Mohammed Amir cleared to return with immediate effect

[mr_mister]

Yeah, let's laugh at a recent former Test cricketer's opinions who actually played in the match, rather then us idjits on messageboards.

In the end I disagree with him, but to just ridicule him because he differs from you is pretty pathetic. I mean I've done similar with Piers Morgan, but that's because he's not a cricketer, and has proven again and again to be a despicable human-being, I hated him before I even knew he was into cricket.

Take your agenda elsewhere pal. My post was solely made because I think Swann's a fool based on years of reading his Twitter. Cricketer or no cricketer

Oh thanks for calling me pal, I find it so hard to make friends

 

[mr_mister]

Thanks for calling me pathetic based off an offhand remark. Real rational. You read way too much into it

amir lied in court and broke the rules of his ban by playing cricket during it.

if he was a 30 year old batsman with a test average in the mid thirties all of you would be throwing the book at him, even if he still had sympathetic factors like depression and came clean/actively helped law enforcement catch other criminals.

but he's pretty to watch so it's ok. the faisal iqbal post said everything.

i can't think of a better candidate to take strike to mitchell johnson at the WACA.

Yeah and the only reason you want him banned is because you're afraid that Pakistan will beat us with him in the team. That's right, I can make totally baseless and stupid assertions about your motivations as well.

Amir should be forgiven now and ICC said that he has helped in ACSU during his ban so he should be allowed to return and for that Iqbal spat Its a desi thing that they always target the victims

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I actually with Phlegm in terms of wanting him banned, but it's always a bit dire when you tell a whole group of other people that their opinions are motivated by something shallow or self-serving. It ceases to be a real exchange of ideas then. Sometimes people disagree with you because they see an issue differently and not because they're all biased or naive ****wits.

only thing i can think of. basically from what im reading here age is a "oh you're forgiven" reason but anything else? nah.

and i don't agree with it.

edit: yeah fine i was a dick, but the faisal thing got my goat. faisal sucks and has connections so he's a worse person than amir was unbelievable. such talent bias.

 

[Bahnz]

Then you're not seriously engaging with any of the arguments put forward by the anti-ban crowd, and your contribution to the thread is pointless.

Agree that the Faisal issue is annoying whatabouttery and of zero relevance to this thread.

 

[Flem274*]

you could say that for my contributions to all threads tbf

fine, putting aside the faisal thing and me being a dick to people I suspect just like his awesome bowling, amir's age is a factor for feeling sad but because he knew what he was doing was wrong due to ICC education and the usual human golden rule "don't be a dick" and made life difficult for law enforcement after being caught and then got caught playing cricket after his ban, there should still be no mercy and he is free to redeem himself away from cricket.

 

[Bahnz]

Get that that's your opinion. Don't agree that age and inexperience shouldn't be a mitigating factor (one of several), but happy to let things lie as I've said everything I've had to say on this issue several times already.

 

[Compton]

Don't see how anyone can act as if nothing happened. It was horrible and ruined an otherwise enjoyable series.

He has served his time though, and shouldn't be left out based on this if the team are happy to have him back.

Is there a way to make this a pinned post on CC?
