Hair is on a contract, unless he breaches teh contract, they must pay him untill the end of the contract. His offer is quite , legal , quite ethical and usual, he will accept a present sum against his future earnings.
This of course contrasts with the Pakistani admission that they for decades accepted bribes.
Hair confered with his BLACK fellow umpire who concured that the ball was picked. This is teh same thing that Atherton a WHITE cricketer was fined for, and of course this isnt the first time Pakistan has been pulled up for ball tampering. The Pakistani captain as the manager admited made a mistake in staying out of play for too long. A mature capatin would protest to the the match umpire or teh ICC. Hair would know that the ball would be later be examined by the ICC.

Raja, I think by the umpires at the senior level no, I think that Hair as an Australian might hate the traditional English enemy. I think that the bowler that Hair no balled before had a very very suspect action, Someone should have examined it before, Hair showed he had balls (hairy balls?) by being the person who said this needed to be examined. I think that if Engalnd or New Zealand did something against the spirit of the game or the rules Hair would go them as hard if not harder than he Did Pakistan. I saw the black umpire look at the ball and agree with Hair. It may well turn out there is nothing wrong with the ball, but that doesnt mean Hair got it wrong, he is there to query things like this, however Hair has had years and tear at being an umpire so has the other umpire, they BOTH saw something. I dont think they did it for racist reasons. I do belive that India, Lanka or Pakistan if they need to win would play the racist card against Hair for an advantage

Do I think the aussie would sledge racialy if they saw it working yes I do, do I know the west indies in their years of when they were the best team in the world sledge the whites? I know they did.
However if you have red hair or fat , or run funny every team will use that against you every time, it is part of cricket. While my knowlede is only second hand I belive that at the end of every test the teams normaly socialise, if the sledging was serious I dont think the teams would socialise.
At the end of teh day this incident will let all teams that cheat know that if they kick up enough fuss the umpire will be intimindated and the legitmat teams will suffer. Pakistan has never been clean, Pakistan's behaviour is a disgrace
Brain4u you still dont understand why he did it, I dont think their is hope for you

Firstly I am not your Dear,
How do you know what Hair's contract consists of? post the url
If you are correct then it still stands, Hair can ask for anything he likes, there will be no finding that Hair did anything wrong he followed the laws of cricket. They may disagree with teh ball being tamerpered with, however that is not a displinary matter.Hair has quite lagitimatly offered to resgin for that sum, if he doesn then they may find they wish him to go and for finacial reasons that is a good amount. Been done before will be done again in business, not illeagl or unethical.
