POTW: Junaids

Congratulations to @Junaids for his excellent and thought-provoking post related to the The Salman Butt connection to Pakistan cricket which was revived again recently when he was appointed consultant to the Chief Selector but then removed due to public out roar connected to his past.

Making sense of the Salman Butt debate

I have been profoundly surprised by the oversimplification of the debate in recent days, and by the consistent failure to ask the questions that have to be answered in order to formulate a coherent response. The relevant questions are: 1. What actually happened in 2010 with Salman Butt, Kamran...

Great post! Pakistan's fascination with individuals continues. Salman is no angel but he's paid for his crime. Unfortunately he's an easy scapegoat for a toothless organization

Congrats @Junaids.

Salman has been treated a bit unfairly as he has already got the punishment for his crimes. PCB should work on some strategy to never attract such controversies as it may hurt the individual involved.

If Salman was some great cricketing mind or game changing batsman I would have maybe felt different. But his numbers in international cricket are pretty mediocre, and whatever one may bring up about his supposed education or intelligence, he was stupid enough to fix matches and that's very telling. I have no sympathy for him

Salman Butt should count himself lucky he didn’t see the gallows.

Nice post Junaids though.
