Mfarhanonline Sports News SYDNEY: Australian umpire Daryl Harper has sacrificed his last test appearance and decided to stand his ground over accusations he leveled against the India cricket team. The ICC however remains silent over Harpers accusations.
Harper had to leave cricket one day but he is not at all satisfied with the way he had to leave. He has held the Indian cricket team responsible for this and has accused them of bullying, stressing that he took this step because someone had to speak out against the Indian cricket team. The ICC has remained silent despite the public accusations made by Harper.
Indian captain M.S. Dhoni condemned Harpers performance during Indias first test against the West Indies and said If the correct decisions were made the game would have finished much earlier and I would have been in the hotel by now.” Despite raising his voice against the ICC umpire, not even a warning was issued to Dhoni. To hide their mistake and support India at all costs, ICC said that when the incident took place Harper did not report it.
ICC Chief Executive Haroon Logart said he had always supported Harper and it was unfortunate things ended the way they did. He added that he could not help Harper when he had to sacrifice his last Test appearance over the insistence of the Indian cricket team.
This is not the first time the Indian team has had differences with umpires and match referees and has always managed to come out on top. Experts add that if Harpers accusations are not taken seriously than Indian players will turn the game into a joke.
