Speed hints that lack of video evidence won't absolve Pakistan

The Oval hearing scheduled for September 27 and 28

September 7, 2006

The hearing over the alleged ball tampering incident that led to the forfeiture of the fourth Test between England and Pakistan Test at The Oval will take place on September 27 and 28. Malcolm Speed, chief executive of the International Cricket Council, announced this in Mumbai on Thursday at a function to launch the Champions Trophy.

Speed, who had earlier addressed a similar function in New Delhi, said that Ranjan Madugalle would be able to chair the hearing at the end of the month. He also clarified that it was not entirely accurate to say that Pakistan would be cleared of charges of tampering simply because there was no evidence on videotape. "If video evidence was the only criteria, taking the analogy of crime, we would not be able to prove a lot of murders and half the jails would be empty," said Speed. "I cannot say much, except that there are other forms of evidence, and all will unfold at the hearing."

When pressed to explain what he meant by other forms of evidence, Speed said, "There is the ball, [the accounts of] other people who were present, and there's the umpires' version, which is the most important." This means that the testimony of Darrell Hair, the man in the centre of all the controversy, and Billy Doctrove, his colleague, could prove crucial should there be no evidence on tape. Mike Procter, the match referee, will also be a key player in the proceedings.

However, Procter has not exactly covered himself with glory for the manner in which he handled the events that unfolded, and Speed himself made this point. "The whole issue has gotten out of hand a bit," he said. "It should have been dealt with then and there by the match referee."

The pre-launch function for the Champions Trophy, due to be played in India next month, was held at the Cricket Club of India and was attended by several functionaries of the Board of Control for Cricket in India including Niranjan Shah, the board secretary, and Ratnakar Shetty, an executive secretary of the board. Milind Rege and Suru Nayak, former Mumbai cricketers, were also present.

ICC chief unhappy with remarks

Angry Speed issues warning to Inzamam

September 4, 2006

Malcolm Speed, the ICC's chief executive, has issued a terse warning to Inzamam-ul-Haq over making public comments about incidents at The Oval pending the ICC's Code of Conduct hearing.


"I have been very disappointed by some of the public comments that have been made by members of the PCB, team management and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq following the Oval Test," Speed said in a media release. "Over the course of the last two weeks there has been a stream of unnecessary and inappropriate public comment from the PCB, much of which could be seen as prejudicial to the pending Code of Conduct hearing.

"We have in place a fair and independent process for dealing with the matters that arose out of the Oval Test and all concerned parties will have an opportunity to present their evidence during the hearing later in September.

"Ahead of this hearing it is wholly inappropriate for officials or players to comment on the issues that will be addressed, particularly as the ICC Code of Conduct includes a specific offence of 'public criticism of, or inappropriate comment on, a match-related incident or match official'."

This raises the rather surreal situation in which Inzamam could find himself facing Code of Conduct charges for commenting on a Code of Conduct hearing that might turn out to have been directly caused by incidents for which he might be cleared.

But there was no doubting that Speed had had enough. "The acute international diplomatic and political sensitivity of this issue has persuaded me not to lay a charge to date but despite the exceptional circumstances I will not hesitate to lay a charge should further inappropriate public comments be made ahead of the hearing."

He added that this issue had been raised twice in the last ten days with Shaharyar Khan, the PCB's president, and that Mike Procter, the ICC match referee, had been asked to speak to the Pakistan team and management.

"There will be plenty of opportunity for Pakistan to put its side of the story in the fair environment of the Code of Conduct hearing," Speed concluded. "That is the appropriate forum for its views on these matters."

ICC set Inzamam hearing date


The International Cricket Council has confirmed that the hearing into the events of the fourth Test between England and Pakistan at the Oval will take place on September 27-28.


Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq faces charges of ball-tampering and bringing the game into disrepute after his side forfeited the match.

The two-day hearing will be chaired by ICC senior match referee Ranjan Madugalle.

ICC chief
executive Malcolm Speed confirmed the scheduling at a press conference in Mumbai to launch the ICC Champions Trophy.

Pakistan refused to take to the field at the Oval after the tea interval on the fourth day, angered by accusations of cheating by umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove, who applied a five-run penalty.

The umpires awarded the match to England, the first forfeit in the 129-year history of Test cricket.

Speed, who regretted the delay in the hearing, clarified that it was not entirely accurate to say that Pakistan will be cleared of ball-tampering charges simply because there was no video evidence.

"If video evidence was the only criteria, taking the analogy of crime, we would not be able to prove a lot of murders and half the jails would be empty," he said.

"I cannot say much, except that there are other forms of evidence, and all will unfold at the hearing.

"There is the ball, the accounts of other people who were present, and there's the umpires' version, which is the most important."

Speed, meanwhile, called on players to respect the decisions of umpires in order to safeguard the future of the game.

"What I am advocating is for players and officials to adhere to the ideals that this great game has been built upon for 300 years," he said.

"Respect for your opponents, respect for your own captain and team, respect for the role of umpires and respect for the game's traditional values.

"At the same time, it is against the spirit of the game to dispute an umpire's decision, to abuse an opponent or umpire, to appeal knowing a batsman is not out, to appeal aggressively or to distract a batsman."
