Re: PCB gearing up to act against Koertzen's 'cheat' remark
So either Rudi has shown himself to be pre-disposed and biased; or Darrel Hair is an incompetent liar. Considering Hair is still in the elite panel and want to umpire at the top level, it will be best to fully exploit this and investigate it completely.
Best case scenario is that Rudi and Hair will both find themselves kicked out of umpiring at the top level - or at the very least, won't umpire in Pakistan games. Worst case is that Rudi will deny saying this (making Hair a liar) and Pakistan Board will drop the proceedings. And since Rudi has blantantly shown his anti-Pakistan decision-making in plenty of cases in the past, it can't get any worse for Pakistan if Rudi is umpiring a game involving Pak in the future. I just can't see any severe downside if PCB decides to pursue this more exhaustively.
Exactly! It's a win win situation for the PCB if they persue it. Either Rudi will prove to be a racist or Hair will prove to be a liar and will lose whatever credibility he has left.
