspective and let emotions get the better of us.

No, I am not bias and racist. I have respect for a lot of Pakistani Cricketers, like Yousuf, Younis, Inzi, Danish, Gul. But I have no respect for cheaters.

I hate them too. I like the team, they are really talented. But I hate PCB and Asif and Akthar .

Who else do you hate in cricket? I assume you hate Julius Peppers, Shawn Merriman, and about 60% of the other NFL players too?

Dude I wouldn't hate them if they had got a fair ban. But they are cheats, who got away with **** they did because their Cricket Board is corrupted and doesn't serve justice.

I wouldn't do it, but I'd think about it.. So whats worse, some buffoon such as myself destroying the SA crowds reputation by lobbing a tinny at Asif, or two bowlers on performance enhancing drugs doing as much damage to the whole sports credibility as the match fixing scandal?

But they did the same thing that those other players did. The difference was that the organization reacted differently, not the players. In each case, the players are equally guilty. From the players perspective, how is it different?

Overreaction, don't you think? It's more like ball tampering or claiming a catch as a fielder when you dropped it. Meaning, breaking the rules to give yourself an advantage.

If you do hurl something at them, what moral right do you have to criticize them? They broke a rule and so would you. They brought disrepute to the game and their country, and so would you. As for your question about what's worse, I think if it became common and accepted practice for crowds to become violent against players, it would cause far greater damage then two players taking steroids. Both are offenses, but the ramifications of visiting players (even cheats if you will) being abused by the crowd are far more serious than whatever disrepute those said players caused to the game.

Nah not really, I'm absolutely foaming that two of the leading lights in what is a good team to tour South Africa are full on cheats before they even step on the field.. Anyway I've made my point and don't really want to labour it any more than I have done..
