Absolutely 110% correct Villan. The alternative is the kind of mayhem we see at football matches, where players blatantly cheat and intimidate the match officials.

The plain and unadorned facts are that:-

1) The umpires stated that they believed the ball had been tampered with, and awarded England five penalty runs.

2) From that point on, they followed the laws of cricket absolutely to the letter.

3) They refused to be intimidated by Pakistan into reversing their decisions.

Shame that football referees haven't got the same kind of courage.
