I think what I have seen and heard in Salman Butt’s press conference is more than enough. Unfortunately in real world you don’t always get hard facts in all the cases in the court..in that case you have to consider the intangibles.

You have been watching cricket for 20 odd years, out of all people here you should know better that the No balls bowled by Amir don’t look unintentional. The runout missed by Kamran (other video) is questionable…these are intangibles only cricketers can tell..Imran Khan and Ramiz would have been hesitant in making the remarks they made if they were thinking like you..but they know cricket and didn’t hide behind the technicalities of the legal proceedings.

If you were representing in a jury, god help the victim because you wouldn’t have a clue about body language and the words used by the culprit. Salman Butt should have said a BIG NO when he was asked if the allegations are true (that is what the whole nation wanted), instead he got all technical like you and said prove it. That’s a shame for him and people whom he betrayed.

I agree with you in general, our players may get away because of technicalities from law/ICC. You should also remember the Hansie Cronje saga though, him and SA board kept saying he is innocent until much later when he admitted. Though Salman Butt did the opposite (did not deny it). Had he denied it bluntly many people wouldn’t have believed him still.
