and many more to go if the ICC doesn’t work professionally. ICC was on ‘holiday’/off when it came to discussing Hair’s accusation, but when it came to giving decision to award game to England they were in office.
Hair has been repeatedly been biased against a region and still he gets to officiate in the games involving teams from that region.
Though Inzamam also gets a bit of blame for acting little late (in protesting) but major blame is still with Hair. ICC has not taken right actions in right time in past and in all likelihood Inzamam is the one who will get big penalty, rest of team might suffer too (atleast morale-wise if not 'penalty-wise) while nation feels humiliated. Hair may not officiate in future games involving Pakistan as a result of this darkest episode but that would still be a victory of Hair.
In protest, I am going to stop watching cricket unless the issue resolves accordingly. Good luck to those who are still going to follow.
Very, very good point noted above! Those barbaric looms and blood-sucking carnivores have crossed the line this time with their typical under-the-sun case of double standards. I can hardly stand on the ground of unethical abuse and racial slur, and double-standards is the issue which will simply not be tolerated.
Kaptaan Jee, have heart. Watch Inzamam and Imran pluck the hairs out of Hair, one by one, piece by piece. The bloody carcass of that bigot leech will be fed to wolves once we are done grabbing our fair share.
I will stay tuned until a final verdict is delivered, if Hair gets away unscathed then it will be final adios, I don't want to watch a game run by incompetent people kissing someone's behind on racial/ethnical lines.
just like the loss of this game doesn't matter, similarly it wouldn't matter how badly Pakistan crushes England... as it is, its not about Pakistan vs England, rather Pakistan vs ICC.
Pakistan should surrender it’s ICC memebership and file a law suit of several hundred charges,
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh should form an ACC Asian Cricket Counsil with its own rullings and governence, ,
Time to correct the History Pakistan ! before it happens !
Same here. Not too much interested in cricket anymore due to lack of professionalism, fair play and allowing racist pig hair to repeatedly mess up various games for various countries throughtout the years and then ICC officials side with such racist pigs without holding them accountable or asking for evidence of their baseless accusation.
Lets give it all we got before making such a decision…
We can’t give up when we need to raise our voices… We just gotta keep pushing the right channels… I for one believe that forums like ours have created a lot of difference .. our voices have been heard by many… really.
I wish PCB was thinking along our lines and there was some real hope that ICC will take ‘fair’ action then I wouldn’t even have thought about ‘surrender’.
If ICC does give a fair verdict then the game will earn its respect back, but going by past the chances are slim that we will get justice and ICC will arrogantly support its official.
First of all PCB has to show some weight, secondly ICC needs to prove its worth… otherwise its curtains for me.
Everyone and all eyes are focused on ICC now after the incompetent show of professionalism from umpire Darrel Hair in Pak vs Eng 4th test to see if the cricket authority has any authority over its own official or if its a adhoc group playing with people's money with no accountability of its officials.
Time and time Darrel has proved how biased he is against the teams from Asian subcontinent, it was a volcano waiting for eruption after continuous nomination of one racist official in games involving the people he hates.
It is the darkest event of cricket history I know and there are many many fans like me who have given up on ICC or are about to give up... just waiting on ICC with a very bleak hope that ICC will do the justice and stop such racist bigots from ruining the beautiful game of cricket for everyone.
Match-fixing scandal lost a big bunch of cricket fans, some returned after few years and now another big bunch is on the edge, its time for ICC to make or break the game.
before it happens !
