R Mohan, writing in the Deccan Chronicle, wonders how the ICC let off Darrell Hair so easily, the man at the centre of the ball-tampering row at The Oval:
There have been too many holes in the manner in which the so-called elite umpiring system has been run by a section of the ICC. The Hair imbroglio is a rare instance in which it got its comeuppance. And it was not Asian money and clout that swung the verdict this time as much as the blatant unfairness of one man’s actions being exposed cruelly by expert witnesses and the forensic examination of the ball in question.
