I agree with you. People can learn from their own mistakes and be better people. It's unfair not to give give a second chance.

Yeah, that's why we let murderers off if it's their first time.

Seriously, these guys have done the worst thing that any cricketer can do. They need to be banned.

Punishment's aim should not be revenge on part of the state it should be to make someone a better person. you have the right to disagree but my thinking is different about what should be the goal of any punishment.

It's not necessarily revenge, but justice. They've effectively committed the worst offense in cricket and need to be punished accordingly. Furthermore, it's also the importance of setting precedent as well.

don't equate this to murder...man's love for money is not same as man's love for killing.

They're still equally bad offences under the respective laws.

Adultery (supposed) is punishable in Saudi by being pelt stones on to death..

Shall we change the tone and actually talk about the T20I coming up now since well, there's blomming 5 topics about the scandal?

Speaking of the T20I, England I think are going to go right at them and wreck them, then precede to turn them over so they can wreck them on the other side. I think England's going to prove why they won the T20 WC today and in emphatic fashion.

I wouldn't get too confident...

...but, yeah, anything other than an England win seems difficult to predict...

 

[taipan1]

It's all over. England won. Didn't you read News of the World this morning?

Lol gradually becoming a fan of Stuart Broad over the past few days. Chic has a sense of humor tstl. Going to ask him how he deals with the gay jokes on his twitter.

 

[GIMH]

You do realise thats not Broady, don't you? Its just some gay fanboy. Pretty funny though.

It's raining in Cardiff.

Latest gem of wisdom to come out of the Pakistan camp. The players get their match fee in cash from the PCB, Apparently lots of the players come from rural communities with no access to a bank.

I guess if you were the suspicious type you could think of a different reason for dealing in cash?

 

[Spark]

Oh wow... so you can fly all around the world and stay in well-to-do hotels, but dear me it's much too highbrow to have a bank account. Not to mention that even if you don't have a bank account, it's still pretty epic moronic to be lugging about bags of cash everywhere you go.

 

[zaremba]

What's harder to explain is how the numbers on the bank notes given by the NOTW to Majeed match the numbers on the notes found in the players' possession.

 

[Shri]

Do they? Has it been confimed?

 

[zaremba]

No but the BBC is reporting it.
