will you still watch pakistan games if the accused pak players beat the charges?

When Herschelle "6 month ban" Gibbs was hitting 175 off 111 balls to win that ODI in Joburg, I made a point of turning away from the TV in protest at him "beating the charge". I imagine all the rest of you are the same

Nah, just that **** flem

ok.

 

[The Baconator]

It depends how they "beat the charges". If they're able to come up with convincing evidence as to their innocence, sure. If their case mirrors that of Rod Blagojevich, no.

Yeah, this, although them coming up with convincing evidence of their innocence seems pretty unlikely. Also, it's not hard to see Pakistan being resoundingly beaten in these ODIs, meaning they're not much worth watching anyway.

Of course and so will all other Pakistan fans. Like driving slowly by a car accident, part of you hopes to see that someone's brains have fallen out and when you do see that, you're sick and horrified but now you've got a great convo starter for later at the pub.

Pakistan cricket, if absolutely nothing else, is fantastic entertainment for cricketing or non-cricketing reasons.

We only usually get the Pakistan series in England and Aussie (and series involving NZ obv.) aired in NZ, but I have no respect for this Pakistan side anymore, regardless of how the court cases and other hearings pan out, so even if the tour later this year goes ahead, I won't be watching. I am completely sick to death of the game I love constantly being undermined by greedy players, greedy peripheral participants and greedy administrators. At this stage, there is a massive, undeniable cancer on the game of cricket in the form of match-and-spot-fixing, and until there is a strong message sent, the game on the international stage is utterly compromised. And I don't want to be a part of that. Even the Ashes this year may just be too much of an ask for me.

Would have voted yes except there's too much truth in the third option lol.

Of course I'd watch. Will be interesting to see what new way they find to get themselves into trouble.

 

[outbreak]

I'll watch but i'll no long be supporting them ever. I was hoping under Salman Butt they would become a decent team and lose the controversy by keeping the trouble makers out and playing a young squad. Now i will be watching hoping to see them get pumped and maybe the odd bouncer rearing up and hitting afew choice players if they get off lightly after being proven guilty. I can't think too much about if evidence clears them as so much has come up now that i don't see how they will be proven innocent.
