    Remember the game where Pakistan refused to come out and play on the 4th day because they were unhappy with the umpire so they lost the game - a common theme in any sport - walk of the pitch and you forfeit the match

    The ICC are about to change the result and reclassify as a draw. I cant think of a more ridiculous thing to do

    in any sport if you refuse to play the match is lost

    cricket players take to the field knowing the umpires are boss and their decision is final, but as soon as they are accused of something they stage a protest?

    disgraceful by the ICC

    Especially if they dont agree with a decision

    What about if we had walked off when playing Liverpool under the fair refereeing of Mr Willard - much worse than Hares performance against Pakistan. an extra point or 2 could have made all the difference regarding staying up or not
