Darrel Hair the Australian Cricket Umpire(Ref) at the center of a huge row overshadowing World cricket (Thats baseball that is played correctly for you yankiiiieess).
Basically the Umpire accused teh Pakistan national team of cheating in the middle of the gameand changed the ball they where using. Pakistan then refused to come out after the interval so he awarded the game to England.
While tecnically correct to do what he did, it's generally acepted in cricket that the Laws of the game are applied with common sence and to accuse a team of cheating when you don't attually see them cheat is not very sencible.
To make matters worse it would appear that he has basically tried to bribe the world govening body by acting as a fall guy so long as the front up with the cash.
The cricket world is devided into the lawyers, who site the Laws of the game and the appologists, who point out you should accuse people of things you can't prove.
It's a storm in a teacup, but us Brits put alot of pride into our teacups!!

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

You mean extort. If he were bribing them he would be giving them money not asking for it.
Not enough scandel though. Need to have steroids in the tea or something to rival baseball.
Do the players take steroids in cricket, too?
