    This guy cracks me up, I think he is living in a dream world.

    Not only did his direct actions lead to the first forfeiture in 129 years, he tried to get $ 500 K for his resignation.....now he is trying another tack...what a joker
    He was discriminated against because of the colour of his skin.
    Hair is the top ranked umpire in the world, the ICC ranked him number one for accuracy and fairness. He was sacked because of the colour of his skin and i hope he sues the ICC and their masters, the Pakistani Cricket Board for Everything they have.
    Why not punish Doctrove? Why not go through the proper channels and take your grievance to the match referee, rather than acting like a fat, petulant child and crying and taking his bat and tampered ball and going home.

    Now, you may not think Hair is a genius, but he wouldn't do something that stupid. And Doctrove would have stopped him if he thought it ...[text shortened]... dealt with it after the game.

    Maybe Hair made a mistake, but Inzi's was deliberate.
    I'm telling you he had no evidence to support his decision..

    and as for the 5 runs, thats not relevent, what is relevan tthat the Pakistani team were branded cheats by Hair...

    Is anyone else aware that there was controversy following Darrell Hair's first ever test match. There were suggestions that LBW appeals by Australia were treated more favourably than those by India.

    Since then there have been numerous other controversies, mostly involving India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Darrell Hair is now accusing other people of racism, well he should know.

    Good one muppet.
    How come Aktar and that other bowler were not suspended for testing positive to steroids?
    Favouritism abounds in the upper levels of the ICC, all in the favour of Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka.

    I still can't see what all the fuss is about. Granted, since the event he has acted like a clown, but good on him for sticking to the rules of the game and not being pushed around by the Pakis.

    It was an absolute disgrace the way Inzi behaved and I think Hair did the right thing and I doubt any ot ...[text shortened]... field, but decisions and stuff) by Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan etc.

    It's becoming a joke.
    Your post is actually the only joke on this page.

    No he was not, his incorrect analysis of the situation leading to the match falling apart in the first time in history and as the lead umpire lead him to being banned. That coupled with no evidence.

    Its not the first time a nation has pointed out his actions which favour the other side, so if anyone does the discriminations, its him..

    His judgement is faulted, even trying to get 500 K from the ICC to quit ....this is just a shallow attempt to get money by him

    Why should they punish Doctrove ? He did nothing wrong, it was Hair that was calling all the shots.

    Why should the PCB be sued, it was the ICC that banned him, not the PCB.
