Sheheryar Khan comes from the old school, where the unfortunate trend followed by most people was to please the goras. Small surprise that he even agreed to a statement that umpires were right in changing the ball, hence kissing up to Hair. Hair, on the other hand, didnt budge even after that. I wish we had Imran Khan with PCB at this time. This is whats gonna happen:
1. Inzi will be charged of atleast one of two charges. 2. The series will go on. 3. Hair will continue to be on the elite panel (I will be very happy if any of the above predictions r wrong).
On the other hand, its really disgusting to see australians and english supporting Hair just because of his race.
actually i have realised that a lot of the english public ARE supporting the pakistani team in their actions! unfortunately i don't think the same can be sed about australians
We would lose sympathy and support not only from England but also from the rest of the world
It all depends on our media relation officer in PCB how he portrays our image and feelings to English media. When quitting the ODIs he should make clear to all cricket fans in England that the beef is not with ECB or England, rather ICC's incompetency. It depends on how our team of coach, PCB management handles media.... they can convince public that Pakistan is the victim and the protest is against ICC, if they can do that then I don't think English cricket fans will blame Pakistan for bowing out. They have to take steps very carefully now.
I think if Inzimam and/or team got penalised after ICC hearing Shereyaar should take some serious action and call for ICC's crises meeting and threat to cancel Pakistan's membership. Its a matter of honour now. We have been on receiving end since yesterday afternoon. First got allegation of match tampering, then were given forced forfieting of the match that we were winning. Now we will be penalised as well.
I bet you wihtout Pakistan cricket will never be same again. Its time to negotiate or live opressed like we have been. ICC needs to be washed for good.
It has now become obvious that Darrell Hair or ICC has no evidence what so ever to prove the ball tampering allegation. It has been more than 30 hours but we haven’t heard or seen an evidence. Additionally ICC charging Inzi for ball tampering and not any particular team player suggest that they have no concrete evidence.
Just imagine for a second, how stupid it sounds to have a trial against a player for ball tempering when you don’t even have an evidence. Is it even legal to do that?
It is pretty clear to me that ICC sometime yesterday or today after realizing that Mr Hair’s has made a major F**k up by accusing a team of ball tampering without any evidence, decided to come up with this face saving move, i.e. to have 2 simultaneous trials against Inzi and then declaring him guilty for not bringing his team to the ground and bringing the game into disrepute. At the same time they will very generously declare him not guilty for ball tampering since no such evidence was found.
I’m not feeling so well niether I had any sleep since that over and Hair pooking his ****** fingers into the cricket ball.
I just got oof the ARY channel which says 'Sheryaar traveling to Dubai to lsubmit a letter of compalint to ICC soon .
On Indian channel they have covered the news in such a manner that clearly implicates as ‘Inzy in Trouble’ guilty and soon to be reperimanded with penalties. On same channel ICC Ceo & SR Malcom Speed has laid down the charges as ‘Level 2 charge’ of Ball tempering with possible 1 test and 2 ODI ban , in the same tone he also added tthat a 3rd charge has been added of bringing the game of cricket to disarray by interupting and refusal to complete
and forfeiting the match. For later Inzy could face 2 Test ban and 8 ODI ,
Pakistan has been advised to launch their appeal if they want.
The judiciary panle will include Malcome Speed, Senior Chief Referee, and Former Sri Lankan Captain (I believe it would be De’Silva) !!!
Over all Speed’s body language and wordings are not very positive for the game of cricket. The fact is despite the public opnions Pakistan has been Charged but the controvercial Umpire stays at large!
What this commision is going to nvestigate can not be free of ny racisim and to make it look clean , they have added a Sri Lankan former Captain to it !
Guys I cannot take this any more I’m so tired, off to slepp
Salam to Pakistan team and to all the Pakistannnis the worlg over
Unconfirmed, but sum1 has told me that Duncan Fletcher has accused Asif of ball tampering on Skysports...so now ECB and the team are involved. I have a bad feeling that they have evidence also otherwise they wouldn't have been dumb enuff to make such a bold accusation.
Exactly... the ICC are a bunch of arrogant bureaucrats.
Still, it would be in Pakistans best interest to boycott the ODI's if Inzimam is given the ridiculous 8-match ban. The whole basis of his actions is on the merit of honour, and it would lose its essence if he and the PCB were to cave in to the ICC's pressure.
The point is that they don’t have any concrete evidence of anything.
Whatever they maight have isgoing to be half assumption and half image,but enough to further sink our image as it is.
In the meanwhile here’s some Australian shyt, I hate them idiot racist ex con society, &^%$#^ ,
Its good, that Pakistan has taken this stance, if pakistan had played it would have been assumed that paksitan did tamper the ball... better to stamp out this issue once and for all...
