And the very worst thing is that they the Pakistani's are now deciding who will or won't umpire any future matches when they are playing.
Under those circumstances Hair would umpire every match until they stop such threatening behaviour. Its not acceptable.
Incidentally I would hold the same view if the tampering was against England. The umpires are in charge not the players.
I don'tlike cheats and blackmailers fullstop.

Although this is not the subject of thsi thread, I am totally against Rooney ever becoming captain of England. He is a thug and is the very worst example of what football is about these days. Hemight be a bloody good footballer, but is a disgrace in setting a good example to youngsters.

A statement from Hair

Australian Darrell Hair, the umpire at the centre of the forfeited Oval Test, maintains he was correct to penalise Pakistan and award the game to England.
And he dismissed criticism of his past performance officiating Asian teams.

"People who know me know I would not take action unless I really thought it was necessary," he said.

"I have umpired quite a lot in the sub-continent and when the ICC have asked me to do a job I try and do it to the best of my ability."

Hair told Brisbane's Courier-Mail: "I stand by what I have done, but if anything comes out at the inquiry that proves me incorrect I would accept that too."

Just remeber that Billy Octrove was party to the decision about tampering and forfeiting. So why isn't anybody having a go at both of them.

By all accounts, they are two of the very best umpires.
