A very good read - thanks for putting it together. LOL at Javed's suggestion that he went out of his way to hold up the match for any reason other than to protect his side's 1-0 lead in the series.

Not that the TCCB came out of the affair with any credit whatsoever.

Great Article and very informative . Writing on such controversial issues is not easy, kudos for being fair to both sides of the story.

I do think there was biased home umpiring but I also feel that the visiting teams along with their press did over play the biased aspect to hide their own shortcomings. My father still goes how we were robbed of a series win in WI in 88 with the same happening in NZl in 85 and also in England during the 82 tour.Neutral umpires have atleast eliminated this type of whinging from the modern game.
