Darrel Hair’s Reinstatement

Indeed the news of reinstatement of the controversial cricket umpire Darrel Hair has come as a bombshell to millions of cricket lovers all across the globe.
With those having a weak memory by default, please note the following: 1)It was proved beyond any reasonable doubt that he was wrong while adjudicating during many first class, ODI and cricket test matches on number of occasions in the past, both on and off the field.
2)It was also proved in black and white that his dubious on-the-field decisions were always given in favor of certain teams hailing from the so-called "Western World"
3) The whole world saw his dictatorial behavior, naive attitude and one-sided action at the Oval in that "historic" match proving his incompetence and unfair characteristics which are by far, unbecoming of a true test level, international cricket umpire.
His reinstatement proves that "Might is Right," the jungle law still prevails not only in the Western capitols but also at the current ICC Headquarters in Dubai-UAE.
