Subject: RE: BS: Pakistan forfeit test match
To be honest, Peter, while I do remember John Snow, I know nothing of the incident you refer to.
--------- Re the emails, I see they now have the exchanges here on the BBC site.
In all this speculation, I find Hairs opening:
From: Darrell Hair Sent: Tuesday 22nd August 2006 To: Doug Cowie Subject: The way forward
Doug, just to firm up what we discussed earlier this evening. I appreciate the ICC may be put in a untenable position with regards to future appointments and having taken considerable time and advice, I make this one-off, non-negotiable offer. [snip]
And the reply:
From: Doug Cowie To: Darrell Hair CC: David Richardson Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 Subject: Re: The way forward.
Darrell, Your offer may have merit and is acknowledged and under discussions with ICC management.
Your timeframes seemed impractical at first glance even if agreement were achieved on the suggestion.
Will discuss this further tomorrow, Doug
Interesting. Although Speed later got involved and said to Hair.
"The matters raised by you concerning your future employment are entirely inappropriate. There is a clear process that is to be followed and it is in place."
I do wonder what might have happened and would love to know what the initial converation between Hair and Cowie was and who did the initial suggesting that leaving may be the best option.
