Amir - 6 month jail sentence. Pleaded guilty in court case.
Westfield - 4 month jail sentence. Pleaded guilty in court case.
Kaneria - No jail sentence. No court case. No guilty verdict from a law court, only from a tribunal.

Amir - 5 year ban from all cricket.
Westfield - 5 year ban from county cricket, but only 3 year ban from club cricket.
Kaneria - Life ban from all cricket.

Amir - ICC's latest announcement - No reduction in 5 year ban but possibility of training at PCB facilities allowed.
Westfield - Trying to get ban from club cricket reduced even further.
Kaneria - Told to pay over £100,000 costs of tribunal etc.

Double, or should it be triple, standards or what!

If you also include Asif and Butt, it means that Amir, Asif, Butt and Westfield, despite being found guilty in law courts and serving jail sentences, will all be allowed to play after serving 5 year bans ( 3 years in Westfields case as regards club cricket, and possibly even less depending upon his appeal), but Kaneria, who's not even been tried in a court of law, has a life ban?

What kind of justice is this, other than the ECB being vindictive towards Kaneria?
