Yeah, the best thing that could happen is life bans. Anything less and players will know they can get away with it again in the future. They say the 2nd Test against Australia was fixed, aswell as the 1st of this series at Trent Bridge.
Jeff Lawson was saying Pakistan can't be banned from playing as it would ruin cricket in the Country, well letting them continue could well ruin the game of cricket for everyone else. Will people go and watch their team against Pakistan if they think they are watching a sham? It was so strange the silence and morbid atmosphere at Lords on Sunday, it was like the sole of the game wasn't there with this Pakistan team playing. Hearing Strauss you could see how it made the victory feel pretty hollow, the game that should of been remembered for he brilliant batting of Trott and Broad is now remembered for ugly reasons. Ricky Ponting said that come back win in January was one of the best moments of his career and I myself enjoyed watching that game, to think the result was probably fixed is such a shame.
