Am I missing something? How will they help him win any more than other people?

Steds (TIC) asked for the jury to be the defence team.

Because they're his crack defence team.

(I assume that means they were on crack when they agreed to defend him)

Well what why would a trial be needed if he was indicating that he was going to choose leaving the CW Cricket system.

Why was Ed Giddins tried and convicted when he'd already announced his retirement?

That somes up how weak his defence team is...

Let's face it, it's the only way you're going to win isn't it?

My God!!!! It was a joke, hence the

Out of interest, how many other Cricket Boards or even International Sporting Federations ever use judge/jury trials to decide anything pertaining to sporting matters?

 

[Loony BoB]

I'd assume all players that are banned for one reason or another are put on trial, including Hanse and Warne.

EDIT: Although I'm not sure it would be done by a regular judge/jury but more so some kind of board member or governing sports group would decide, however they would still decide via a fair trial. You have to keep in mind that 'fair' doesn't mean 'has a 50% chance of winning' - it can be a formality even when someone admits to their crime before the trial goes ahead.

For reference, the Daily Blast article that kicked everything back off again:

You'd rather the CWBCC (which has been accused of conspiracy and the like) judge the matter instead of impartial observers taking the facts of boths sides into account? Rhetorical no doubt.

If the trial was held back then, when the evidence was fresh in everyones minds, this situation would never of occured i guess?

And the point of a trial then when he said he was leaving...?

 

[Mr. P]

And the point of a trial then when he said he was leaving...?

We could have officially banned him forever when found guilty, preventing the many out-of-retirements...

 

[marc71178]

And the point of a trial then when he said he was leaving...?

The crime still existed - and how many times does it have to be pointed to the precedences in modern sport?

 

[age_master]

whats your point, whats done is done, complaining aint gonna change anything.

at the time he said he was leaving so there seemed no point - didn't hear you complaining than did we??? so dont complain now.
