Major private sector outsource service providers have been caught out for dodgy practices on government contracts, which have enabled them to keep the public funds flowing into their accounts, yet have still been awarded new contracts. Far worse than letting Westfield play cricket again.

Would you say the same thing if he had been convicted of similar offences as Adam Johnson?

What a cockeyed analogy.

You'll be comparing him to Hitler next.

The point I'm making is ...
...
His offence of match fixing/spot fixing makes him unemployable in a sporting environment.

The analogy is where someone who has been convicted of fraud would find it next to impossible to gain employment in a finance role.

Whilst I understand the point, my point was that if he was fit and in form enough to play at first class level, don't you think he would know everyone was looking at him very closely when he sent one down leg side? This is different from from the club rehiring Kaneria after the icc warnings about the formers unsavoury 'friends'.
