The bottom line is ICC sees him as one of the best umpires in the game, which he probably is. The calls he made against Inzy or Murali, while uncommon, completely followed the rules. In my opinion, I'm surprised more umpires don't do it, but I assume tey just don't have the coconuts.
With Murali he has been cleared, but it took years, so it was obviously not a clear-cut case. Even so, many people around the world still believe he is a chucker. Sure, he's got an elbow problem so he can't straighten his arm properly, but umpires don't take medical history into account when making calls.
Inzy has been cleared of ball tampering on the basis there wasn't enough evidence to prove his guilt. That's not saying he was innocent. It's just saying they don't really know. Hair did exactly what umpires should do in the situation - report the incident (and if the player is innocent, nothing comes of it) and changing the ball, something which is done regularly in cricket. Inzy is the one that made his team forfeit the game and he deserves to be fined for bringing the game into disrepute. That's hardly a gentlemanly quality. Let's face it, if every team forfeited if they thought the umpire was against them, we'd never finish a game.

Yes i am totally agree with you. He is a baseless umpire i have ever seen. He has made his decisions always aginst Asians, but he made him self popular by making issues of un worthy matters.
However it is shame that ICC is still giving him a chance. If I were a committee in ICC He should be in baseball instead of cricket. Big Shame for ICC!

Considering hair's Oval issue only, I think he hs NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG. He was only following the rules. The blame has to be taken by the MATCH REFEREE who watched the fiasco from the sidelines like us.

Yes, certainly, they are in a bad need of a 'Hair Cut', but what to do, they don't have a trimmer which can cut that Hair. Only a village 'Naai' (barber) from Asia can do that.

Yea, but I heard that it was Inzamam's problem. He did not play the match after the problem. I don't think it is Darrel's reason.
