Re: Inzi's hearing Postponed
Madugalle might have chickened out at the thought of having to manage such a big controversary and decided to hide behind "family illness". I mean come on, FAMILY ILLNESS. A member of his family FELL ILL in the past two days, HOW CONVENIENT?
England/PCB/ICC may like this postponement for it allows the ODI series to be held without any further complications. After the series is over, the whole reduces to ICC-VS-Inzimam affair that ECB couldn't care less about. Right now, this issue is EVERYBODY'S PROBLEM, wait for three weeks, and it will only be Pakistan's problem. ONce all steam is taken out of this issue, ICC will find it easier to hand Inzi a ban without having to do anything about Hair. Come to think about it, a postponement is NOT in Pakistan's favor.
Inzi's lawyers wanted a postponement to get more time. I think we could ask them to pull a couple of all nighters and be ready by Friday. While we will benefit from having a team of lawyers with Inzi, we will NOT benefit from this hearing getting postponed.
One more implication, a postponement will mean that our players will be playing with lots of anxiety which is bound to affect their performance :(
I think it's a big joke that ICC can't find a person to handle this issue. Is this a "Mahallah Punchayet" or an international sports body.
Nicely said!
I think Pak lawers doesn't need more time. If they are asking for more time it means they are allowing Hair and ICC more time to cover their A@@. I think at this stage, Hair and ICC doesn't have proof to support their allegations, and PCB only needs to make sure they couldnt prove what they are alleging.
If They allow Hair and ICC more time, I am sure in this age of technology they can doctor match videos and make discussion inconclusive. Do we give benefit of doubt to Inzi? I dont think so, ICC will use it as an enough proof to punish poor chap.
Additionally, if hearing is takinging place before ODIs then ECB will most likely stay neutral or support Pakistan so that they don't loose money from tour postpondment but once ODIs take place then we will be facing a westren block where ECB will rather help gather proof for ICC to punish Pakistan.
Lets see how far Sheryar could humiliate us!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we may even see another Darrel Hair friend Chris Broad to take over instead of Madugally.... and I am sure there is no secret he or any Kiwi will support Hair.
