	Attack On Cricket Umpire Darrel Hair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hair is the first umpire to be cited under the code, stemming from his recently released autobiography.
		Hair outraged the Sri Lankans when he no-balled Muralidaran seven times for throwing during the Melbourne Test in 1995 and again when he said in his autobiography that he could have called him many more times.
		Hair described the spinner's action as diabolical, prompting the Sri Lankans to complain to the ICC that he had brought the game into disrepute.

		Hair is currently in England to be an umpire in the World Cup, which starts on Friday.
		Hair stood down from a triangular series involving the Sri Lankans in Australia earlier this year after writing in a book that he would have no hesitation no-balling Muralitharan again.
		Hair was unable to comment on the affair because of ICC regulations preventing umpires making public comments about anything other than rain delays, the newspaper said.

	Cricket Umpire Receives a Death Threat from LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hair received a letter from representatives of the Tamil Tigers who have fought a bloody civil war in Sri Lanka since the early 1980s in an attempt to gain an independent autonomous homeland in the northern regions of the country.
		Hair, unable to comment on the letter due to a tournament directive which forbids Cup umpires from speaking about anything other than basic rain rules, will fulfil his Cup obligations in spite of the letter.
		Hair, rated one of the top three umpires in the world, will not be given special protection during the Cup but security of all teams and umpires will be upgraded as a result of recent crowd riots in West Indies.

		Hair, 46, here to officiate in the upcoming tournament, reportedly received a letter, posted from the English town of Harrow, threatening his life.
		Hair became Sri Lanka's public enemy number one when he called Muralitharan, himself a Tamil, seven times during the 1995 Melbourne Test.
		Hair still believes Muralitharan throws the ball rather than bowls it, arguing his arm straightens illegally during delivery.

		Subesequently Hair, in his autobiography, described the off-spinner's unorthodox action as "diabolical" and the ensuing controversy did the umpire's cause no good when the original panel was unveiled.
		Hair, 50, has already stood in 44 Tests but Bowden (three) and Taufel (two) are both inexperienced in officiating in five-day encounters.Bowden has attracted particular publicity for the extravagant way he signals his decisions.
		Hair and Taufel's elevation means there are now three Australians on the panel while Bowden is the lone New Zealand representative.

		Hair threw a counter punch in a letter to Dave Richards, chief executive of the ICC.
		Hair, who in the letter also threatened to sue the Sri Lankan board, opted instead to stand down from all matches involving Sri Lanka in the triangular one-day tournament, also involving Australia and England, two winters ago.

	Cricinfo - Murali gets Hair to gel
		When after ten years Muttiah Muralitharan and Darrell Hair got together in the middle in Melbourne, it was a quiet and friendly affair with no hints of the MCG controversy that initially brought them so much notoriety.
		Hair's appointment for the second match of the Super Series revived memories of the previous meeting, but his hands remained clasped for most of Muralitharan's two spells, although he had to raise both arms when Adam Gilchrist slog-swept a six.
		Returning for three more overs at Hair's end, where he again bowled in partnership with Daniel Vettori, Muralitharan finished with a highly respectable 43 for 1, and was the most economical of the World XI bowlers as Australia went to pile up 328 for 4.

		A great big bear of a man, Darrell Hair was the first big-name umpiring casualty when the inaugural elite panel was announced in 2002.
		Hair, who had been on the original international panel since its inception in 1997, had ruffled too many subcontinental feathers - first by calling Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing in a Test, then by claiming in his autobiography that Murali's action was "diabolical".
		In his youth Hair was a handy fast bowler, playing for North Sydney and Mosman in the tough Sydney grade competition.

		In fact, Hair, the presence of the one, and the absence of the other, constitutes the major difference between then and now, Lara's 375 ten years ago and his 400 not out now.
		The fact is that while what is left of my hair was standing on end waiting for Lara to pass 380 and establish a new record, I was not all that scared because Hair was standing at one end of the wicket, adjudicating on the game, or umpiring as we know it in cricket.
		It was so close that any umpire, especially with the vociferous and victorious shout from the English cricketers, and the sound of a snick that could have been ball off bat and not just pad touching pad, might have given it.

		Pot stirrers in the media were disappointed yesterday when Harry (Darrell Hair) met Murali (not Sally, as in the movie) at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the England-Sri Lanka one-day international.
		Hair, the umpire who nearly torpedoed the freak Sri Lankan spinner’s illustrious career by no-balling him for throwing in the 1995-96 Boxing Day Test at Melbourne against Australia, found nothing wrong with the bowler’s action this time.
		The consensus of opinion is that there is no point in pursuing the vexed issue and trying to label Murali a “chucker”, especially since umpires in the Indian sub-continent have stoutly maintained that there is nothing wrong with his action, especially concerning his top-spinner.
