Fixed!


In the week Rahul Dravid retired, The Sunday Times reminded us all that we are fooling ourselves if we believe cricket to be free of match-fixing.
Worse still, India is at the heart of the fixing.
The most revealing story came from Victor Chandler, one of the biggest bookmakers in the world.
In an interview with The Guardian, he said his company does not take big bets on cricket matches. “We know they know more than us,” he said.
I stopped following cricket when the match-fixing scandal first broke to claim Azharuddin and taint Kapil Dev.
I stand vindicated.
