Dhobi Bhai! :hug: Let’s begin by voting for Darrell Hair on this link: http://www.stickcricket.com/feature20.html for being the culprit, as we all know!
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Look at the bright side guys, this series loss will not hurt as much now. The whole series would be viewed in light of controversy and outright prejudiced racism.
What we also know that our team isnt as bas as it seemed in the first few tests. We were playing with toothless attacks in hostile territory. When we got our spears back in the 4th test we showed the world what we're capable of.

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
I know all of you want Pakistan to forfiet the ODI's but I say no because this gives pakistan agression. Lets thrash England 5-0 c'mon.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Thank you, brother. I wanted to see Osman’s point of views on this boiling issue.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Long time ago an ICC elite panel umpire accused Pakistan team of cheating as they altered the condition of the ball. Usually such a serious allegation is immediately followed by a detailed report at the end of the day to the match referee indicating the individuals involved in tampering.
I was wondering what happened to that umpire? We never heard from him? Did he forget to provide the evidence of his serious allegation? If that is the case, why haven't we heard an explanation from the ruling body of cricket yet, since that umpire was representing ICC? Are we living in stone age where it is not possible to get a video footage from zillions of cameras present in the ground?
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
What kind of incompetent morons they’ve got masquerading as “officials” in PCB…that turd, Zaidi, Director of cronism at PCB, has stated another unusured, contradictory, and outright idiotic stance and position of PCB…that they will protest the forfeiture, yet they have accepted the outcome of the match in the favor of Eng???

Shahrayar Khan: “Deeply indignant” © Getty Images
Shahrayar Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, has launched a scathing attack on the Australian umpire, Darrell Hair, accusing him of intransigence and insensitivity, and has requested to the International Cricket Council that he never officiates in a Test involving Pakistan again.
Speaking to the media at the Marriott Hotel in North West London, Shahrayar described the incidents that led to the forfeiture of yesterday’s fourth Test at The Oval as “a grievous blow to the spirit of cricket,” adding that the team was “deeply indignant” at the manner in which the ball-tampering issue arose.
“Darrell Hair has trained his guns on the team,” said Shahrayar. “It is a slur on the players and a slur to Pakistan itself. The team has had problems with him before, and have lost confidence in him as an umpire. They are deeply offended by his attitude. Ask the Sri Lankans, ask the Indians about the same man.”
The ICC, however, has told Cricinfo that they will not be dictated to by their member nations when it comes to appointing umpires for specific series, citing the problems recently encountered in Italian football when certain referees are assigned to certain games.
“We are not dictating to the ICC,” insisted Shahrayar. "When we have previously raised this issue, they have said that they have very few umpires, and that it is not always possible to suit every country. If every country were to say, "I don’t want A, B, C, I want X, Y, Z, that would be wrong.
“But I think our case is somewhat different. It is not the fact that Darrell Hair is a bad umpire, Darrell Hair is a good umpire. Our team has a problem with his attitude on the field. That attitude has upset our team more than once. If the ICC is sensitive to countries and to boards, it will take due cogniscence. We have not raised this issue about any other umpire. Billy Doctrove, we welcome.”
Shahrayar reiterated that Hair was the single bone of contention for the Pakistanis, adding that the spirit between the two teams had not been remotely affected by the issue, and that both sides had been ready and willing to take the field in yesterday’s final session, and get the game back underway.
“Cricket is a bridge of peace,” he added. “In these days of tension outside the cricket ground, what a wonderful site it is to see cricket between a Muslim country and Muslim people, and England, the majority Christians. Why destroy this bridge of peace? Why go on and on with intransigence, saying 'No, no, no, we will not resume [the match] I find that very difficult.”
Hair however was doing nothing more than following the letter of the law, and in that respect the Pakistanis have been hoisted by their own petard, after refusing to take the field after tea in protest. “I don’t regret the protest at all,” insisted Shahrayar. “It was entirely justified.”
Even so, there seemed to be some confusion about the events of the afternoon, with Shahrayar claiming that the ball - 56 overs old - had been damaged by a spate of sixes from Kevin Pietersen that had bounced off the concrete. In fact, Pietersen only started hitting sixes after the ball had been changed.
For all his positive noises, Shahrayar stopped short of offering a full assurance that the remainder of the tour would go ahead as planned. “I don’t want to answer hypothetical questions,” he stated. “Our decision is that we should play the five one-day matches, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Everything rests on Inzamam-ul-Haq’s Code of Conduct hearing, which takes place on Friday, and Bob Woolmer, Pakistan’s coach, told Channel 4: “I would think the one-day tournament will be in jeopardy if [Inzamam] is found guilty and banned for eight games. If the punishment is deferred then it may be different. Certainly after these events the players are right behind their captain, and if there is a ban there will only be more problems.”
Inzamam faces a ban of up to eight one-day internationals after being charged with a Level 3 Code of Conduct offence for bringing the game into disrepute. However, as Inzamam told Cricinfo this morning, it is the lesser charge of ball-tampering, a Level 2 offence, on which this entire issue hinges.
**Consequently, the PCB have taken a somewhat contradictory stance on the Level 3 offence, insisting that they will challenge the forfeiture, but will not be seeking to alter the result of the match. “The England team were willing to play,” commented Abbas Zaidi, the PCB’s director of board operations. “That is a great tribute to the spirit between the teams.” **

PCB administraters ,they all don,t have even an iota of cricketing sense,They all r like Afridi in their own positions.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
There are 2 points:
Or Hair hates asians OR he doesnt follow the rules ...
Because in the ICC rule number 21.3 there is written The referee cant start the game without the captain is saying to.. wel Inzamam didnt know about what was happening ..and later on he didnt wanted to resume the game ..
Ok , In faisalabad (if i am not mistaking it was faisalabad) England vs Pakistan played,Inzamam was batting and an english fielder throw the ball , the ball almost hitt inzamam, so to save himself he got on the side, and the ball hit the stump, and the referee Hair gave him Out ,In the ICC rules is also written that, If the Batsman wants to save himself for hitting a ball on him, and he moves to the side, and the ball hits the stump, its then NOT OUT.. because the batsman was trying to save himself
Not only pakistan has problem with Hair but also India an Sri lanka .. the conclusion is Or he hates asians Or he doesnt follow the rules .. well i guess 75% he hates them and 25% he doesnt follow the rules ..
