If your true about duncan flethcer then what i said yesterday is when england do it its called an art great bowling when pakistan do it its cheating (reverse swing i am on about)
 
I hope i dont inflame things here but i expect hair did see something, otherwise why report it if nothing happned. That means that there is something seriously wrong with the game of cricket if we cant trust the officials to do what they think best. It was not so long ago in pakistan that afridi was caught on camera cheating, by scuffing up the pitch several times. Just another view.....

I believe this is the source: http://blogs.cricinfo.com/surfer/archives/2006/08/the_oval_debacl.php

One of the journalists it comments on said:

'The whole affair began, according to tales sweeping the Oval ground, when an England and Wales Cricket Board official went to the umpires' dressing room in the morning and asked them to watch out for ball tampering by the Pakistan players.'
 
Now this is a very interesting development indeed, if it's true then England are right in the thick of it.
 
Following are the major incidents against Asians which he has been involved

* Hair no-balls Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing on seven occasions during the Boxing Day test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 1995. Skipper Arjuna Ranatunga led his players off the field in protest only to return and bowl Muralitharan from the other end where umpire Steve Dunne was officiating.

* Hair describes Muralitharan's action as 'diabolical' in his 1998 autobiography, a charge which prompts the Sri Lankan board to ask the International Cricket Council to charge him with bringing the game into disrepute. He is stood down from a tri-nations series involving England, Australia and Sri Lanka and accuses Sri Lankan Board president Thilange Sumathipala of a 'smear campaign'.

* Adjudges Inzamam-ul-Haq run out by Steve Harmison in the second test against England in Faisalabad when the Pakistan captain seemed to be trying to evade the bowler's throw in Nov. last year.

* Hair and fellow umpire Billy Doctrove rule Pakistan bowlers have tampered with the ball in the fourth test against England at the Oval in August 2006. The umpires impose a five-run penalty for the infringement and decide the match is forfeited when Pakistan's players fail to return to the field in protest at the decision.

We didnt let the dignity of match to be affected at the time of incident. We let the match carried on until tea. We only lodged protest then as a collective decision not to take the field. Mr. Hair again took a hardened stance considering it as forfeiture. And along with Mr. Doctrove decided not to take the field when Pakistan team were convinced by ECB to do so.

All in all, we lodged the protest and were ready to play and so were the english team but the umpires were not up for it and the match referee could have replaced the umpires by the two reserve umpires available, had the ICC been not biased
