Darryl hair - Overrated decision maker

[silentstriker]

By that reasoning no show of affection can be regarded as meaningful. Rubbish. Cricket is not international politics. Getting desparate aren't you

So basically, Andrew Symonds and Harbhajan Singh like each other when they shook hands?

Unless you have some background - no, it certainly can't. It'd be unutterably foolish to take it for granted that it could.

 

[pasag]

Yeah? Blimey, never heard that. Very poor indeed.

After some nifty searching, it was Slow Love (miss him, tbh) that referenced it - http://forum.cricketweb.net/showpost.php?p=969247&postcount=71

No, it means that a handshake can't be regarded as a legitimate show of affection, especially in a sporting environment. Duh.

Ay, we all miss him. Need yet another major scandal and someone to Paul Young him rather than taking it for granted that he's back for good.

Well there is background and history here and England would know all about it. I'm sure they knew they'd anger some people by greeting Hair like a long lost friend, but they did it anyway

Haha, so basically when players shake each others hands, that means they like each other? For example, Ian Chappell and Ian Botham - they really like each other, right?

In any case, even if they actually do, why does it matter?

Nope, not really. Virtually no-one is irrational enough to expect everyone they dislike to be disliked by everyone.

Well it depends on the shake, and I heard the shake and smile was for real. Now this is boring.

Unless you are going to dispute this, I would kindly ask you to stop spreading misinformation.

Well, far be it from me to contradict your intimate insider's knowledge of the English cricket team.

I'm not the one making absurd Machievellian comments about a warm greetng. Face it, theres alot of love for Hair.

Haha, my thoughts precisely TBH.

 

[MrHat]

Haha, my thoughts precisely TBH.

Which you happen to agree with

 

[Richard]

I happen to agree with my own thoughts?

 

[MrHat]

I don't doubt for a second that a handshake and smile are gestures which tell no-one anything of importance, but I also don't think Hair is in any way disliked in the England team. Never seen anything to suggest such a thing.

No with me

 

[andmark]

Overrated? He's very contraversial, but not overrated

 

[MrHat]

Now i've had enough of the hyena tag team tonite

 

[Son Of Coco]

Without getting into whether I think Hair is a racist or not, we already know what has happened when he umpires a subcontinent team.



Considering all the official complaints don't work and you keep getting shafted - sure, you should do that.

If this is truly the case then i think a few teams should start preparing to send a man out to look after square leg.

 

[honestbharani]

Ok why don't you tell us what will happen. Alot of people seem happy he has returned to cricket, including the England captain. Hair is hardly a fanatic, he is just very officious. Why should Hair treat subcontinentals with kid gloves, thats asking for double standards.

because there are things like cultural differences and there is something else an umpire ALWAYS needs and Hair seems to lack big time.. I think it's called COMMON SENSE.
