Isnt Danish just the guy who simply introduced Westfield to the illegal bookmakers. I don't think there is any evidence of him doing any spot fixing yet.
Acting as an agent is an offence in cricket. Without an intermediary the offence of spot fixing would not have occurred. That so many Essex players have given his name forward, it does seem he was involved. Impossible for the police to act but probably sufficient for the ICC.
Hope and Dernbach not heard you guys comment as to why Amir got 6 months and Westfield got only 4 months?
kash it's because I don't know the answer. Maybe because the previous judge believed Amir and the others were involved in earlier fixes or that they were representing their country at the time rather than an minor county.
One thing is sure Westerfield will not get the opportunity to play cricket again. He'll be fortunate to get a job on minimum wage stacking baked beans at a supermarket. Amir will get great help and support to return to cricket.

You should ban this sport forever.. starting from 5 day match.
I guess your right hope and i guess doing the crime in an international match is more serious as its in the global scale compared to a county match.
kash whatever the rights and wrongs it's a sad business for everyone. I think it's the middle men who deserve the greater punishment.
