ICC expect Waugh will talk

ICC spokesman Mark Harrison has played down the significance of Mark Waugh choosing not to speak to the Anti-Corruption Unit.

"I think, in a sense, that it is legal posturing from his advisers," Harrison said. "We would like to see Waugh and for him to speak with Greg Mellick (an Anti-Corruption Unit investigator) to form a view about it (allegations in an Indian police report that he took money from a book-maker).

"We have a meeting scheduled in Melbourne when we will speak in more detail about it with the ACB and we will take it from there."

However, Harrison has suggested that it is still likely that Waugh will meet with members of the ACU.

"I think that he will want some advance details of what will be discussed so that he can prepare a response," Harrison said.

Condon has previously remarked that those not co-operating with his investigations would face "draconian sanctions."

Waugh had earlier made it clear, through his solicitors, that he has already denied the allegations contained in the CBI report and that he has co-operated in two ACB and ICC enquiries in the past.
