***Official*** Pakistan in England

[PY]

I don't know if it was a huge over-reaction Rich, if you'd been accused of cheating and penalised on the spot then you would be pretty darned peeved if you hadn't done it!

Is it fake indignation or genuine?

 

[pasag]

Hahaha, what on earth is going on here?

If we did that in India, the crowd would tear the stadium down.

absolute disgrace.

Stop trolling and saying Pakistan are a disgrace. In effect, Pak were accused of cheating. If Hair has proof they cheated, he has a right to change the ball and the events that followed were entirely of Pak's fault. But if there is no proof, then he just accused the Pak team of cheating based on assumptions. That's ridiculous and has huge implications. Though I don't necessarily support Pak not taking the field, I think they have the right to do it if they think they did nothing wrong. So shut up about your "disgrace" comments and wait until all the facts are out.

Dunno, Just because the TV cameras didnt pick it up, didnt mean it didnt happen

Botham just said that if Hair didn't have evidence that the ball was tempered with, then Pakistan have every right not to take the field. I'm sure Botham is a "disgrace" for saying that too right??

Yea you'd be very annoyed at that moment. But they've had time to think about it, speak with managers, coaches etc. and they come up with this rubbish so they've completely relinquished any moral high ground anyway.

I think this is a niggly bit of bad umpiring by Hair, in that even if there was ball tampering, it was so minor, and could have been sorted with a simple "I've seen what you're doing, don't do it again".. Combined with a huge Pakistani over-reaction

If I was the captain of a team, and I felt that my team was unfairly targetted...I would not wait until the tea break to march right out and forfeit the match.


If on the other hand, they did tamper with the ball, then there should be suspensions and fines.

Doesn't mean it did either. If Pakistan felt they were unfarily accused of cheating, then they have every right to do what they are doing.

Hafeez telling Akmal on the balcony to finish off with the Daily Sun You done yet Kamran?

Are Pakistan worried about losing? England only 40 odd behind

Um, huh? So 10 minutes later, after speaking with managers, they should say "Well its ok if we've been called cheats...lets get on"


Sorry, that doesn't work.

The only one trolling seems to be you. Whether they tampered with the ball or not this reaction is still a disgrace.

They forfeited the game, hence they already lost. So, I don't really understand this point.

If they did not tamper with the ball, then this is the only action that they should have done.

Enough is enough ..A man is who has courage to say it in face ..............

There have been 12 overs since the decision, so best part of an hour.

Cricketers are paid to play cricket.

Great job ... Clown .. Pig .. I was right , you see , I proved myself right .. HUH .

According to the Laws, they might.

I suppose Hair doesn't have the balls to hand England the match after causing this.
