Former Pakistan legspinner Danish Kaneria was given a life ban from English cricket yesterday for his involvement in the Mervyn Westfield spot-fixing case, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said.

Westfield was given a five-year ban, although he will be able to play club cricket in the final two years of his suspension.

In a statement, an ECB disciplinary panel said: "We regard Danish Kaneria as a grave danger to the game of cricket and we must take every appropriate step to protect our game from his corrupt activities.

"Accordingly, we are unanimously of the view that the only appropriate sanction in relation to both charges is one of suspension for life and that is the sanction we impose.

"This means from today Danish Kaneria is suspended from any involvement in the playing, organisation or administration of any cricket under the jurisdiction of the ECB."

Westfield was jailed for four months in February after admitting he accepted money to underperform during a Pro40 match between Essex and Durham in 2009.

You only have to look at the Codes of NRL (National Redneck League) and AFL ( GayFL) to recognise that Australia is the most 'corrupt' Sporting nation in the world.
Where else would you find Codes that cheat themselves!

Most Aussie sportsmen are corrupt gamblers too.
Tell me that Warne wasn't guilty along with Hanse Cronje & Co ...difference is that we 'hushed' it up on our side. Even Mark Waugh quietly snuck away.

I still remember that Windies player calling for a replay after being given out. The replay showed that he wasn't but the Video Umpire still gave him out. The Windies would have survived the loss.
