My few cents.

Re. Shoaib, I'll go with Piranha here. The Pakistani umpire was not standing at the time. The ball would have been in posession of the neutral umpires during the lunch break. So any ball tampering done during the lunch break can be ruled out. Though the theory sounds interesting, we need more evidence. Innocent until proven otherwise.

As for the pitch issue, is the Daily Star report a result of just some guess work or do they have anything to back it up with ? Going by some of the recent reports from DS posted here, its credibility does not seem all that high.
