Hair-A-Gone!
After a long time Im posting about my once favourite sport.. after the matchfixing row I have not been following the sport with the same vigor as I used to.
I am more neutral when it comes to this particular controversy involving Hair, even though I partially support this particular decision of Hair's and the Pakistani team being my least favourite team, I still believe that Hair has made many incorrect decisions in his career and does not deserve to be on ICCs elite umpires panel, a list from which he was omitted back in 2002, then reinstated the following year.
He according to many observers has been indifferent to Asian teams, subtly indicating that he is racist! Most of his controversial decisions have come against Asian teams- Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India (The infamous war of words with Kapil Dev). As a neutral observer I believe the decision was quite harsh.. but one still has to keep in mind that no team or individual is greater than than the game itself!
