>>As you pointed out in your first post, the match being called forfeit has nothing to do with ball tampering, it's for a twenty-minute tantrum. A bad call IMO<<

Bad call or not, what are you expected to do as an umpire when a team decides they are going on strike. You can of course mediate, but in this particular instance, the umpire is enforced to carry out the rules, not make their own rules.

The bad call is from the Pakistani team who refused to come out and continue with the game when the umpires were ready.

If it proved that the umpires were correct about the ball tampering, where does that leave the Pakistani team.
I just hope for the good of the game, that the umpires have some concrete evidence to support their decision.

At this moment in time, it is unfair to do a witch hunt on the umpires, until all the facts are known.

Who are we to beleive at the moment, without the complete facts at hand.

If the Pakistanis are not cheats then I hope swift retribution is made against the umpires, but until the case is proven, the umpires are in charge and theerfore are correct.
