Cricket Australia keep reeling in the big fish

A second Australian women's cricketer has been caught out betting on the game this summer, with Western Australia's Piepa Cleary suspended for six months by Cricket Australia for placing bets on the day-night Test in Adelaide last November.

Cleary, 19, placed six bets totalling $15.50 on various elements of the match between Australia and New Zealand, and like the previous transgressor, Angela Reakes, has been handed a suspended two-year ban.

This is something tennis specialises in too. Throw up a few nobodies to show their integrity systems "work".

"Cricket Australia said there were "aggravating factors" in Cleary's case, including that she had received face-to-face anti-corruption training two months before she placed the bets."

Betting on a match she is nowhere near involved in. CA are the biggest laughing stock in Australian sport. Worse than the NRL

As far as rules go, "if you are a cricketer, you are not allowed to bet on cricket" is pretty easy to understand.

The real big fish will easily evade capture. Going in hard on small time bets doesnt make the cricket board look good.

Really? I think they look a hell of a lot better than the AFL.

It should be compulsory - 100% of their match fee placed on their team for the win. Watch them try their guts out then

Nearly as simple as CA taking sponsorship money off these gambling organisations!

Sportspeople should just stay right the hell away from all betting for their own safety really.

Going in hard on whoever they catch is what is necessary. The question is whether they will catch any "big fish". And whether they want to.
There is no problem with her being sanctioned. But if they are letting others escape (no evidence of that yet to my knowledge) then there is a problem.
