    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    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...

    Pakistan Cricket news/views

    Hey Joe, teach me how to magically embed tweets like you did with the Nasir account. So fancy, I need to learn.

    Pakistan Cricket news/views

    There's a Misbah parody account that's pretty funny as well. Though the Nasir one is definitely a class above.

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    Jono, when did I ever say that I'm not understanding of people who don't want him back? I understand their view, respect it even. I just don't agree with it. This is a cricket board where we debate topics. I'm allowed to have a different opinion from you and others aren't I? I can turn...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    I was responding to the argument by OS that the integrity of the game would somehow be destroyed if Amir is allowed to come back. His exact words were "Him getting back into the Pakistan team will make the game a joke...". I contend that's bullocks. I don't see why my reasoning is odd...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    You think all the fixers were caught? The ICC just skimmed the surface, at least when it comes to Pakistan. So most got away with it and had long and storied careers. People kept "wondering" about them, but they played on anyway. At least in this case, Amir was caught and served his...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    The integrity of the sport will survive. Forget spot fixing, cricket has survived match fixing in the past. Let's not overreact. Here's a wager I'll make: Even with Amir back in the sport, people will continue to watch cricket. Yes, even Pakistani matches. They may "wonder" every time he...

    Will Pakistan win their first ever WC match against India?

    Forget India, we will most likely lost to Ireland and Zimbabwe. UAE will give us a close match as well. This is the worst Pakistani side to enter the WC in my lifetime.

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    That's right, he's a fixer. Therefore, unlike swearing at an umpire, he didn't just merely get fined or suspended for a match. He went to prison and was suspended for 5 years. He didn't get off lightly. Those that ridicule the punishment he served are taking the prison aspect very lightly...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    The above is contradictory, no? Everyone apparently only wants to give him a chance because he's an exceptional talent. Yet, they don't want to do the same for Asif, even though he was also an exceptional talent. Could it be that the difference here is that this was Amir's first offense, and...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    Well than it's good for him that the courts have an established procedure on how to handle these cases and don't go by the arbitrary sense of justice of the general public. As others have stated, he's done the time and as per the rules established by his profession, is eligible to come back...

    Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

    ***Begin off-topic rant*** Ah the elitism of cricket fans never fails to astound me. Not picking on you in particular OS, but this sort of posting just irks the hell out of me. I don't deny that you must have the physical ability, but if that's all it took it took to become successful at...

    If it helps James, I opened the forum in IE, and saw that you last posted in the thread. When I opened the thread, I couldn't see your post. Then I opened the thread via Firefox, opened the thread, and saw your actual post. So weird.

    Yeah I'm experiencing the same thing, except that even in threads where I posted, I sometimes still can't see the latest posts.

    Why has Blocky not been banned?

    Not an appropriate topic. Rest assured, we do have a discussion going on in the mod forum regarding the posting in the NZ threads.

    Let's just leave it please. This is a very tragic event. No point in having this sort of a discussion about it here.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Nice recovery and win for Pakistan. That Afridi/Haris partnership was impressive under the circumstances.
