No-one will ever know if either or neither of those are true. There is absolutely no way we can say with great confidence that Darrell Hair was biased against Pakistan (or Sri Lanka for that matter). It's possible he may have been, and certainly he gave both sides legitimate reason to believe he was, and I don't blame players from either for believing such a thing to be true.

But there is no way we can say that he is beyond doubt, as some Pakistan fans like to think we can.

no one is ever going to kno cuz he is never going to admit i think thats common sense and like you said he gave enough reasons to believe he was being biased against pak, so i think no one can fault pak fans believing that way.
but i think i can easily identify honest mistakes from purposfeully giving incorrect decisions so yeah.

The phrase 'conclusive enough' gives the impression that you feel you are right despite a certain amount of doubt you admit. Conclusive in itself means without any doubt, but through suggesting that it is 'enough' you concede it is inconclusive.

yh but you could tell i used enough not cuz i wasnt sure but more like to emphasize my point so incorrect maybe but its like common sense

It made your point slightly rhetorical in that you conceded doubt well claiming their was none. Basically saying it was inconclusive but you thought he caught it. And it being inconclusive is half the point. :ph34r:

People can't fault Pakistan fans for disliking the idea of him standing in their Tests, but they can be faulted for claiming "that racist biased Umpire Hair" and similar nonsense, as there's no way to even establish that it's likely, never mind certain.

Sensible minds can deal with and try to remove suspicion without resorting to childish behaviour.

Yeah I don't think it was a race issue, could be that the Pakistani team just tend to have come off as prats in recent times. Some of them anyway.

I'm not talking about this incident in particular but the Pakistani team has a few pre-madonna's in it or did. Hair was most certainly in the wrong IMO in this matter but I don't think it was because he was racist.
