Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

The heated debate on Darrell Hair's decision has ended. The drama was started when Darrell Hair charged Pakistani "TEAM" of being involved in ball tempering. Inzamam (a lazy player ;) ) took late decision as usual and boycotted the match when he felt it is so shameful to carry forward with that match in which his whole team was declared a cheater and deceiver. :mad:

The Pakistani team in protest of wrong judgment by the umpire did not appear again at ground after tea interval and after that Darrell Hair took right decision and declared England team “The Winner” according to the rules. On Thursday, after a two-day code-of-conduct hearing in London, it was ruled that the ball-tampering claim was not proven. The point from where the confliction was come up.


1. It was declared that no offense is made by Pakistani Team. Inzamam was also got free from the allegation of being involved in ball tempering.

2. Blair will not supervise champions’ trophy. (Four matches Banned)

3. Four matches banned were also applied on Inzi on the conduct of misbehavior and in the involvement of badly hurting the reputation of the game.



Here the question arises:-

Who won or lost in this confliction?

1. Inzamum Ul Haque who cannot play next four matches?????

2. Darrell Hair who also cannot officiate champion trophy matches (Loss of four matches fee) and also will not supervise matches to be played in India and Pakistan in future (many matches fees)??? He was called boo boo (Greedy Person) in the public when he demanded 500,00$ for his compulsory retirement and compensation in lieu of loss of match fees.

3. Pakistan Cricket Board who spent lot of money on lawyers and came up with mix judgment.

4. England team who has lost the taste of winning of all three test matches in the public even the team has won the series? And no body is questioning the progress of Pakistani team.

To my opinion,

In the entire story, the ground man actually won the game, who met with match officials and fed the wrong info into the mind and succeeded in his plan.
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

Neither person won, i think both of them lost in a number of departments.

Nice little write up there Dr, but I am confused by what the last line is all about:

Who is this ground man you speak of?

Inzamam lossed more then he won. Some people say that he won the respect of the cricket world by standing up to the 'claims' of Hair but in my eyes he has greatly lost the respect of people for acting so childish by not bringing his side out. He could of come back out and continued on with the matter being resolved after the day's play.

With a 4 match ban, ruling him out of much of the Champions TRophy, the Pakistan team will be definately disadvantaged. They have lost their leader and a tremendous batsman. He is very lucky that he only got 4 matches, for being the main man behind the first forfieted test match he should of got a larger sentence without doubt. Overall Inzaman has lost more then he has gained.

For my mind Hair has been a controversial umpire his whole career, making those calls that the other umpires are "afraid" of making. When the ICC released those emails, it sealed his fate. I dont think that he will be umpiring any further matches for the ICC. He has lost the most out of the two easily.
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

i wouldn't have thought this was about "winning and losing".

It was essentially about the Cricketing world and how to deal with ball tampering and bringing the game into disrepute.
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

Hair made a rash decision and Inzi, a rasher one. Both were bad for the game. Inzi will hopefully learn that petulance is not the answer.
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

i don't think it really left a bd taste or dampened England's spirit, or their series win. if anything, it brought more attention to the series and put more people in the seats.
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

Finally this incident can be put to rest (not forgotten) and the powers that be can move on. One thing I applaud Mr. Hair for making the call he did in regards to the ball tempering even though it resulted in Inzi being found not guilty of the charge. The events that happened after i.e. the infamous email was very unfortunate and may have been premature. The fact that he was not afraid to make a controversial call shows guts. I just hope other umpires won't be afraid to do the same when they face similar circumstances.

As for Inzi, I'm sure he's learned his lesson (at least I hope so!). A four match ban is very lenient in my opinion and won't kill him. Sure he may be out of much of the Champions Trophy, but at least he will be available for the World Cup.

Yes that is also my point sir!

People are counting their victories in number of departments and I have tried to sumup those conclusions with little remarks being a journalist. My opinion could wrong.

Thank you


Who is this ground man you speak of?

On this very little is written, when england team was on the way of possible loosing the match, the ground officials to support their team met with match officials and feeded wrong info to take sympathies. Did you see, all of a sudden Darrell Hair took ball from the bowlers and without consulting the other umpir (consulted but forced him to take his decision) announced the judgement. In my opinion, keeping in view of D/Hair behaviour of showing greediness, he might taken the bribes from the england team / ground officials.

I don't think so, inzi has lost the respect. you are saying ok, gentleman you are big cheater but carry on with the match???

These persons lost on the following ground


1. Inzamum Ul Haque who is banned for next four ODI matches?????

2. Darrell Hair who cannot officiate champion trophy matches (Loss of many matches fee) and also might not supervise future matches to be played in India and Pakistan (Again Loss of many match fees for which that hungry man is sticking with his job and wants to remain “in”)??? He was called boo boo (Greedy Person) in the public when he demanded 500,000$ for his compulsory retirement as compensation in lieu of loss of match fees.

3. Pakistan Cricket Board who spent lot of money on lawyers and achieved mixed judgment.

4. England team who (after a gap of many decades) clinched test series 3-0 but their win gone completely overshadowed and forgotten by public and press.

5. Zaheer Abbas who has been removed from the Team Manager.

6. Waseem Akram, Imran, Javed Miandad and many others Pakistani fame players who maintained their policy of “opposition for the sake of opposition” by not siding with Inzi’s decision. According to them, if you have been declared a cheater without a clear evidence even then “No Problem”.


With a 4 match ban, ruling him out of much of the Champions TRophy, the Pakistan team will be definately disadvantaged.

I don't think so, Younas is a good captain and inzi will be replaced with a good one.

They have lost their leader and a tremendous batsman. He is very lucky that he only got 4 matches, for being the main man behind the first forfieted test match he should of got a larger sentence without doubt. Overall Inzaman has lost more then he has gained.

For my mind Hair has been a controversial umpire his whole career, making those calls that the other umpires are "afraid" of making. When the ICC released those emails,

That was the stage when malcolm speed stopped futher supporting...... this went paki favour.


it sealed his fate. I dont think that he will be umpiring any further matches for the ICC. He has lost the most out of the two easily.

I agree with you. If he has little courtesy left, he should resigned from ICC panel.

That was dispute, trial was conducted and judgement was came. There must be some looser or winner?
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

Darrell Hair hung out to dry yet again. The ICC shows no supprt again for their umpires. Why bother, the Asian Countries can do what they like it seems.

Heres to conspiracy theories
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

inzi got accused of a pretty serious thing in ball tampering, and then petulantly cracked it and refused to play like a 10 year old who's been given out, creating the first forfeit EVER in test matches... so for that i thought he got let off rather lightly...

meanwhile hair got his name raked thru the mud and there r question marks over whether he'l b able to umpire on the sub continent again...

i say inzi got the better of the deal by far, he should've been handed a much more severe penalty, and pakistan should've been fined as well for the forfeit business... and the problem now will be having seen the furore it creates, what umpire is gonna bother reporting players for ball tampering? its more trouble than its worth for them.

but then i spose if the whole thing had've been investigated properly instead of being paid lip service, we might've seen some real results
 
Re: Who won? Darrell Hair or Inzamam Ul Haque

Good on Hair standing up. The Pakis are always trying to do dodgy things in cricket like Afridi spinning on the pitch against England trying to rough it up. Poor sportsmanship.
