We would have preferred not to have had to deal with such a situation.

Our position is that we are very committed to getting the retainer contracts on stream. We have been working on a number of documents, the collective agreement, the Memorandum of Understanding, the Code of Conduct, the match tour contracts and that sort of thing.

Before we dealt with things in an ad hoc manner and now we have measures in place for the betterment of all concerned.We stand ready to support the board and new captain Brian Lara, and we will be looking to move the game forward with all our best efforts.

This is an unprecedented situation. It's not a done deal.

We would have preferred not to restate earnings, but it is important to recognize that we have had a very comprehensive review ongoing. Where we have discovered or identified errors, we have moved quickly.

I've always preferred not to run for public office, and I still do, ... Run, Warren, run!
