Warner = Steve Austin? Brash loudmouth who gets drunk and should really be hated everywhere for his insensitivity and dickishness, yet is still somehow liked?

ABdV = John Cena? Always wins clean, also has a **** music career?

Well, Punk and KP are similar but if anything my love for Punk has only increased after he's left. Not so for KP.

Because he has the opportunity to change his and his family's future. Not every Pakistani criminal has that opportunity. It would be nice if they did have the means and skills to do so but that is how it is.
Yes, and he had this opportunity 5 years ago - why does he deserve a 2nd chance when he's ****ed up the first one so bad?

Fmd. Amir couldnt even admit to it without lying through his teeth first. So sick of hearing this bull**** about his family being poor and him needing a second chance to help them.

Tell your story walking and **** off out of my game.

Limited overs Younis = Kane, done sweet **** all of worth in the last few decades but somehow featured incredibly prominently in 2015.


Daniel Bryan = Steven Smith, the peoples champion who has proved all the boys in the office wrong who wrote him off a few years ago?

Yeah that's why I have zero sympathy for him. People keep talking about giving him another chance, but that was his second chance. If he'd come out and admitted what he'd done immediately when it was plain as day what he'd done, then I'd see the case for being slightly more lenient. But the cheat lied and blew his chance.

See, I only slightly agree with this. I get what you are saying. But, I think its understandable for someone to be like "how can you want him back? He hurt the game so much!", even if that isn't right in your mind. However conversely I can't see how anyone can actually argue against someone saying they don't want him back though. It should be like "yeah I can see why you think that, even if I disagree".

I get your frustration at the "talent" point you raised, because that's attacking your reasons for your view. But otherwise, I don't think anyone on a cricket message board who doesn't want Amir back should be questioned really. It is just such a natural feeling to have.
I'm still confused about what your contention with me is though. As I stated, I never said that I don't understand why someone would oppose Amir's return. I'm just presenting an opposing view. Are you saying that people shouldn't even present a case for Amir's return because the other side's view is simply the right one? If so, I respectfully disagree. I understand their view, but I have my own and I don't think it's unreasonable to present that viewpoint.

agreed

and his nautanki mother came up on TV saying it was a conspiracy against Pakistan. What a ****ed up corrupt family.

Nah. he's just saying you're doing a ****house job of it.
