Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
All cricketing fans across the world must have finally reached some closure after the ball tampering fiasco at The Oval a few months back. Strong rumors reports to the extent that Cricinfo, a leading website on cricketing news, have announced that the ICC is seriously contemplating on removing Darell Hair from adjudicating any international cricket match in the future.
A source has been quoted to have revealed that the Asian bloc comprising India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh tabled a motion, at the ICC meeting in Mumbai, that Hair be taken off the panel. The motion was put to vote and was passed by a 7-3 majority. With South Africa, Zimbabwe and West Indies supporting the motion and England, Australia and New Zealand going against it. The matter which has yet to be discussed is how much compensation would be accorded to him for an early termination of his ICC Umpiring contract which we hope its not anywhere close to the $500,000 that he wishes for.
His termination is probably sweet revenge for all Pakistanis and could potentially close the matter for good but the devilish side of Teeth Maestro prompts me to write, that closure can only be brought once the PCB take Mr. Hair to court severely offsetting any ICC compensation or even any proceeds from a book that he will probably write on his heroic attempts to bring the game in disrepute.
How dare he mess with us Pakistanis

[...] With great satisfaction I would like to report that the Darrell Hair saga continues. It seems that ICC desperately has the urge to employ Darrell Hair on its umpiring panel, as it has just recently announced that Mr. Hair will officiate the triangular one-day series in involving Kenya, Scotland and Canada. He was expelled from the ICC Elite Umpiring Panel a few months previously as the ICC members had lost confidence in him completely, hence prohibiting him to officiate any match which may involve the full members.
