1 2 y separately published work icon In the Best Interests of the Game Darrell Hair , Pymble : Harper Sports , 2011 Z1816002 2011 single work autobiography

'In the fourth Test between England and Pakistan at The Oval in 2006, Darrell Hair's observations and charges of ball tampering against Pakistan led to the visitors refusing to continue the game.What followed more befits a John le Carré novelas administrators went into almost unfathomable damage control that eventually forced Hair into premature retirement. In the Best Interests of the Game presents Hair's version of the events surrounding Test cricket's only forfeited match.

'Away from the conflict, Darrell shares some more light-hearted and memorable moments involving his favourite players, games and crowds; he evaluates the introduction of the third umpire and reviews some of his other controversial decisions including the Muttiah Muralitharan "throwing" affair; and selects his best Test and ODI teams of the recent era.

'Unlike recollections of runs, wickets and anecdotes, this is a unique story that will leave an impact long after the current generation of umpires and players calls "time".' (From the publisher's website.)
