  • Pakistan Forfeit Fourth Test.

    I was listening to the cricket commentary yesterday and was hearing amazing events being described; something that has never happened in international test cricket previously...a team forfeiting a match; although in the case of Pakistan I don't think they actually intended to forfeit the match - just make a protest by remaining in their dressing room for a few minutes.

    This is what happened.

    The umpires were examining the ball and decided that the Pakistanis had been tampering with the seam, then signalled five penalty runs to be awarded to England and called for a box of balls to be presented to the batsmen for them to select a new one.

    Obviously the Pakistanis weren't very happy about so publically being accused of being cheats and refused to come out of their dressing room after the tea interval. After about fifteen minutes the two umpires and the English batsmen walked onto the field and went through the formal procedure of removing the bails to signal that the match had ended and England had won.

    Ten minutes later the Pakistanis then decided that they now wanted to play, but this time the umpires refused to come out because they had ruled that the match had already ended.

    Two hours of frantic discussions then followed whilst the crowd was kept in the dark all the time as to what was happening; those who weren't listening on a portable radio wouldn't have had a clue.

    It wasn't until seven o'clock that the crowd was informed that play had been abandoned for the day and ten o'clock until the authorities made a formal announcement that the match had indeed finished, and England had won.

    What a shambles! There's obviously a major problem with the rules of the game when a team accused of cheating has no other way of protesting its innocence than doing what the Pakistanis did. Of course, there are correct procedures to follow; but all of these take place after close of play and would not receive much publicity.

    There's a very simple solution to this problem. Any team that is in dispute with the umpires or the governing bodies should just take to the field wearing colored armbands and everyone will know that there's an ongoing dispute.

    I hope I've made things clear...I know not everyone is a cricket fan, but I feel I need to write about these events because they are totally unique and to me the solution is so obvious.
