The ICC should have put it's foot down and it should not have been left to the PCB to decide for me. That the two players are playing international cricket right now is a bit of a farce really..

However, as ignorance is no excuse and according to the norms, I do believe Asif should have been banned for 2 years as well. Do read the full report though. It is pretty interesting.

IMO, Osman is a very level headed author and he continues the good work here, clearly explaining the case and giving credit where it is due...in this case, the PCB!!! http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/266606.html I guess that the complete transcript of the tribunal's findings would be an interesting read. Yet to do it myself... This is a quick summary of why Asif was given only a year’s ban.
