That report says it was a friendly but the scorecard says league match?

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Surely he should know that his ban extends to all cricket and cricket-related activity.  He can't rock up and play in a friendly game.  Naivety and youth can only be used as an excuse for so long.  He is an enormous talent, but unfortunately will have to face the consequences.

they may well add the 2 years suspended on ,so instead 0f 5 years with 2 suspended he ends up with a 7 year ban. He must have known it was a league match or else he has been very very badly advised.I personally think the club is totally at fault,they should be thrown out of the Surrey League.
I dont believe for one second they did not know about his ban!!

Personally,whilst my view my be in the minority,Amir deserves his ban,so does Butt and Asif, but that dressing room has been rotten with corrution for a long time.
He did wrong and got caught......many many others have got away with it....
and they have got away with it......

Paul Harrison, the chairman of the Surrey Cricket League, said: "This leaves us in a bit of a quandary. The critical question that we as a league need to have answered in black and white before we can take any action is the ramifications of this gentleman's – or alleged gentleman's – ban. I've read the ICC tribunal decision, but I'm no legal expert, and I need to find out from the powers that be what it actually means."

Errr, correct me if I'm wrong but an ICC ban on "Any Cricket-related activity" also includes your league, and any activity involving a cricket bat and cricket ball, of any description. You, Sir, are a complete idiot. You, Sir, and the League committee all deserve to be sacked and replaced by people who know what they are doing.

In addition, the same is true of the club.

"I was informed by club representatives before the game that it was a friendly match, being played on a privately owned cricket ground," Amir told PakPassion.net. "I asked the club representatives if the match fell under the jurisdiction of the ECB and they informed me that the match did not. I spoke to several club representatives about the issue and they all told me that it was a friendly match and therefore would not contravene my ban from the ICC. I was informed that I was fine to play."


Amir also denied that he had signed any registration documents with the club and insisted that he would never have taken the risk of playing had he known it was an official match.


"I would not be stupid enough to knowingly play in a match that I knew would contravene my ban. Wherever I am going to play cricket, the world will know about it. I would not be stupid enough to play in a match where I knew that I would be taking a risk".


Amir was central to Addington's 81-run victory in the game, against St Luke's CC. He surprisingly opened the innings and scored 60 before returning figures of 4 for 9 in seven overs.


This is not the first time Amir has appeared in a game which has had to be investigated by cricket authorities. Earlier this year in January, when he was under provisional suspension and still awaiting punishment for the Lord's scandal, he turned out for a Rawalpindi club to play a friendly game. That prompted the ICC and PCB to investigate the nature of the game before the former eventually concluded that it was an unofficial game and the club wasn't registered with the Rawalpindi cricket association; Amir was thus found to have not broken the ICC's anti-corruption code of conduct.

The club and Amir are both at fault. The club should be docked points and Amirs two years suspended should be added on, no ifs and buts about it

I need to know if he wants a game in mid July, strictly a 8 a side tournament with 4 invented teams for the day. If anyone has a number for him please forward it on.

ha!
interesting how he could play in a Surrey Div 1 game without signing any forms(according to the press)
we play in middlesex and can't play without a photo id being logged with the league and having registration forms submitted signed by our secretary........

Is that Middlesex Championship? Nothing like that in the MCCL, although all first team players have to be registered.

In the Somerset league you have to get your fingers and toes counted to prove you are not an outsider......
