Shahriyar talking on sky news. He is pointing the finger towards Hair.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
**1752: **Still no official announcement. Yellow-jacketing stewards are ringing the outfield. The covers are still off, if anyone out there fancies a game.
1749: Complete confusion in the crowd. The spectators haven't been told a thing, as the following text message will illustrate:
"What's going on? Have we won?" *Jamie, England fan at The Oval *
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
from Cricinfo
5.45pm No individual has been accused, by the way; Cricinfo have been told by sources inside the Pakistan camp.
What a farce 
The ball tampered itself lol.

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Sheheryar Khan putting it all on Umpires, rightly so.
Also, interesting to find out that Pakistan was ready to come out, but AFTER a few minutes of protest… that they did, but they saw umpires walking back and went back in the room
The second time Umpires walked on the field they asked Pak to immediately come out; which they refused and wanted to come out on the field after several mins of protests… HAIR was quick to take the bails off and there it was… the stalemate.
Why didn’t the umpires turn around and carry on when Inzi came in the balcony first time around? – pointed by Sky Sports…
Good point :k:
I know why, cuz HAIR didn’t want to

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
I dont like this *Umpires are above the game *attitude. They have to be fully accountable for their actions. They are not gods of cricket.
“I hear a cheer which is normally a streaker but in this case its an umpire”

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
From BBC Sport:-
**1804: **The International Cricket Council say that they will not be making any statements for the time being. What's the hurry, boys? There's only 12,000 fans sitting there wanting to know what's going on.
1801: **Rumours circulate that there will definitely be no more play tonight. Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal is taking off his inner gloves; the other players are on the balcony looking depressed.
**1756: It's now been an hour and a quarter since play was meant to resume after tea.

^Thats not him i dont think.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Sheryar Khan sounded a bit confused while talking to BBC. I bet he dint expect the umpires to stand up to pakistan after their no-show. I say, PCB should float the idea of reimbursing the people for the 5th day but in no way were they going to be labeled cheats without having giving a chance to defend themselves.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
for the very first time, someone representing Pakistan (Ramiz) openly siad that Pakistan team don't like Hair and he is not wanted.
Good show Raja
