you may have heard that england won the test series 3-0 despite getting tonked for the whole of the last test th is because for the 1st time in over a century the match was forfieted cos one of the teams wouldnt play after daryl hair (the umpire) made a shocking decision and acused pakistan of cheating, when he didnt actualy see anyone nor did the 30 cameras at the ground so pakistan refused to go back out after tea in protest so the umpires came out 2 the pitch n cancelled the game without telling pakistan who byt his time were ready 2 play but the umpire was now sulking and wouldnt go back out, and now the games been canceled so the hundreds of thousands of fans miss out cos one fat bloke was too stuck up to admit he made a mistake, im not happy.

wat does evry1 else think?

just get on with the game firstly pakistan didnt wnna play then the umpires refused to come out wtf

I personally think Inzamam is a fat overweight lazy !!! ... how can he take anyone to court when nothing is certain? Disgraceful tactics by Pakistan when they could of protested another way!
Were they trying to take the gloss of the English victory.

english victory? they had the match easily won, that wasnt the reason they forfeited and im pretty sure it wasnt inzamams decision, if ti was he would have tokk the team off when they were first accused, it was most likely the coach or a senior pcb dude

I mean the whole series to England as England had all ready wrapped the series victory up. They have probably taken the good work of the England players away by doing this.

ison if u knew the rules u'd ave seen that pakistan roughed up 1 side of the ball which iz illegal n so thats y daryl hair stopped the game. it woznt a shockin decision it woz the rite 1 u jus dont know the rules ison

I know! I can't believe he's on Pakistan's side after this!!!

HaHa! If u think thats a disgrace! U shud have seen thachers challenge on mendes! lol!

look, i know the rules, i also know that hair only presumed the ball had been scuffed up, there was no evidence of any palyer tampering the ball, none of the 30 cameras saw any suspiciouas behaviour in the 10 mins between cook geting out and hair calling 4 a new ball, which was wen the ball got scufedn if pakistan had tried to scuff up the ball y wer they still bolwing kaneria, the point of tampering the ball is to get reverse swing, if they had cheated theyd be bolwing shahid nazir and mohamed asif

That elbow on Mendes was awesome... Out of order but truly awesome. If it was a rugby league player he wudda got back up and hit that player.

I heard Thatcher could get prison for it but Mendes should be alriite.

Nah he wont go prison the police are investigating it they would only fine him though.

darrell hair looked @ the ball n saw a side had been roughed up the cameras dont ave 2 pick it up itz 4rm wat he (darrell hair) saw n if he didnt see enythin he wudnt ave called it

while we're on the subject of darrell hair i know where he lives lol

and........ lol, lmao the challenge on mendes was wicked, was it tue he started fitting cause of it?, when i first saw it i thought that he got booted in the b*lls lol, then i saw it again haha!, that was harsh!

If it was a rugby league player he wudda got back up and hit that player.

i doubt it as mendes was unconsious, he wasnt jst sulking

ino lol, that mde it even funnier...

The elbow was vicious but seeing as he was unconscious while he was sliding along the ground, he was really lucky he didn't break his neck on the ad boards. About 10cm further and I reckon he would've.

More scandal from Mr Hair....

EDIT - link isn't working just go on bbc sport it says that he offered to resign in exchange for some money
