Darrel Hair
Darrel Hair continues to find new and innovative tactics to find his way on to cricketing headlines. Darrel just can’t seem to keep away from the limelight. The new and improved Darrel is trying to sue the Pakistani Cricket Board and the ICC (International Cricket Board) for alleged racial discrimination. No mean feat you say? Not in Darrel’s books. If I remember correctly, this is the same individual who tried to bribe the ICC for 500 thousand dollars last year.
In raising this very contentious issue, I’d like to point out that I am not having a dig at Darrell’s ability to umpire but more so his credibility as an umpire. An umpire that represents the whole cricketing fraternity. This is simply another scam where Darrel will do his utmost to weasel funds from the ICC and the Pakistani Cricket Board.
I’m not sure what the average pay for an umpire is these days but it does not seem to be enough for our good friend Darrel. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Shame, Shame Darrel! He should be banned from umpiring and sent into early retirement. He is a money hungry individual that is bringing the game into disrepute.

I would hardly say he's bringing the game into disrepute (theres a now meaningless cliche if there ever was one), but umpires suing governing bodies isn't exactly great publicity.
Perhaps he should be suspended from international duty for a while to cool down.

He should definitely be suspended though and maybe even go into counselling for a little while, the poor guy has lost his marbles.
