Match-fixing redux?
First there was the Outlook story about the discovery of a fax in which Mohammad Azharuddin allegedly confesses to having received money from a bookmaker. And now the Times of India alleges that the groundsman at the Ferozshah Kotla ground in Delhi had taken a bribe years ago to "suit the bets of a gang of punters allegedly acting in concert with one member of the Indian team".
From all that I've heard from credible sources, all of this is just the tip of a rather large iceberg. But that iceberg, thankfully, is in the past, floating, sinking, disintegrating. There's bound to be some debris, but that's all this is.
