Certainly, there are things that must have gone on that we don’t know about. In general, I think the punishments needed to be harsh for our players to be taught a lesson. I am not certainly not saying that the PCB are angels themselves, but that is a separate issue. I think the door has certainly been left open for Yousuf and Younis as they didn’t put a time period on their ban. <strong>Vick</strong> I think the player power needed to be addressed. It is just sod’s law that the current PCB had to do it but that’s the way it is. They now need to do the honourable thing and clear off themselves. I’m out of camera shot in the photo Vick….whip in hand. I'm glad you guys missed me, but I'm back though and I brought the whip with me :) Maz/Wasim

With the administration already in doldrums, the players too cannot be forming internal groups and bicker on. It will take a while to bounce back, but there will be a newer bunch of players, hungry and willing to just play THE GAME on the field rather than in the dressing room. Stani where are you dude? Have you too lined up in the picture (just not in the frame) and gotten ready for your whipping? Didn't know you're into that sorta stuff man :-) Quite a shocker, but Like Stani said, it had to be done.

Also I seriously believe that they have left a door open for all the banned players. The fines will also get revoked through appeals. Younis has only been punished because he refused to become a puppet in this corrupt set up otherwise his stance has been completely vindicated through this inquiry. They took the side of Players at that time for their own vested interests. What were those vested interests is not hard to figure out, through out the last two years the team has been accused for match fixing and internal bickering but PCB continued with the same group of players just kept on shuffling them. What was hampering them from nipping the evil in the bud? Doesn't it reflect their complete negligence? I think they have kept all the proceedings secret just to cover up their own role. Also if I remember correctly 7-9 players went to Butt against Younis, and now it is clear that they all took oath not to let Younis succeed, why only a few are getting punished? I think justcie has been served on the players but who will serve justice on the administrators.

I can't believe this foul play. On Malik and Rana it is deserving. Afridi has already served a 2 match ban , but is still fined nevertheless. Good in the sense that he would have thoroughly learnt his lesson, but bad in the sense that it was only a minor offence and the ICC have already dealt with him. The Akmals deserve what they got, but Umar should have been fined much more worse and severely as he is young and thereby would have understood how diabolic the action he undertook was and thereby will most hopefully refrain from getting anywhere that level of indiscipline in the long term future. He needs to taste the bitterness of the bans otherwise we might need another dirty Akhtar in prospectus. Another dark day for Pakistan cricket and its supporters. This happens too frequently. The captaincy fiasco is next, so many twists and turns since the 07WC in the Caribbean for the position, Malik then YK then Afridi for T20 then MoYo then Malik again. Misbah would be my choice preferably now following this diabolical penalising circumstance. But, with the excepting of YK and MoYo I more or less agree to the enforced bans. Surely we want a clean team at the end of the day who are playing for national pride, personal willingness and hope, don't we ? Hopefully , following these bans we can move on swiftly.

In one way I feel its harsh and in another way I feel maybe its time PCB took some extreme steps to ensure players behave themselves and play for the country. Must say though, Moyo and Yoyo will be thoroughly missed in the Pakistan test team - they were the best test batsmen. Regarding the other bans, i guess those were expected - regarding shoaib malik etc. I am curious to see if all these bans actually stay or they are overturned in the near future.
