Hair's back umpiring

[King]

Umpire reappears in Mombasa ICC appoints Hair to stand in internationals Cricinfo staff January 13, 2007 Darrell Hair will make his return in Mombasa next week ? Getty Images The ICC has appointed Darrell Hair to stand as an official umpire in the triangular one-day series in Mombasa involving Kenya, Scotland and Canada which starts next week. In November, Percy Sonn, the ICC president, announced that Hair would "not be appointed to international matches involving ICC Full Members". He added: "The board has discussed this matter with great sincerity and gave lots of attention to it and they've come to the conclusion that they've lost confidence in Mr Hair." The announcement came from Cricket Kenya and a spokesman from the ICC told Cricinfo that there would be no formal media release until Sunday. The ICC added that this news did not represent an about-turn in policy from the board, insisting that Hair is still banned from officiating in any matches involving Full Member sides. The Kenyan authorities said the other on-field umpires were Ian Gould (Eng) and Buddhi Pradhan (Nepal) while the match referee would be Javagal Srinath. Wonder why the ICC that initially didn't want to use him are now falling back on him? Are they scared of Hair or is the English and the Aussie establishment having a say in his reappointiment?

So that vote in mumbai has no bearing anymore........

that was only to keep of the main internationals involving the main ICC members according to wording, apparently. looks like this is a way for the ICC to not let the guy sue him and let him make some money.

fair enough.. anyway in a world where a druggi can play umpires who technically did nothing wrong should not be thrown into oblivion..
