How should the ICC tackle this problem?

Hilarious. I appreciate you people's way of connecting things with the BCCI and the IPL so sweetly and with so much confidence. But then English is your first language, isn't it? Well, let's not debate about useless things. Let's go directly to your question.

pretty sure that's why there are no Indian umpires caught up in this....yet...

The reason is there are no Indian umpires officiating in International matches currently. The string operation was conducted with a view to know the umpires' willingness to fix the matches in the T20 WC. Since there were no Indian umpires who even had distant possibility of officiating there, they were left out of the screen. Don't think India TV will excuse Indians. Indian media, especially India TV, is always looking for fame, no matter who their target is. This particular channel is a total rubbish in terms of news. It was established on the basis of string operations and will create new sensations by string operations only. There's no other creative way they can be popular apart from that.

Talking about Hair? What the fcuk. Had Simon Taufel or any other international umpire (apart from corrupt Bucknor) said that, your question would have hold some importance. I suspect Hair himself is involved in match fixing. That's why he straightway targeted IPL because that's the most easiest thing to do in current prospects.

"But to be fair, all the guys I umpired with at international level I think were pretty much above board."

How could he say that? Did the other umpires consulted him while fixing the match?

"Some games were going along perfectly well and then all of a sudden all hell breaks loose, there is a flurry of wickets and all of a sudden you have lost a game that you were comfortably winning."

That's childish. Hasn't this sort of thing happened when the non sub continent were involved? hasn't Australia ever collapsed dramatically?

Nothing. Hair is simply trying to focus the media's attention towards IPL because he is not considered "capable" of officiating there. Whatever anyone says, people are hungry for money and IPL provides them with that.

Edit:

I agree Hair is an experienced umpire and knowledgeable too but that doesn't make him unbiased. His decisions always affected the Asian teams be it the 2006 Lord's test between England and Pakistan or Murali's no balling. He no balled Murali seven times in 3 overs for throwing. He should have instead reported to the ICC first. Then later when Murali was cleared by the ICC, Hair termed his bowling as "diabolical". Now that's certainly not a word to be used by a professional umpire for a professional cricketer.

Edit:

I again agree with you at some extent. Yes, the rules were changed after the bio mechanical tests done upon Murali but it would be unfair to him to say so. Actually, that was the first ever time any bowler went through such intensive bio mechanical tests. The result that came out was no bowler can bowl without bending his arm below 5 degrees (the existing rule). That was why the rule was changed. It was not changed for Murali but he was only a medium.

I don't think sanctioning any particular national team on the grounds that bribes are originating from that country can rationally solve anything.

It would be the same as suspending the English team and the ECB because English bookmakers were receiving "match reports" before the game (as has happened in a number of high profile incidents). Punishing the innocent is never a particularly effective way of attacking the guilty.

As I said earlier in response to Binga's Q, the mandatory use of DRS would act as a massive disincentive to approach umpires. The Indian board may be against it at present due to concerns over technological limitations, but this recent incident may prompt them to reconsider DRS as now being the lesser of two evils.

There is a problem regarding umpires, especially at the IPL level. The news stories have said that those under investigation come from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh (Cricinfo and Foxsports News). The common denominator was that it happened in India. As this appears to be the case, the BCCI should be investigating and reprting to the ICC. That would be the expected procedure. That the ICC has become involved so soon does raise questions.

Only a racist person can get agree with Daryl Hair? lol

They can implement new laws

icc could not tackle this prob..
