What a Joke ? ICC has No Credibility left after taking this step.
It is becoming more and more difficult to understand the behaviour of ICC ? what is their reasoning behind allowing Mr. Hair to officiate selectively once again ? I wonder are they trying to please Australians after they made a mess in Ind-Aus series or they don't have any umpires left ? They have just now removed Mr. Bucknor from Australian series and now this new controversy with Mr. Hair ? If they continue like this, soon you will have a situation where every elite umpire shall not be able to officiate against XYZ country because for one or another reason, he shall not be elite enough to represent all the test playing nation. What a Joke ? I think ICC is in a situation where they want to please every one but in the end NO ONE is happy with them. I suggest they should look into their acts themselves and follow simple principal. Do what is to be done, even if the whole world is not happy coz sooner or later you will have honest reputation and then every one shall be happy.
I wonder why since last few years countries from the sub continent love to have a coach from foreign soil. GK ( Gary Kirsten ) seems to be a talented cricketer but he will be tested in his first series. His love and admiration for SA is very obvious from his comments. I wonder how it feels for someone who has played for a particular country for the entire life and then to come and coach another country against your own countrymen in the name of professionalism. What I feel is that it does not work. Cricket is about passion of players to play and win for their country and to me an outsider how much ever professional he is comes across a spoil sport. Sorry GK you have to prove yourself to get love from indian crowd otherwise you will be another GC in making .
National team of cricketers from Australia and India can learn something from some young emerging under five cricketers playing on the roadside next to my house. I think these under five kidz concentrate more on their game and know how to win and how to accept loss with grace. I cant believe BCCI and CA are acting as parents of some spoilt brats in their house. The frustration of Australian players and board is very obvious in their letter to BCCI. After Autralia started all this now they say " Enough is Enough " I hope this series is a long term lesson to Australia. Excess of everything is bad and eventually it backfires. I hope you guys learnt a lesson and dont repeat your mistakes in the future. Australians, If you are Champ show us with your bat and bowl and bit of Modesty and Grace. Otherwise even after doing so well for so many years playing hard cricket you will never be able to get respecy from cricket loving fans across the Globe.

What is the relation bertween India having a full time non indian coach and Indian team performing so badly ? It is happening too often to call it co-incidence. BCCI, Selectors from indian side, can you answer this ?
