If it’s proven that England cricket teams coach Duncan Fletcher according to a report was involved in triggering the ball tampering row that erupted at the Oval last Sunday, then the context of the whole saga can undergo a massive change. But if this is not the case then surely whatever happened at the Oval, one of Pakistan’s happy hunting grounds in England for years, was not welcomed in any quarter of game all over the globe. The Pakistan team had already played the Headingly Test under a cloud of some highly objectionable umpiring decisions from Darrel Hair and his West Indian partner Billy Doctrove, and therefore, the Oval incident was perhaps more than what Inzamam ul Haq and company could tolerate. With England under pressure at 298/4 in their second innings, still 33 behind Pakistan, at the tea break on the fourth day, one could imagine the Oval controversy would result in a unique row in the 129-year history of the Test Cricket. Cricket like any other widely popular sport, has been a source of creating and developing a better and more cohesive environment in the world of humans with different cultural backgrounds and the Oval like incidents really cause a big setback in this regard. And now the fundamental question is who is basically responsible for this undesirable incident, after all. One feels while following logic, that if the behind the cover fact are not fully known then the mind would always naturally incline towards the observable and recognized realities related to the matter. The Inzmam ul Haq, in an interview just after the Oval Test, asked the authorities concerned to show the ball which Hair suspected to have been tempered by the Pakistan. In the media. He also emphasized the point Hair had change the ball and imposed five runs penalty with out consulting the on field captain. If Inzamam and /or any of his players involvement in ball tampering are proven then the player concerned should duly be penalized according the ICC rules and regulations. But the query is: Had Inzamam and his team had been involved in any sort of ball tampering activity, then why Inzamam would challenge Hair to substantiate the accusation? Hair, who has stubbornly maintained his posture after the Oval fiasco, has been under the limelight over the years though for all the wrong reasons. It is simple that Hair and Doctrove have charged Inzamam for bringing the game into disrepute besides indicating him for ball tampering. But if a human being who has possessed a clean career both on and off the field for the last 15 years, is charged for any wrong doing without the availability of any solid evident, isn’t it an indirect act of bringing a spotless human being into disrepute.
