Salman Butt has apparently been contracted to do commentary for Channel Five Pakistan at the WC. I kid you not.

Reckon his predictions as to the immediate course the game is about to take will be very incisive.

I read this in the paper this morning. I had to make sure it wasn't April 1. Still struggling to believe it.

If we can have the most corrupt president in the world don't be surprised if we can have salman butt as a commentator.

News of the World falls. Now what would be the legitimacy of their evidence with the newly unfolding saga? Are Pakistani's going to jump on the occasion and file an appeal?

Anyone who knows about the situation.

Seems a sensible step to consider. I don't think it would get them anywhere though. They were found guilty by a judicial panel that was quite independent of the filth at the NOTW, and I doubt the panel was under the illusion that the NOTW were paragons of virtue even then.

Yeah, I don't think the NOTW had much evidence to begin with, but since then it's gone through all the proper channels - police, courts, etc - so I doubt the prosecution was relying on what the paper had to say by the end.
