A judge and his quandary

Wasim Akram's solicitor has rubbished the statements of Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum, who in an interview with Cricinfo had said a "soft corner" for Akram might have influenced him while handing out a lenient punishment in the match-fixing case

Wasim's solicitor, Naynesh Desai, responded to Qayyum's comments: "It beggars belief that he can say something like this six years after the event. He is not suggesting that Wasim lied to him, but that he had let him off because he liked him. It looks like the judge is peeved about something and he is having a pop at everyone. How can he help Saleem Malik on his appeal when he banned him from the game in the first place?"
