Pak asks ICC to change result of 2006 Oval Test

Karachi, January 11:: Pakistan has asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to change the official result of the Oval Test against England played in 2006.

England were declared winners after Pakistan forfeited the match on the fourth day in protest over umpire Darrell Hair's decision to penalise them for alleged ball tampering.

It was the first forfeited result in Test history.

"We have moved the application on the basis of the ICC dropping the ball-tampering charges against our team," said the official, who did not want to be named.

"The good thing is that England supported our plea and the matter was discussed at the executive board meeting of the ICC and than referred to the cricket committee for discussion".

So typical of sub-continent teams, never accept the umpires decision.

2006 Oval Test

It is only fair that the result should be made a draw. Umpire Hair was sacked for bad judgement and making false accusation. Therefore his verdict should be void. We have seen recently how the Aussie dominated ICC has been behaving. It is high time that our subcontinent stood up to the injustices and be counted.
