They may not have seen anyone actually tamper with the ball, but in their opinion this was the cause of the change of condition.
and they were wrong to think that as they didn't actually see that and, when asked, refused to comment on it cos they didn't have any proof. you can't just accuse someone of "cheating" without actually having proof. and if someone had cheated, why wasn't that player kicked off the field?

Perhaps it would have been better if they had just changed the ball as no longer fit for use.
i see your thinking, but then the question would be "why wasn't it fit for use?" and then they would end up going round in circles.

i hope the investigation humiliates the umpire although, to be fair, just showing the "quality" of his decision making is enough to do that.

i do think the PCB is wrong to say they won't play with him as the umpire again. i can understand it(or quite frankly why any team would refuse to play with the idiot in charge) but you can't just do a "juve"(and a certain other club) and get the officials you want for a match

sorry, going off on one again. just love controversy in sports
