Don't see why not, but think they will avoid doing that.
The PCB have clearly gone a long way to "cleaning up" their act this past year,
especially with the appointment of Misbah ul Haq as captain - and I can't see the calm
Misbah bowng to the 'pressure' of having Amir back in the team.

Though I might be wrong of course ........................!

Don't see why not...

The five year ban from all cricket might prove a hinderance.

Ah.... I thought the 5 year ban was only levied against the other two and that Amir was free to play on his return....

All three, pretty sure.

Amir's appealing.

surely i jest

yes i do

amir has 5 years. asif has 7 with 2 suspended. butt has 10 with 5 suspended. so all have 5 basically

You gone off women?

I wondered if he just had a hankering for jailbird meat.

I likes them young. And corruptible.

"Amir anytime ya need me", he said.




Yep, that one there is my coat.

5 days for Asif

"Salman Butt, the former Pakistan captain who was convicted of spot-fixing, is travelling back to Pakistan after being released from prison seven months into his 30 month sentence, his lawyers have confirmed.

Butt's release under the government's early release scheme for foreign nationals means he has been formally deported from the UK and cannot return for 10 years. He is due to arrive back in Pakistan late on Thursday."

A bit of a joke, really. Is that the same scheme that they were trying to implement with that radical Islamist Abu Qatada?

The message basically is- If you're foreign and commit a crime in Britain, you can pretty much get away with it.

Short stretch for Butt

And there I was thinking that I should follow local laws as a tourist.

Aye, I agree. I mean I'm not a hardline sort of person... was shocked that he'd got a big sentence(as can be seen in this thread) but once he's got the sentence make the qunt serve it!!!!!

It sends out all of the wrong messages.

I learnt that apparently peeps can get 90% of their sentence reduced in Engerland if (a) they've pled guilty/ not contested a guilt verdict (not sure which) and (b) they're from furrin shores. No, seriously.
.

Now for that drugs fuelled rape and murder spree in London.

Will masturbating on the lawns of Buckingham palace at the end of it give me bonus points with the Law?

You're foreign. You could masturbate and ejaculate in her Majesty's face, strangle her to death, and use your own semen to write a confession on the wall of Buckingham Palace, and they'd let you go home after 6-8 months.

Hell, even the LOCKERBIE BOMBER was allowed to go back to Libya with a sick note.

Aye, whereas a gentleman friend of mine got 6 months fully served for knocking out a mugger who pulled a knife on him. Good old times. Good, good old British justice times.

Salman looks in terrible shape!

So does the screenshot

Someone appears to be holding a guy's head in his hands on the left. Brutal.

what's his future hold? ... you wonder
