***Official*** Pakistan in England

[Xuhaib]

Who gives a damn what the English media thinks about the Pakistan team??????????????

Do you think the British media will take to kindly to Pakistan ruining the last test of the summer?I sure don't.

Pakistan was forced in to it they are not the only party involved.

Its not just a minor umpiring decision of L.B.W or caught behind Hair has hurt Pak in that manner coutless times before but thats not the issue here, overhere he is labeling Pakistan as cheats.

Ok, if no one in Pakistan thinks their team cheat, then why do they care if Daryl Hair does?

Appealling != not taking to the field of play

After such a horrible accusation i dont think anyone can have their mind on cricket,you could just see the body language of the Pakistan team after that incident.

How on Earth you got unbanned I'll never know, oh well first person in ages I've added to my ignore list.

Yeah and what are you .. President of UNO, Showing personal hatered ....
Ignore . Yes but who are you ?
Rather than personal attacks , discuss with logic ..

Because he is umpiring the game and could be a very critical party involved in the outcome of the game.

Still somehow conspired to dismiss Pietersen tho! Akmal's catch didn't strike me as one of a man just going through the motions!

Inzi looked very jarred off (rightly so if Hair's actions are groundless), but I personally would doubt very much if it was his decision for Pakistan not to return to the field on time after tea.

Not the issue at hand, is it? Had Pakistan continued to play they would have had unqualified sympathy from 99% of viewers/fans. As it stands they've seriously queered the pitch.

Its not only about that particular tamper issue ..

The action was correct by playing and accepting 5 runs penalty it would have showed that Pakistan accepts Darrel Hair's decision.

What else were they protesting about? Price of oil? Lack of complementary shower caps in the Brixton holiday inn?

Do enlighten me....

This is covering old ground that you've argued with Sean (Faaip) 17 times already and I have no intention of doing so again.

Rather overstating the "horrible" nature of the accusation, don't you think? It's hardly the first time a Pakistani bowler has been accused (and found guilty) of ball tampering.

I think this whole thing has far more to do with their dislike of Darrell Hair than the accusation itself. If it had been Billy Doctrove who had been the lead umpire in the matter i don't think it would have turned out the same way.

They were on the field so they has to keep trying but general body language showed they had other things on their mind.

But would so much fuss have been made about it? Clearly not. Its likely there would not have been any form of apology, the 5 run penalty still would have stood (i.e they still would have been accused of cheating), and other than categorically denying any such wrongdoing in the media, the issue would have blown off after a while with Hair getting off scott free.

What this has done is, bring to the attention Hair's clear mission. Its unfortunate that its happened in this way, but I'll tell you what, its clear Pakistan haven't cheated today. Because if any player on that team had tampered with the ball, this wouldn't have occurred.

Calm Calm .. The circumstances too . The same person making visible mistakes ..
Calm my friend calm . Its alright .. Its not just one decision which is the base of a big trouble .. I have discussed it once that "Hair has a problem " . And it is visible . The question is beyond one odd decision . Question is his "Presence" ..

Well so what? They're grown men, they should be able to get on with it.

I reckon that added more fuel to the fire, then made it less of a horrible accusation.

 

[Kweek]

fraz so far, we have been calm..and you obviously not...

And Darell Hair does not have a history of getting in to wrong headlines, also their dislike for Hair is clearly justified which you should know if you have witnessed previous Pakistan games that Hait has officiated.
