Fair point Mani.I have to disagree[not for the first time] with Ossyclogger:,taking a lighthearted and sarcastic view is not always appreciated. Cricket is a serious sport to those of us who follow it and I object to all umpires being branded as useless.Maybe Mr Clogger would like to mention that to my Dad next time they meet as he held the Lancs League Umpire prize for a number of years.The fact of the matter is that we have seen no evidence of ball tampering,we have to rely on the umpires judgement;and their judgement should be final.
I can see that there maybe doubt over the ball tampering issue but the fact that Inzy refused to take the field may leave him open to the disrepute charge.But this has now become a politically sensitive issue and I very much doubt if we will get a clear cut decision.
