Quote:Harper revealed in an email he sent on Thursday that Dhoni had pressured him during the match after the official had removed a young Indian bowler from the attack for repeatedly running on the wicket.
"The Indian captain had the temerity to say, 'We've had issues with you before, Daryl'," he said. "I didn't ask him to elaborate but I'm still puzzled as to what those issues may have been."
Quote:However, his claims that India players are treated differently by the ICC have been repeated by others in his position.

May be an old story but it's still appropriate in today's context. Actually it's been a well known fact in cricketing circles. Harper was not the best of umpires but still the ICC should have backed him as one of it's employees.
