What sort of punishment can be thrown their way apart from the obvious ban from Cricket?

I recon they will get a suspended sentence.
they wont go to jail
I hope their passports have been confiscated!
Butt could face seven years in jail when the pair are sentenced later this week. The lesser charge of conspiracy to cheat with which Asif was convicted carries a possible punishment of two years imprisonment.
Former captain Butt, 27, and fast bowler Asif, 28, plotted to bowl deliberate no-balls in the Lord's Test as part of a lucrative betting scam.

Couldn't disagree more. These lads have cheated the sport and have rightly been found guilty. However, with reports of prisons being overcrowded, is it really necessary to jail two people who have ultimately not harmed a single human being? There are burglars, thieves and thugs whose actions seriously affect people's lives with their actions who don't face prison sentences anywhere near the severity that these two cheating cricketers face.
Take their careers away, never allow them to return to these shores again but for Gods sake don't lock them up at the expense of the tax payer. They are hardly a danger to the public

They should be banned from the game of cricket altogether. They should not be able to make another penny from the game in any way, shape or form.

The others not so sure. Because of guilty pleas I think 5 or 6 years for the agent and 1-2 years for Aamir, that one maybe suspended.
They already have been banned from cricket, so I don't think this will make any difference to that.
The other thing about watching this on SSN is that the press photographers and reporters outside the court are almost making me feel sympathy for the players. What is the point of getting another 200 snaps of them walking through the doors? And asking stupid questions like "are you expecting to go to jail?" as if they're going to get an answer. Some of those guys are the lowest form of scum. The court officials should get a grip.
