Who else would he have been talking to? A random guy from the street asking secret information and happily answering?
First off, this is NOTW taking advantage of people speaking out of an emotion. ALL OF US KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE SAY THINGS WHEN WE ARE UPSET. Hameed for a long time has felt that Farhat was chosen ahead of him because of his family connections. Hameed was poor in these tests, this might have been his last go. I dont think PCB would have picked him for anything again anyways.
To corner him, make him think that he is letting off some steam, and then to put it in the news paper is the kind of thing the british do. They are a clever bunch, and thats why i stay away from their kind.
As to your comments about banning the PCB, I dont think thats going to happen. PCB brings in a lot of money for the ICC. Cricket in England and Australia, save for the ashes is dead. The only place where cricket matters is south asia thats it. Yes India is the main Honcho, but i ask you, how many people were there to cheer for England in England vs. Pakistan today. Not Many.
I doubt the ICC will want to give up on that revenue. INstead this whole investigation has been centered on three players, its not a coincidence. Dont expect anyone else to get banned. Hameed? well there was a good chance he wouldnt play for Pakistan again anyways.
