But since there was no direct evidence to prove the fact, a chat after the match with the Match Referee, expressing his concern over the condition of the ball, would have been a more diplomatic approach. Otherwise Pakistan is not new to such allegations. They have always found a short cut to victory, using the back door. Shoib Akhtar should have been booked in 1999 World Cup itself, when his fingered and nailed the ball. The whole administration was sleeping with their eyes wide open, all in the name of diplomacy.

And somehow he always seems to pick on subcontinent teams. Murali's action (however suspect) has been repeatedly cleared by ICC over the past decade. And yes the ICC is a bloody joke ! Anyway, this week promises to be super interesting man. Lets see what happens. Yeah, Hair is a bloody moron. And somehow he always seems to pick on subcontinent teams.

I hate him for what he did to Murali. The ICC is a joke..how many test playing nations are there anyway ? Last i checked Zimbabwe was chucked out and Bangladesh was stripped of test status.
