Holding reasons that though Pakistan was innocent of ball -tampering, their refusal to retake the field should be punished.
Most of us will find no fault in his logic, as ICC by rescinding on its earlier decision to call the match a forfeiture, has opened a Pandora's box. From now on, ICC will be hard put to stop Test playing nations from contesting decisions on controversial Tests.
For starters, can the ICC stop BCCI from demanding that the Sydney Test to be treated as a draw?
