Default ICC bans Darrell Hair from umpiring.

Darrell Hair, the Australian umpire who accused Pakistan of ball tampering during the Oval Test in August against England this summer, has been banned from umpiring in internationals. The announcement was made by Percy Sonn, the ICC president, at a press conference in Mumbai.

"The board has discussed this matter with great sincerity, lots of attention and come to the conclusion that they've lost confidence in Mr Hair," Sonn said. "They've given instructions to the management to discuss his future. It's a matter of courtesy to consult our management. He shall not be allowed to officiate at any further international games until the end of the contract."

It was widely rumoured yesterday that Hair's future was in doubt, when a reliable source at the ICC leaked the news to a TV station in India. "The Asian bloc comprising India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh tabled a motion at the meeting that Hair be taken off the panel," the source said. "The motion was put to vote and was passed by a 7-3 majority. The four Asian nations plus South Africa, Zimbabwe and the West Indies voted against Hair. England, Australia and New Zealand wanted him to continue."

Pressure from the four-nation Asian bloc has seemingly forced the ICC's hand and Hair will no longer be permitted to officiate in internationals involving any full member side.

Cricinfo - ICC confirm Hair banned from umpiring

What do you think? Fair decision?

I just hope this doesn't reduce confidence in other umpires.

It is absolutely fair and looks like ICC did not have a choice.

And look at the voting pattern - speaks for itself - as i said before Racism and Cricket go hand in hand.
The four Asian nations plus South Africa, Zimbabwe and the West Indies voted against Hair. England, Australia and New Zealand wanted him to continue."

Pressure from the four-nation Asian bloc has seemingly forced the ICC's hand and Hair will no longer be permitted to officiate in internationals involving any full member side.
PS: Thanks Params for keeping us posted.
