Love it!! Umpires walk on the field and walk off meanwhile Paskistan were having a whinge. They aren't happy that the umpires are walking off, so they go back into the dressing room. Hair rocks up at the Pakistan dressing room saying "do you want to play", Inzaman responds "what was wrong with the ball" neither party responds to each others question and hair calls the game off!!


Yeah look im siding with Paskistan, i mean take into consideration that KP had clobered the ball to all parts of the field and grandstand i can see how the ball would get damaged. Also the ball had just started reversing, no wonder they were pissed off you have never seen an english ball being replaced before lol!!

However if Hair witnessed one of the bowlers digging up the seam and sraching the ball to no end, well fair enough they have no case to answer for

I don't think it was racisim at all just coincidence that it has involved asian countries. Was listening to the commentary and the Pakistan commentator said that they have had run ins with hair before and have asked the ICC not to umpire there games

oh, but if you are going to turn around and say "Well look at his history, he has a lot of run-ins with Asian teams", well look at Pakistan's history, they have a lot of history with cheating too.

Fair enough

thats a bit presumptuous of you- that 15% figure would indeed be accurate if i had watched any cricket in the last 10 years. alas, the figure is probably closer to 75%

the problem is he calling both shoaib & murali for chucking. my dad as an umpire says that most of his colleagues would do the same (why do you think he wears 3/4 length sleeves now!) but his appointment is always going to be a bit rough if anything like this ever kicks off, they'll go back to the 'previous' I was hoping to get up this morning & watch it go again, but it wasn't to be, I guess the ICC are making sure they back their officials so there isn't a mutiny. i just hope that they do find something simply to vindicate the decision. As i think botham said on commentary, this could get very messy. And Ramiz Raja was almost in tears in his rebuttals

nothing about racism at all, but i would say that hair has either a problem with the teams themselves, officials involved or just general bad blood. I don't think he is a racist, but merely has very bad blood with these teams for whatever reason, right or wrong may they be. Don't think race has much to do with it (or hope not)

wait is this guys name hair?

Inzamam faces eight-match ban Cricinfo staff August 21, 2006 Inzamam-ul-Haq has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute along with changing the condition of the ball and, if found guilty, faces a ban of up to eight ODIs or four Tests. The ICC have confirmed that Inzamam will face a Code of Conduct hearing on Friday in London. Both Inzamam's charges will be considered during a hearing to be conducted by the ICC chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle. Madugalle has been appointed to chair the hearing because Mike Procter, the match referee at The Oval, was involved in the incidents that took place on Sunday afternoon and is likely to be asked to present evidence to the hearing. Inzamam has been charged, as captain, with a breach of level 2.10 of the ICC code which relates to changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3 of the Laws of Cricket. This charge was brought by Billy Doctrove and Darrell Hair, the on-field umpires, on Sunday. If Inzamam is found guilty of breaching this provision he faces a fine of between 50 and 100% of his match fee and/or a one-Test or two-ODI ban. Inzamam has also been charged with a breach of C2 at level 3 of the code which relates to conduct that brings the player or the game into disrepute. This charge was brought by Doctrove and Hair, along with Peter Hartley and Trevor Jesty, the third and fourth umpires, following a meeting on Monday morning. If Inzamam is found guilty, an appeal must be made within 24 hours and he would be allowed to continue playing until that has been heard.

I don't care about the ball tampering bit, but its the bringing the game into disrepute where I think the ICC needs to come down hard on him.
