    BREAKING NEWS : Hair wrote to ICC offering to resign

    http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/pakistan-coach-close-to-quitting-as-row-continues/2006/08/24/1156012674553.html Woolmer may resign yet again.

    That would still end up being a loss imo for the ECB, admittedly a lesser one. If i were the TV companies, id' be paying less for england vs new zealand. Crowds would drop as well. Pakistan draw crowds, especially to the one dayers. Shahid Afridi himself must draw a couple of thousand.

    They could simply fire him for being a knob, and pay him nothing Sounds like a plan :)

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    A quick question, SJS might know this one. Surely this isn't the first time a team has staged a protest of some sort? Has it happened before? Has the captain taken a team off the ground? I can vaguely remember one or two occasions, but they were all sub=continental teams. Surely a non sub...

    BREAKING NEWS : Hair wrote to ICC offering to resign

    this could be argued many ways 1) He wasn't dismissed 2) if he was dismissd, it was because he was no longer suitable for the job. ie. couldn't umpire most matches, due to his bad relations. 3) He caused too many problems in the workplace 4) He stuffed up a 'job' big time 5) He staled the...

    Should the Ball Tampering Law be Scrapped ?

    I believe that Ball tampering should be allowed, but to certain extents. 1) A player can use anything naturally on his body. Nails, Teeth, hair (not the darryl variety) etc. 2) Ball tampering is only allowed after the 25th over. Before this, the rules are to remain as they are now. 3)...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    Mike Proctor, the match referee, convinced the Pakistani's to go back on to the field, even after Hair removed the bails. Yes, by the strict word of the law, this means the match had been awarded to England, HOWEVER, cricket is first and foremost a gentleman's game. The match referee, and BOTH...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    If there was no ball tampering, why is there no penalty for Hair then? Surely the action he took was drastic, and caused Inzamam to take the action he did. So what if KP wasn't happy with the ball? If only I could say 'nah, i don't like that ball', for every ball that was swinging. So England...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    Dravid and the cough lolly, Tendulkar 'cleaning' the seam, etc. There's been countless examples of ball/pitch tampering, and these players are still considered heroes. As Michael Atherton said at the time of Afridi's incident, every single player does it from grade cricket onwards. They try to...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    Agreed, both parties are at fault. However, it's in my belief, that Hair's actions are what caused the pakistani's to do what they did. The test series has been going on without many hiccups at all, hardly any controversy etc. Both teams seem good spirited towards each other. Then out of the...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    The fact that the captain is facing the ball tampering charges suggests one of two things. 1) Inzamam tampered with the ball 2) Hair does not know WHO tampered, and so through the rules, Inzamam fronts the charge. I'm going with two, so Hair did not accuse, nor does he believe, that Asif is...

    Who needs Umpires anyway?

    If you're looking at the law, Hair did the right thing (his judgement is questionable none the less...) Common sense should have prevailed, and he should have waited for evidence (contacted 3rd ump), or waited till the end of the day/session. At the very least, he should have consulted Inzamam
