You got it completely wrong I am not defend...Ankit<br /><br />You got it completely wrong I am not defending Afridi here, if you have any doubts go read my blog.<br /><br />I only differ here on two points, to implicate other players and portraying it a bigger crime than what some other players did it in the past.<br /><br />First of all both bowlers had their heads down I did't see any wicked smile, secondly did any other bowler from any other team involved in such crime got punished alongwith the main culprit? Obviously nobody tampers the ball just for the heck of it, the bowlers especially know about it and the law only punishes the person caught in the act so implicating other players makes no sense, whenever a team commits ball tampering always more than one player is involved.<br />In this case the matter was solely in Afridi's hands what was going on in his mind he has already told whether it is true or not we can only speculate about it.<br /><br />Two persons commit a murder, one pleads guilty and the other tries to claim innocence and lies through out the hearing under oath despite compelling evidence, who will get lessor punishment?Wasimhttp://www.cricketfiles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153707640015765540.post-14543308645679697422010-02-03T11:09:52.565+05:302010-02-03T11:09:52.565+05:30tri its still going to your old url...
