Fourth Test
The previous revision of this section had a whole heap of allegations not supported by the cited article (eg: Hair did not inform the Pakistanis of any changes in the field, Hair directly insulted Inzamam and called him a cheat) and editorialising (eg: Hair's actions violated etiquitte) reported as fact. I've modified it to reflect that the article is quoting allegations made by Inzamam, who appears to be saying that Hair's actions carry an implied accusation of cheating, rather than actually quoting Hair verbatim.

 * The issues raised are emotive. Yet we need to report what happened neutrally. That means we need to keep away from implying that the Pakistanis or the umpires are cheats. The facts are straightforward: both umpires believed the Pakistanis had engaged in ball tampering; the Pakistanis strongly refute that; the umpires awarded the game to England after Pakistan did not resume play; some time after the umpires awarded the game, and after discussions with David Morgan and Mike Procter, the Pakistanis made it clear that they did want to resume play, which the English were also willing to do; the umpires then refused to come onto the pitch as the game had already ended when they decided to award England the game. We should stick to these facts. Which parties are to blame for what happened, we do not know (though we may well have opinions on). So which parties are to blame should not be covered in the text, jguk 16:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Ball tampering - the wording
As people may note from law 42 of the game, and indeed the official responses yesterday have referred to ball tampering (which is a colloquial term) as its correct name of unfairly (or illegally) altering the condition of the ball. Should we not refer to it as such in the section Fourth test and have a link such as unfairly altering the condition of the ball for this is the more accurate term? --M0RHI 17:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd wait for someone with a bit more importance than me to say something, but for now I agree. Nic the Man 11:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
