I shall be looking towards this from a purely logical point of view.As far as the charge there being so many bookies at his party, what we should consider here is that these bookies arent shady characters with small slips of paper that hang around in dark allys.they are very smooth polished people who actually might be on good terms with the sporting or shall I say cricketing fraternity.Hey I might be a murderer but that doesent mean I will murder folks when I go to a friends or an acquaintances house!
now logically if sachin is involved in shady deals then I guess it would be logical to presume that he would be protected but then that is a big if so we should look at the facts and not speculate too much!!!
