What about the part he went along with the undercover reporters' plan because he had felt "threatened"? I guess he can still appeal against it, unless he was lying in self defence. btw I cant digest this punishment with the figure, "10 years" bann also. It seems very less to me; if BCB is following ICC's anti-corruption code & conduct, imo it should be adviced for lifetime bann with imprisonment. c'mon, we aint punishing a mare drug dealer or spot fixer here, its an Umpire!, a sacred position equal to a supreme Judge in an on-game duration. A huge amount of trust issue & national image related with it.
