It'll be interesting to see how they dance around this in order to be sensitive and not offend anybody.

 

Hopefully they won't.

 

Butt, Asif and Amir should have lifetime bans for a start.

 

An actial lifetime ban or a Pakistan lifetime ban...ie 3 months or so! ;)

 

Seriously though, they have to be out and out for good or the game is leaving itself open to ridicule. Its not just this series either, you've already got Ponting saying he has massive doubts over their wins against Pakistan in Australia recently and Hauritz gutted that his match winning bowling effort is now looking discredited, through no fault of his own.

They've lost from an invincible position against the aussies, they lost games to Bangladesh which resulted in them getting Test status (which should never have happened), they went from worst than shit in the first two Tests to walloping us in the third. Thinking about all the dropped catches and ridiculous batting in this series, than now looks suspicious. Who is to say at lunch on Friday they didn't decide to bowl away from the stumps at 80% to let Trott and Broad turn the match round completely? They can't play games in their own country due to security risks and now no-one will want to host them because their integrity is shot.

I did chuckle when I read that Asif may receive his second lifetime ban. ;)

I'd be sad if Amir gets a lifetime ban, he's a young lad and a terrific talent who's plainly been led astray by the older pro's. The rest of the twats can get a real lifetime ban imo, they should know better especially Butt and Asif. The whole thing's disgraceful and Pakistan should face a period out of all forms of the international game to put their house in order.

Hard to see where Pakistan go now. No one will play them in Pakistan, no one will want to play them at home as the integrity of their performances will be highly questionable and places will be unwilling to let them use their grounds so they can host 'home' series (like the one against Australia earlier in the summer) as the attendances were so disappointing.
