http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 favours life ban for Pakistani trio – Cricket News Update
The star Australian all-rounder and vice-captain, Shane Watson, has proposed life-time banishment for the tainted Pakistani trio as he considers spot-fixing to be a heinous crime which ‘takes the game down’.
In a harsh and merciless tone, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 has churned out that the corrupt elements do not deserve to return to action as they have already challenged the integrity of the game. He opines that the current sentence is also sufficient for them to learn lesson
but the threesome should be reproved more so that other players avoid unfair practices in the future.
Talking to the media, the maverick all-rounder said, “In the end, I think a life ban is surely enough to be able to say to people that it's the wrong thing to do. It's challenging the integrity and taking
http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/248628 of cricket down. Whether it's jail, whether it's a life (playing) sentence, there's no doubt that the punishments are very severe for doing the wrong thing.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 were handed over different jail terms by a British Crown Court yesterday for their involvement in a high-level spot-fixing scam that came about last year during Pak-England Test match at Lord’s.
Butt, Amir and Asif received 30 months, one year and six months of imprisonment sentences respectively, while the architect of the controversy, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed, was jailed for 2 years and 8 months. This gruesome episode has spurred a hot wave across the cricket
world.
Watson, who is passing through a promising phase of his International cricket career, has reiterated not to even think of any corrupt act in his life as he does not want anyone to question his worth.
He stated, “For me personally, it's given me an amazing life and something I only ever dreamed of, so I would never would want to do anything that even questioned the ability for me to be able to play the game that I love so much."
The 30-year-old has represented Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in 30 Test, 140 ODI and 25 T20I matches so far. He possesses excellent averages in both batting and bowling departments.
