In the past hour or so i have read quite some views on the cricket controversy that arose in the test match yesterday. And all that reading has just made my resolve to back my team stronger. It is a shame the way Hair acted in the match. It is more of a shame that the match referee failed to play his part. It is much more shameful the way the chairman of the PCB tried to display the picture on the ground through his useless interview. The interview that he gave will prove to be the battering rod that will be used by the world to batter Inzi and his team and subsequently Pakistani nation.
I think two things are obvious. First that the flwaed management of the Pakistnai team is clear to everyone. There was no one in the leadership role and when inzimam tried to take a stand he was budged by the diplomatic bull shit of PCB board members.
Second thing that is crystal clear is the failure of ICC. ICC system failed to respond to the situation and the match referee did nothing. There were two spare umpires in the ground. they should have been used to continue the match. But all this is possible if a decision had been taken there and then. No such thing happened.
Then i would be ashamed by the way our chairman and the team acted. Had they decided to protest they should have done it the very instance Hair made the panelty. And once the decision had been made they should have left the field to never come back until the umpire took back his allegations and issued a full apology in writing.
I can't agree with Imran Khan more when he says in hios editorial that we must have made an even stronger protest. Hair is indeed a Hitler on ground.
I would back my team and want Hair not only off the panel of umpires but also made to issue a written unconditional apology to not only the team but the whole nation that he has so conveniently hurt.
Even his facial expressions when he was changing the ball expressed disgust and taunt. No self respecting team captain should take such an attitude and make the umpire pay.
Inzimam did the right thing. We should all back him. We should support him and hope that the team management doesn't in their bid to act moderates spoil this stand and our respect as a nation. There is nothing more important than the honour that we carry in our lives and no one has a right to be making allegations without any proof.
Inzi you are the man and we are with you.
More here, here and here.
