Pakistan is unnecessarily rakign the issue on racial lines. Its trying to provoke all asian nations by stressing that Hair is racial and he is anti Asians etc.They are trying to rope in other countries with these sort of comments.Two enemies become friends when both have the same enemy.. its in bad taste. Pakistan are trying to divide the cricket nations into Asians and Rest of th World. Did any one country had the Guts to question the umpiring in the recently concluded Soccer World Cup.
Surprised, How come Kapil remember's Hair, normally we expect Kapil ask... WHO IS DARELL HAIR.... The problem with human beings is that " if one goes by rule book he too rigid with rules and if the person ignores and take his oiwn decision he too relaxed and palyers get away under his supervision. Ultimately the man on the job should do as per what he perceives is right, he is paid for it and he should do without fear, irrespective of the stature of the cricketers and the country he comes from.
Darrell Hair did the right thing. Cricket standards (chucking/tampering/sledging etc.,) will improve only if the referees (or umpires) are given a free-hand. THe pakistani team committed a blunder (not the ball tampering, but not getting onto the field) and they have to be punished for it! Hail Darrel Hair for not cowing down and stnading by his decision!

Dear Ramesh ji, It is really ridiculous to give such a title to such a great player who has given a great pride toIndia. A perusal of the comments made by Kapil shows that he has given his comments after a complete research of the incidents and there is no word of his which proves he is a fool. I think you should take back your words and publicly apologise. REgards BST
i think all the sub-continent players should come forward with the pakistani team,an oppose the umpire & icc if they ban inzamam.common players we should be unique.
Malcolm Speed says that teams cannot decide who shall or shall not umpire them. But Darrell Hare is allowed to decide which teams he does not want to umpire ! (Zimbabwe) Isnt this a case of double standards by the ICC.
