what i dont get is this.

they're accusing pakistan of ball tampering - yet no evidence of how or more importantly who has been produced - if the dirt in the pocket can be caught a few yrs ago then y wasnt this?

the ref made some errors himself in that he wasnt willing to show the damage to the ball to the pakistan team nor was he willing to explain his initial decisions. he later did relent but by then the damage had been done.

what pakistan did wasnt right - they shud've lodged the protest now after the game not during it - but the ref isnt clean in all of this either.

wasim akram and waqar younis in the 90's was accused of cheating but due to the sheer pace of the ball and the then unknown art of reverse swing was always labelled a cheat. and from this the pakistan team did rather wrongfully get the label of cheats in the british press
