Re: Aamir to be removed from ICC Awards nominations list
If convicted, Aamer w'd certainly be guilty of bringing the game into disrepute but cheat is a wrong word here. There is no evidence that he tampered with the ball or used underhand means to get wickets.
Deliberately overstepping or bowling no-balls on demand w'd have achieved the opposite if anything
I did not use the word CHEAT in the sense that he cheated when getting wks. They were all pure class obviously. I meant cheat as in a dishonest player.
Re: Aamir to be removed from ICC Awards nominations list
You're right on all those accounts, but he didn't take that many wickets because of corruption, but despite it. This means that he was a better bowler than everyone else during the past year, and hence deserves the award if the sole criteria of the award the number of wickets.
He did perform brilliantly and I was rooting for him too. I am just saying that a dishonest player who defiles the game like he did should not receive any kind of cricketing award.
