Subject: RE: BS: Pakistan forfeit test match
Its just not cricket any more,of course the rot started when batsmen stopped wanlking, but what a delightful game with all those positions like silly mid on, square leg,fine leg, silly point. who but an idiot would field at silly point.bowling a maiden over something I havent been able to do for a long time.
   I blame W G grace .he was the one who first refused to accept an umpires decision and said the crowd have come to see me bat, so im not out.
    umpires word is final , both umpires are neutral, both umpires were involved in the decision, havent certain previous pakistani test bowlers been found guilty of cheating, umpires are only human but if a team has a track record, of course it can affect an umpire,IM SURPRISED ANYONE WANTS TO BE AN UMPIREOR A REFEREE.next thing is some idiot will issue a fatwah to the umpires.
