SHOCK CLAIMS - Bookies paid Bradman to throw his life
New Delhi, India Wednesday:
The cricket world is again in turmoil after reports that Sir Donald Bradman accepted money from bookmakers to throw his own life.
The world-renowned batsman was looking very comfortable on 92, when he all of a sudden died carelessly. The death has raised the suspicions of Indian police who thought it was unusual for Bradman not to reach 100.
"If you watch replays of the death very closely," said one police investigator, "you'll notice how dubious it looks. In all his life he'd never once died before. It's completely out of character."
The International Cricket Committee has questioned whether the coroners were
too quick to attribute the death to pneumonia. The ICC believe the coroners
should have called on the third coroner to give the decision.
The possibility that Bradman was involved in death-fixing has shaken the Australian Test team. "I always thought I was our country's only corruptible player" said Mark Waugh.
It's believed Waugh recently received some new cash payments in return for providing corruption information to police. Waugh was interviewed extensively last night about a man who approached Bradman shortly before his
death, and who only identified himself as "John". Police were told by Waugh
that this was just the Prime Minister.
Spin bowler Shane Warne was also approached by police, but declined to answer their questions. He told them he had nothing but the utmost respect for Bradman. Warne described Bradman as Australia's greatest ever arsy batsman.
Former Test captain Mark Taylor also paid tribute to the late Sir Donald, vowing to kill himself when he turns 92 so as to never outdo the Bradman legacy.
