Re: Salman Butt ‘With God as witness, we are not involved’!
No I did not believe it. But the point is when everyone starts picking out refutable stuff instead of focusing on concrete evidence (which shouldn’t be hard to gather) then it sets a very wrong and dangerous precedent.
Unfortunately we (including media, fans,etc) have achieved mastery in this art and hence are no different than a trashy tabloid. When this practice becomes a norm, then we hear from Sun that the Oval ODI was fixed. We hear from Micky Arhtur that Pakistan may have fixed the 2007 ODI. We hear from ASCU that they are investigating Pakistan’s last 86 matches. and then we have our local channels mainly GEO doing their own third class journalism. All this bull$hit is backed by no hard evidence and the result is damaging Pakistan’s already trainted and tarnished image and I am now sick and tired of this crap.
And then among the fans we have this George Bush mindset that either you are with us or against us. A person like me, who all along has been saying that the trio if proven guilty should not only get a life ban but must be sent to jail in Pakistan on treason charges, is labelled immature or a blind patriot. All I am asking is to separate facts from fantasy when talk about controversies.
Don’t know if ZH Brigade has invaded GS but definitely Bush Brigade has…
