That match in question ended when Darrell Hair, acting on a half-baked hunch and an overcooked sense of his own importance, called the match off.

He had deducted five runs from Pakistan because he had, you know, a sort of feeling that they were tampering with the ball. The Pakistan team had a bit of a grump during the tea interval and were late in coming back out. Both teams were ready to carry on: the spectators were ready to watch, the viewers were ready to view, the commentators were ready to comment, the press were ready to write, but Hair was not ready to umpire. So he called the game off and awarded it to England.


What a load of shit ....

Quite a lot of (half-)baked beans.
