International Cricket Council (ICC) head honcho Haroon Lorgat is dismissive of match referee Chris Broad's conspiracy theory that the Sri Lankan cricket team's bus was intentionally delayed for seven minutes.

Lorgat said at a press conference here yesterday: "My first reaction is I do not believe that was part of a conspiracy. If that is indeed the case we are in for a very sad period. I think it is pure coincidence."

South African Lorgat also said Australian umpires Simon Taufel and Steve Davis need to be "more rational" about the Lahore terrorist attack.
