Messages posted on this board from some Muslim brethren, are pathetic! Most of us seem to have ignored the fact that Inzi did accept the verdict of 2-umpires,for ball-tampering,for penalty of 5-runs,and thereafter,Inzi-preferred to continue playing with a Newly replaced ball,without any"demur"! Heated arguments went to be heard from Paki-dressing room,during the lunch-break.Inzi and his men,opted to abstain from the on-going match.None informed the waiting umpires in the field why Paki-team was not ready to"resume"the play>Thus resulting in declaring Eng to have won by Paki-abstension? Inzi and his men,started"belatedly"agitating against ball-tampering verdict,by way of an after-thought! Let's spare cricket from being dubbed in relgious-orthodox spirit.Let's view the things without any bias.Blame rests with Inzi and his team's conduct.Why pick up Hair alone when verdict in the case was given jointly by Doctrove and Hair,2-on field umpires? Inzi and his men,can't substitute another verdict by applying bullying tactics.ICC should handle the issue atonce rather boldly and dispassionately.Hair seems to have succumbed to bullying tactics when he had sent the controversial e-mail.

Dear Ahluwalia, first of all check ur things, its not that a muslim is supporting another muslim.. even many hindus have supported the pakistan, I am a big of Indian cricket, ur views are good in one sense, but never ever mention that a muslim is supporting any other muslim, what ever v did, its based on the game, and there is nothing of religion. i don't know why u people bring religion every where......... every one is giving their opinions here....not that supporting the religion...as u found Inzi was wrong, i found that hair was wrong in his approach , actually Inzi shud have stopped playing the test as soon as the umpire changed the ball. there he did a big mistake by continuing the match..and after that unpire did a big mistake by sending a stupid e-mail..............
yes ofcourse without any pint of hesitation i would say pakistanis did a wonderful thing . their action has to some extent put on hold conspiracy by some people against sub-contenent players.
Very good decesion taken by Inzy to stop playing and protest against Hair, Pak team to right direction. same why India should pay huge money unnecessary to Chapel better to send back to Australia lot of very good coach are available in India.
yes, i agree with hair his decision is the right one in the laws of cricket.if pak wanted to take some action,they could have taken after the match.but it was their unfair play,that they did not entered the ground at the time of play.we should see the background of pak also.once again i want to tell the decision of hair was the right one.
I Think It is Serious Issue, But i feel Umpires Shouldn't Interfere In This Matter It is Duty of The Match refree To see the Video Cliping's & Have A Word.
Since we are not Playing Base Ball It's Cricket Should Be Played according to rules & Regulations All Nations should follow the Rules.
With out any proof no body can be punished. ICC should investigate the matter whether PAK team did blunder or not. Whoever it may be either Hair or PAK team, found guilty in the probe, they should be punished severly. I think without any strong proof we should NOT say Hair made blunder.
