Sreeshanth is Innocent

Although the media circus, social and mainstream media in Kerala especially, are making a mockery of the innocent until proven guilty norm and are filled with daily reports of the spot-fixing scam and the three guilty men, I have reasons to believe that they are all innocent. This is why-

1) Rahul Dravid, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals team and its owners Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have not been accused of any wrongdoing

2) There was arms-length between Sreeshanth and the ball, quite literally. Otherwise he would have been pulled up by the ICC for suspect action

3) There was zero-loss. Rajasthan Royals won the matches involved in spot-fixing and even qualified to the eliminator. Hence no loss. A case could be made for immense gain to the economy as the spot fixing money would increase liquidity, consumption and lead to economic growth.

4) Where is the spot-fixing Mr.Delhi Police?- There was no spot-fixing in the eliminator, but RR lost to Mumbai in the match. What this means is that spot-fixing was good for the team.

5) Delhi Police exceeded its constitutional mandate- the job of Delhi police is to use water cannons against innocent protestors who demand that state provide legitimate protection for women. Although it has to maintain security inside the stadium, it has no business in a cricket field.

6) Delhi Police cannot dictate bowling tactics- Delhi police has no expertise in bowling, at best it has some skill in batting through the regular use of lathi against protestors. How can it dictate policy, I mean bowling tactics?

The best way to investigate this is by appointing a Joint BCCI Committee consisting of Srinivasan, Shilpa Shetty, Lalit Modi, Subrato Roy, Sreeshanth's brother, Chandila and Mohammad Azharuddin as government representative. During the hearings, the three players, Delhi Police, Srinivasan and bookies will not be summoned. The report will then question why Rajasthan Royals purchased Sreeshanth and the other players at the auctions and why Dravid allotted that specific over to them, due to which Shilpa Shetty will resign in protest.



Statutory Disclaimer- if the post resembles any other scam in India, it is purely co-incidental. The names used have been changed.

PS- a serious disclaimer- Among the names, I mentioned Dravid, but comparing him to the original "arms-length" guy was definitely unfair and I mean no disrespect to him. Apologies.
