Good day to you. Today's the last day in "the" ICC hearing to determine Mohammed Amir, Mohammed Asif and Salman Butt's guilt or innocence in the spot-fixing scandal which erupted in September, 2010.
The three men are accused of deliberately bowling 3 no-balls in a spot-betting shenanigan at Lord's in England. If found guilty, this could mean the end of all three men's careers.
But take the word "men" with a grain of salt: Mohammed Amir, the incredibly talented pace bowler, is only 19. He's just a kid. If he's found guilty, I hope he is not given a life ban; he had his entire career ahead of him. And we all make stupid mistakes when we're teenagers. To keep things in perspective, he allegedly bowled a no-ball on purpose so that illegal book-makers could make a profit. Yes it's corrupt, and if guilty he should be punished, perhaps severely, but COME ON. Not a life ban. It's not like he robbed a bank or punched your Mum.
So no cooking for today. I'm anxious to hear the outcome of this hearing. Hopefully we'll see the Kid back in cricket soon.
