is the ball tampering true or is Darrell Hair just hates pakistan???

Question

ARE U SUAR??????????????????????????

Answer 1

pakistan crickers are renouned for cheating at cricket.i wont go into it as there are too many instances to mention but i will say they should be banned for a few years until they sort there act out.

Answer 2

Ball tampering is false allegation. Darrel Hair certainly commited an offensive mistake. His attitude does depicts, he hates Pakistan Crickters. After all they have reported him to ICC on more than one occasion already. When one is in elite panel, no matter how bad one feels about a player or a country, he wouldn't like to be reported and darrel hair just find an other oppurtunity to ruin pakistan's fame and probably at some corner of his brain, wanted to save England from a defeat after they had won the series 2-0, (this may not be as correct, yet a consideration).........one must know darrel hair is settled in England for three years and his wife is an english.
Very close to a 100% yes answer, darrel hair was wrong at Oval.

Answer 3

ball tampering is always true, it just depends how you want to look at it.

eg, a cricketer throws the ball through the air to the wicket keeper or bowler, nothing happens to the ball.
OR he throws it so it bounces to the receiver. it gets slightly scuffed on the grass.

the ball is "artificially" altered because the player effect the wear.
players can "shine" the ball using spit but they are all wearing suncream on their faces/lips so what is to stop them rubbing that into one side?

No one has said what Pakistan are accused of doing, but if it is taking chunks out with a fingernail then it is entirely possible, or someone in the crowd had a go when it was hit for 6 or the player retrieving it.

As far as Hair is concerned, he discussed it with a COLOURED umpire before making a decision. Being fair to the batsmen too, a ball that suddenly reverse swings out of nowhere is quite a big issue so there is every right for complaint and as far as i know one of the batsmen said something to him about it.

You can accuse Hair of being a racist but what would be the inverse opinion if it was Billy Doctrove who had the record and had made the decisions. I think the racism claims are outrageous and 3/4 incidents over 15 years is no reason to condemn someone. The ICC didn't get called racist when investigating one of the Asian bowling actions (about 5 years ago, it might have been one of the Sri Lankans who was recorded in the nets from square of the line to check it was a legal action).

Conclusion: It could have been any umpire making the call but ball tampering is there, but not really anything anyone can stop on a minor level.

Answer 4

Darrell Hair has always been officious and a bit of a bully. He also loves being the centre of attention, specially in self-created controversies. Furthermore, he has repeatedly given poor decisions against Pakistan who had twice reported him prior to the oval test. Finally he has a history of mistreating Asian players, as Sri Lankans and Indians will only too readily testify, and should not have been umpiring in this series in the first instance. The ICC is an inept body that always sides with umpires despite the fact that nearly all of them make terrible blunders due to their failure to use technology. This attitude has led to mistrust of umpires which Hair has exacerbated by his disgraceful behaviour over the years. Pakistan, like all other teams, do try to alter the condition of the ball in order to produce reverse swing but are the only ones to have been labelled cheats over the years. When other teams do it, they are called artists. English bowlers destroyed the Aussies last year with reverse swing created by tampering with the ball in several ways, including sugary saliva, and were hailed as masters instead of cheats by the usually hypocritical British press and fans. It is highly unlikely that Pakistan were genuinely guilty of ball tampering in this instance as TV footage proved otherwise. Hair had no business going out on a limb, and calling Pakistanis cheats, because all other umpires would have made absolutely sure of obtaining video evidence, as is common practice in test cricket. Accusing a team of cheating is an extremely serious matter requiring plenty of evidence, and is not something that can be brushed under the carpet as an umpire's opinion as some devious Hair supporters have tried to do. As subsequent events and 500,000 reasons (dollars) have shown, Hair knew all along that his case was weak, and now everyone knows what a scheming, manipulative fellow this 'letter of the law' operator really is. Whether he is a racist as well is open to question but there are many white people still deluding themselves that they are a superior race. He may be one of them. What is undeniable, however, is that all sorts of Asian haters have come out of their closets in his support since Inzy and Pakistan decided to stand up to his bullying. My only sorrow is that nice guy Inzy did not challenge him on the pitch as most other Pakistani captains, and those of other nationalities, would have done.

Answer 5

We will find out hopefully on Sept 15 when the ICC sits about the ball tampering situation. I think there will be no evidence of ball tampering but Pakistan will be warned about not attending the final session of play. But it is a catch 22 situation for Inzaman, if no allegations for ball tampering were made there would be no reason for a mini demo. ICC need to tread carefully in the cricket minefield.

Answer 6

I wouldn't say that Hair "hates" Pakistan, thats a serious allegation to make.

I have no idea if it was true but to be honest I don't think an international umpire would have called them out about it if he did not at least have a really good suspicion.

Anyway, loads of people have been accused ofball tampering. Mike Atherton was accused back in 1994. Its not just an accusation they throw at "foreign" teams.

Answer 7

Sky sports was in hold of the coverage of the Oval test.
Sky had 24 cameras at that time, each covering a 15* (fifteen degree) of the ground.
Not even a single camera could catch the pictures of the Pakistani players tampering the ball, but a man standing at the stumps with glasses on did.
Isn't it hilarious?

Answer 8

The ball tampering is falls. Darrell Hair hates not only Pakistan, but all the Asian country's like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan etc.

Answer 9

I think it's highly unlikely this is racist - just a case of playing things absolutely by the book. The whole Hair problem appears to have come from this instance (and Pakistan's refusal to play left him and the other officials with no other course of action) and his no-balling of Muralitheran some years ago - bottom line then was that Murali WAS throwing under the laws of the game at the time - the Sri Lankan contingent here should be please that Hair in fact ended up drawing the ICC's attention to the problem with MM's action and his inability to fully extend his arm, allowing a rule change to be put in place which allowed Murali to continue bowling within the laws. Without that rule change Murali's action would still be illegal today.... I am appalled at the virulence of some of the previous answers here and have reported those who chose to throw personal abuse at Umpire Hair,

Answer 10

True or not. Hair is Suar Ka Bacha. This was not the way to solve this problem which is prevailing, since, Shrfsraz's time. He messed up with Murali issue, also. But Brett Lee is Dood- ka- dula.

Answer 11
