[aussie1st]

DARRELL Hair, the umpire at the centre of the Pakistan Test ball tampering controversy, offered in a letter to quit in return for $US500,000 ($658,000), the International Cricket Council said today.

ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed told a news conference Australian Hair was under great stress when he wrote the letter.

"He had no dishonest, underhand or malicious intent," Speed said. "He was seeking to find a solution in the best interests of the game."

Guess it would solve any major problem we would have in the near future.
I just hope we solve this situation quick and move back to playing cricket.

As it stands he isnt going anywhere. He has said he was under great stress when he wrote the letter and was seeking to find a solution. He has since revoked his message.
