Top Aussie official quits after ball-tampering report released

MELBOURNE - The ball-tampering affair last March in Cape Town has claimed another victim in Australian cricket.

Cricket Australia chairman David Peever announced his resignation on Thursday, three days after a report saying Cricket Australia was arrogant and bent on winning at all costs in a review of its culture and governance commissioned after the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.

The board appointed Earl Eddings as interim chairman.
