The ICC found that they are guilty of bowling deliberate three
non-balles, between the three of them, a Test match. This may seem not much, but the integrity of a game of international cricket has been raped - its bubble has burst - even if nothing untoward indeed happened. When Asif and Amir were bowling, they were not worn on dismissing the drummer, who shall be the essence of sport.
Section 2.1.1 is heavy, begins to capture the enormity of the offence: "fixation or devices in any way or otherwise improperly influence or being a party to any effort to fix or somehow contrive or improperly influence the outcome of progress, conduct or any other aspect of an international match or event of the ICC."
Accordingly, in bald terms of legal non-jargon, the les trois three fixed or improperly influenced the progress of the fourth test between England and Pakistan at Lord's.
A follower of cricket, if an outsider, which is a serious offence as prescribed sentences suggest: a minimum prohibition of five years and a maximum of life.
Butt, also acknowledged guilty under section 2.4.2: "Failing to fight corruption and unity of security (without undue delay) full details of approaches or invitations to participate in lead." that would amount to a breach of the code of the fight against corruption
Sanctions can vary from one year to five years.
However, the effect that those sentences will have on the rest of the world of cricket must be regarded by the ICC, if not by the tribunal of three men.
Deterrent effect, in my opinion, for those already involved in fake matches, will be not greater than zero.
There is so much smoke - rumours of spot - and matches rigged - circulating in world cricket it is very probable that he is without fire. And those already committed to watching phrases found in Doha and work on retaliation, that they will be facing to stop match-fix underworld are far worse than the five year prohibition.
The result - and the deterrent effect on other players of cricket - might be very different if the tribunal had been given more evidence than that produced by the news of the world in relation to the oval and Tests of the Lord.
For example, if the ACSU had provided evidence on the two games that Mazhar Majeed claimed in the news of the scam in the world have been fixed: the Sydney Test between Pakistan and the Australia in January 2010 and the Asian Cup corresponding between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Dambulla later in the year.
A former player of Pakistan told by one of the Pakistan players involved in the second of these games of a manifest violation of the Code of conduct of the ICC.
The former player of Pakistan rang hotline ACSU with this information and provided his telephone number - and more than four months later, so it was confirmed last night, it has not been contacted. How unprofessional is it?
It is generally the same formal investigations: they lift the lid a little, punishing a couple of transgressors and then close the once again, and everything continues as before. The ICC do not have jurisdiction on the tribunal of three men, but they do so on the ACSU.
Overall, it is a good day in Doha for three players – because they had already been recognized guilty of the most serious offence of gaming, and their sentences could be reduced on appeal.
It might turn out no step to have been a good day for international cricket.
