Mohammad Amir caught playing village cricket

With the dust barely settled on his five-year suspension sentence on charges of match-fixing, talented young Pakistan pace bowler has got into trouble for playing a game of village cricket to keep his eye in.

Representing Addington 1743 CC, he opened the batting and bowling, scoring 60 and taking 4-9 off 7 overs, and helping his team to a comprehensive victory over St Luke's CC. And he didn't even have to pay his match fee.

The ICC are unlikely to be amused, however, and have already opened an investigation into the incident.

The scorecard does not record who bowled the one no-ball of St Lukes' innings: highly suspicious, but I doubt there's a huge amount of betting on a game between Addington and St Lukes!!
I'll watch out for anyone that looks anything like him playing cricket on the beach down here in Devon.

It's a shame for such a young cricketer to be banned from what looked like a promising career in test cricket - but a ban is a ban, and if he is stupid enough to think that a "Surrey LEAGUE" game is a friendly then he deserves all that he gets. Unfortunately that will be probably nothing, the ICC will be too busy investigating window damage.

Good grief, unemployment must be really starting to bite if you're back to posting on Cricket Burble again!
