11.15pm An ICC statement adds: "ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed also spoke to umpire Darrell Hair by phone from Dubai.
"Following these meetings the umpires decided that, having made the decision to award the match to England, to change that decision would not be in keeping with the Laws of Cricket. The ICC backs the decision of the umpires."
** "The issue of a charge or charges to be laid ***against Pakistan under the ICC's code of conduct will now be dealt with at the earliest possible opportunity. Pakistan has been charged under level two of the code of conduct, 2.10, which relates to changing the condition of the match ball*."
Its about time that we should expect and not hope. This is an unusal situation where national pride is on the line and Pakistan cricket fans expect PCB and ICC to realize that.
If no evidence can be found against Pakistan then PCB should threaten to sue this stupid Hair. I know legal action can prove to be very expensive, however when your reputation is stake - then you should be prepared to pay any price.
lmao,.we can all HOPE,...but i don't think any of us EXPECT much,...........apart 4rm the Pakistani team being penalised in sum sort of shape or form,.............
THey will probably suspend Inzi and few other players. ICC will not do anything to the umpires. Like Wasim Akram said on GEO TV that they are useless and they basically collect money!
