Craig HillThe Hair Controversy: What is cricket coming to?
August 28th 2006 14:05
It seems to me that this ugly incident is far from over. When you think things couldn't get any worse or more ridiculous... guess what? IT DOES! Now this time things have gone to extremes - Hair (stating in a letter to ICC chairman Malcolm Speed) wants a handsome $500,000 on the table just so he can quit? What the hell is that? This isn't some mafia gangster related, business corporation corruption here, we're talking about bloody cricket!
What is Darrell Hair thinking? Firstly, he thinks he wants to score 500,000 big ones just because he made a ludricous and scrupulous decision in a game cricket (what about all the doctors who have made mistakes which has caused death? They should get paid millions of dollars, but instead they just cop it on the chin). Wouldn't any one love to get paid for making a mistake. I mean who cares in the end... it was just a game of cricket!
And secondly he thinks he's going to get paid to quit! Any one out there who has to work damn hard for their cash week in week out would love their retirement payed for with half a million smackers in their bank account.
It gets better...
The letter from Hair states that he wishes 'a one-off payment to compensate for the loss of future earnings and retainer payments over the next four years'. And Hair's reasoning for the payment? Hair continues, 'which I believe would have been the best years [the next 4 years of his 'would've been' umpiring career] I have to offer ICC and world umpiring'. What a clown. If Hair was to umpire for another 4 years I think cricket as a sport would be destroyed by his stupidity and arrogance.
Seriously, Hair is a twit. Fullstop. Goodbye.
