That's more like it. IMHO he should have done this eariler.

All of this is commendable, the fact that the ICC responded quickly, the fact that Afridi has come out and said what he has, and also the fact that KP has also hinted it's not going to be something that will sour the comradory between the two sides. Up until mid-night yesterday, I was firmly of the opinion that Afridi's actions deserved a more serious punishment, in the least something that could in affect rule him out of any further participation in this match, but now, after reading all this, I've got thinking again. May be we should after all move ahead. Yes, the punishment could be extended a bit, but I don't think I'd like to tag him a 'cheat' for rest of his life because of it. After all, we all make mistakes, don't we? I can speak for my self, and I have had my fair share of "moments of madness".
