LAW 42.3c (FAIR AND UNFAIR PLAY):"It is unfair for anyone to rub the ball on the ground for any reason, interfere with any of the seams or the surface of the ball, use any implement, or take any other action whatsoever which is likely to alter the condition of the ball."
Pakistan forfeited the fourth Test at the Oval against England by initially refusing to take the field after tea in response to being penalised for ball-tampering. It was the first time in 129 years that a Test had been conceded by forfeit.
The Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute and changing the condition of the ball. A hearing will take place on Friday.
This is bad for cricket...Umpire Darrell Hair has accused Pakistan of ball-tampering (aka cheating), using only his judgement. However the judgement of the umpires is FINAL.
