I'm no fan of Sreesanth and his antics; even if its true,(I don't know) he was involved in match fixing, how can it be possible for him to act alone? This sounds like Oswald and Kenndy assassination. If there is match fixing it has to be with involvement of players, officials and umpires. Where is/are rest of the piece(s)? Is Meyaapan and Srini involved? It has to be, if Sreesanth is a culprit? This looks like they have to have a patsy and they found it in Sreesanth.
Life time ban is drastic, even though it sets an example for the rest.A lesser penalty of limited suspension and fine would have been more appropriate.
good decision to ban sreesanth n ankit chavan for life. even chandila deserves a life ban.
but surprised to know that even sidhharth trivedi is given 1 year ban. isnt it surprising that trivedi was the one who came out openly to name the real culprit who had offered him the lucrative deal which he didnt succumb to accept.
instead of hailing trivedi for his honesty to reject their ugly offer n to support investigation against the criminal bookies/players nexus, he is given a one year ban for what reasons? that he didnt inform the bcci abt the ongoing mischief? what do u think, wud bcci hv taken any concrete steps? bcci presided by the corrupt goon srini hasnt done anything against the chenai or rr team owners? what rahul dravid hv done, when he knew of the murky behaviours of his players?
i think trivedi has been penalised for submitting proofs of fixing to the police. sad to know this. that shows bcci is more corrupt at the top then at the bottom.
