Re: Spot-fixing trial begins in London/ Three further Pakistani players named.

There really is no direct evidence against both Butt and Asif. Amir and Majeed did not testify in the court. The video recording of Majeed is not a statement under oath and can not be taken as entirely true. He could just be lying and boasting as a habit. I am surprised none of the defense attorney objected to the admissibility of the video as evidence against Butt and Asif (it could be used against Majeed). I am also surprised the defense attorney did not question the authenticity of the video.** There is no recorded transaction between Majeed and Butt** and Asif that proves a criminal conspiracy. I think both Asif and Butt should be acquitted.

However, not enough evidence for criminal conviction does not mean these guys are innocent and there is enough circumstantial and heresay evidence to ban them by ICC.

Didn’t they use marked notes?
