Two Mohammads and One Butt

If I had to bet on the nationality of the first players ever to be banned for taking money and cheating in a cricket match, then I'd have had bet on Pakistan. Why? Because it's not cricket but corruption which is their national sport.

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have been banned for 10, 7 and 5 years respectively after an ICC tribunal found them guilty of spot-fixing stemming from the Lord's Test against England last year. The sanctions against Butt and Asif have five and two years suspended, which means that the trio cannot play any official, sanctioned cricket, international or domestic, for a minimum of five years, until September 2015.

Idiots, idiots, idiots!
