Yes - but that is because it is against Muslim law - just like gambling is banned in the middle east and in parts of India.

But since when has that stopped people.

No i just meant what will he be convicted for, as book makers dont exist over there? or will he be charged for something by our country?

Sports betting is banned in India, nothing to do with Muslim Law, India's a Hindu country.

Was watching the T20 match and most of the top order have the Boomboom bats.
But noticed that there is still the normal tell-tale of the sticky plaster hiding the true make of the bat possibly?
Would this of been a CA bat? 
Or am I doing them a injustice?



AND THE TELL-TALE PLASTER!

I would think so mate...seems to be a fair few previous sticker marks on the bat from other stickers which have since been removed!!

[petehosk]

Crumbs...Pakistan need to concentrate if they're gonna recover from this start!!!!
22 for 4 after 5 overs, and Alfridi been and gone too!

They'll be fine, they've got fawad alam to come!

Pete, is it not more likely to be a SS the CA stamp is smaller and square where as TON is a little more rectangular? Despite this why doesn't he just get it sanded off?

I think it is a CA because he looks like he used to be sponsored by them, his helmet still has the CA sticker on the back

Greg - Not sure why he doesn't get it sanded off. And if it were an SS, then it is either TON or SS on the side. Plus there is a TON across the bottom rear of the bat, and there was nothing covered up there.....so I though it may be a CA?

Rob - in all seriousness, I think that Umar Akmal is a danger and looks an awesome prospect! IF he stays in then they should get a decent score! He just needs to keep his head!

i agree with pete (brownie points)

but i think that most pakistan players would use a pakistani bat make, i.e. ca, malik, ihsan etc.

He didn't keep his head, and now they've lost fawad!!!

Shambles....if I was a paying member of the already small crowd I wouldn't feel as though my hard earned cash was getting me value for money from my ticket!
