No longer a gentleman's game


After Hair's hairy incident at the Oval, cricket has ceased to be a gentlemen's game. A gentlemen's game needs to be officiated by the "gentlemen" umpires, and not by officials who show favouritism to the "first world" players and discriminate against the "third world" players.

The ICC needs to change its historical colonial mindset by getting rid of umpires who still act like colonial masters. It's the 21st century, and there is no place in cricket for umpires who are still living in the colonial past.

Time has come to move ICC headquarters to the east!
