The Acceptable Umpire

There was a time, not so long ago, when the home board used to appoint the umpires. The visiting sides sometimes complained bitterly about the bias of the home umpire. That led to Imran Khan pushing for neutral umpires. It worked well most of the time until now. With the Hair saga and the forfeited match and Hair's ridiculous contention of racism against him the time has come for the next step: An umpire does not have to be neutral in the sense that he belongs to neither of the participating countries. He has to be neutral in the sense that both boards believe in his impartiality. So instead of the ICC appointing umpires for a series the participating countries should choose mutually acceptable umpires. The ICC should develop and keep a large pool of umpires from which the participating countries can then choose mutually acceptable umpires.
Let Australia and England pick Hair (not possible under current rules on neutral umpires since he is an Australian) for their ties against each other. Many there believe he is the best umpire around. That will take him out of the hair of other countries where he is considered biased and by some fans as racist (again in my opinion this is a stretch). That should make all the countries happy and Hair can resume his umpiring career at the international level.
