[silentstriker]

We need more! About six-eight more.

PS. Don't nominate Dhoni, because I won't put him on the list out of principle.

 

[Fusion]

I got every one except Azhar. I will not have any match fixers in this tournament.

Then take out Saleem Malik too.

How about Afridi then?

 

[Fusion]

Nominate AH Kardar from Pakistan. Cricinfo profile: http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/41030.html

 

[PhoenixFire]

AK Sharma was a pretty fine bat. Maybe consider him?

 

[silentstriker]

How about Afridi then?

Afridi is not Indian so I can't judge, so I'll let a Pakistani decide. But if it were upto me, I'd put him in the same category with Dhoni.

Plus that pitch incident was disgraceful.

PS. I'm kidding about Dhoni, if someone wants to nominate him, go ahead.

AK Sharma was a pretty fine bat. Maybe consider him?

Ajay Sharma was banned for life in 2000.

 

[PhoenixFire]

and....

Azharuddin was to, but he was still a fine batter.

and....

Azharuddin was to, but he was still a fine batter.

And thats why Azharduddin is not on the list.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Meh, what a load of crap. Why should it matter. They were banned, but why should that mean they aren't to be consdidered?

Because it would be an absolute disgrace to cricket and everything it stands for if they beat anyone - anyone - who played the game without fixing a match.

If it were me, I'd erase them from the recordbooks too. Azhar was the captian of India FFS. Thats an absolutely disgusting way to treat your position.

This isn't the most honest players in the Subcontinent, or the most sporting, it's the best, and they were some of the best, regardless whether they fixed a match or not.

If they fixed a match, they weren't cricket players anymore. They were pimps who used their position to whore the game out for money and broke the laws and the spirit in the most egregious way possible. Ergo, they are disqualified.

This is not really up for discussion. You are welcome to start a separate Battle of the Subcontinent with all the cheaters if you wish to.

I guess I'm not going to be able to convince you.

You have Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan in this list. All 3 have admitted to tampering with the ball at some stage in their carrers. Kick them out?

No, for the same reason I don't kick Warne (and now Akhtar/Asif) for taking steroids. They might have cheated, but ball tampering to win is a far cry from fixing a match to lose.
