Cricinfo - Hair and Doctrove were right - Taufel

I have to agree with the Cricinfo post about the recent ball tampering allegations.  The two umpires followed the process and then followed it to the end!  Now I am not one to say much, I have had my share of dialogues with umpires in my time but in the end you walk away muttering (loudly) and get on with the game.  The ump makes his decision on what he sees!  The two umps would have checked that ball on numerous occasions through the game and if it started to develop odd wear then they took action.  So Pakistan just need to get on with the game and not react they way they did.  You can say what you like after the game and complain to the highest authorities but to not take the field after the tea break was to disrespect the game!  That is far worse than the ball tampering allegations!
