INZAMAM HAPPY TO FACE TRIAL BY TV
By Richard Gibson, PA Sport


Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has requested a trial by television following the ball-tampering row which triggered the forfeiture of the final Test against England.

Inzamam felt he had to lead a protest against the accusations of altering the ball's condition during the fourth day at the Brit Oval for his personal pride and that of his country.

Match umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove awarded England the game after Pakistan twice refused to come out of their dressing room following an extended tea break.

Now Inzamam is confident the lack of television evidence will boost his side's

cause at a meeting of the match officials on Monday.

"The main issue is not whether we went on the field, it's whether the ball was tampered with or not," Inzamam said. "It's very simple; there are 26 cameras from Sky Sports and nobody has picked anything up."

Australian umpire Hair signalled five penalty runs with England 230 for three, having conferred with Doctrove over the state of the ball.

"He didn't call me to tell me he was changing the ball, I personally went there and asked him why he changed it," Inzamam added.

"His allegation is mean. He is not saying what the allegation is, he is just saying your guys are cheating and my personal view is that the referees' meeting will show that the television is right as to whether there was anyone tampering."

Inzamam, 36, defended the sit-in which resulted in Hair and Doctrove decisively removing the bails seconds before 5pm.

"Respect and countries come first and if someone says to me 'you are a cheat and Pakistan are doing wrong things' my first priority is to my country," Inzamam added.

"I believe what I did was good for me and good for Pakistan. I believe 100% we are not wrong."

Inzamam also confirmed there is no animosity towards England and, asked whether Pakistan's tour would continue, he said: "Yes, I am fine with the one-day series."

Amazing thing is that if TV evidence can be used to discredit Pakistan, as in the past, then the lack thereof can be used by Pakistan to show their innocence and Hairs mistakes.

Good stuff from Inzi !!

There were 26 cameras at the ground today and if not a single shred of evidence is against Pakistan, then Hair will be humiliated like the fool that he is.

Proud of you , Inzi .... You've done the nation proud ; we have dignity and we must fight for it.
TV trial sounds like a brilliant idea.

Hair has got to be nervous... I have no sympathies for him... He has hurt us bad; Karma will haunt him for the rest of his life.

you can bet your life that sky will have gone through the footage with a fine toothcomb - if there was anyhting it would be out now - they could have had a media field day with the "proof" - but there will be none

TV evidence isn't the be-all end-all. There is still scope for a third party (i.e. not Inzy or Hair) to testify to what they saw (if anything).

Too true.

And Inzy wouldn't have pulled a bluff without Woolmer knowing about it.

It will be the height for injustice if ever there was one if Inzamam gets punished because of this.

Punish the victim some more.Wah Wah...

What the hell was Mike Proctor doing there while all this was going on?Was'nt he supposed to be in control of things?

It has been one full day and we do not have even a statement from Hair as to why he thought the ball was tampered.I find it outrageous that nobody from the ICC has even dared to ask him that question.

Brining the game into disrepute???Some nerve....

Great Going Inzi. It was least expected of you, and you've made us proud. Whether you play or not after that you'd be a hero

tv evidence is more credible then a person saying something. there was no signs of illegal activity from all 26 cameras.

No it is far more credible.

TV's can't lie. People can.

Inzamam requests public TV trial in ball-tampering/Disrepute case

Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has requested a trial by television following the ball-tampering row which triggered the forfeiture of the final Test against England.
