Now that India reckon they basically run cricket now, should we be getting used to more of these stories on a regular basis?

 

[JUBJUB]

Sreesanth will need a big box of tissues for this one

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I think a good slapping is in order.

 

[TassieEagle]

Gonna become more common. Good thing it was only the IPL and not something important (sorry IPL fans... but not really)

 

[Selective Retention]

The other two you can understand but surely Sreesanth gets paid a shit load to do 2/5ths of stuff all in the IPL being an (ex) Indian quick in a competition with international player caps and a dearth of quick bowlers.

 

[Selective Retention]

Ok looked up Sreesanth's auction price.

Bought by Kochi for $900,000 last year and Rajasthan for $400,000 this year.

Unconfirmed report that a large amount of money has been found in an Australian Cricketers room, that is currently playing in the IPL. Talking six figure sums.

Big Show asked for his paycheck in one dollar bills so that he could swim around in it and laugh whilst Mumbai are actually playing.

 

[Super Hans]

What a stupid, stupid boy.

 

[skilts]

But I thought it was only Indians who were crooks. This can't be right.

Pretty sure he doesn't get all of the cashola unless he plays a certain amount of games. Indians are pretty clever with that type of stuff.

If you're available, you get the cash.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Corruption in the IPL. I'm shocked. Completely. Utterly. Totally. Shocked. You could even say flabbergasted. I never saw this coming.

 

[western royboy]

If you're available, you get the cash.

Makes the splinters worth it!

 

[Jaymin]

Hmm.

Watson? Hodge? Tait? Faulkner? Hogg?

That is if it is a Rajasthan player.

It's Shaun Tait.

Also Owais Shah.

 

[western royboy]

It's Shaun Tait.

Also Owais Shah.

It figures - both mercenaries - if correct.

 

[Marshland]

It figures - both mercenaries - if correct.

Will CA suspend him from domestic stuff as well? Big Bash?

 

[Jamurp]

More likely a T20 'specialist' such as Tait, Hogg etc. Watson would earn enough as it is, and I don't think he's that stupid.

Australian Cricketers' Association CEO Paul Marsh is speaking on Tait's behalf is on 3aw now, saying it's sounds like rubbish, etc

 

[Marshland]

Ok looked up Sreesanth's auction price.

Bought by Kochi for $900,000 last year and Rajasthan for $400,000 this year.

So what's the motivation? This is in addition to the other stuff he gets paid by the BCCI, obviously.

Ditto for Tait? Shah? The Pakistani trio?

This is just a repeat of what was on 3aw a little while ago.

"I've just spoken to his manager ... and Shaun is denying this in the strongest possible terms," Marsh said.
"I've known Shaun ... for a long time, personally, and this would be of the greatest surprise to me, if it's the case.
"Shaun's angry, very upset that these allegations are out there and he asked us for some legal advice.
"It's doing the rounds on social media; he has no idea where it's come from.
"He obviously hasn't been arrested, as the other three were."
Marsh said the reports coming out of India have the alleged amount of cash at about $60,000.

This comes after Indian fast bowler Sreesanth and two teammates were arrested for spot-fixing during the Indian Premier League.
Sreesanth was arrested by Delhi police in Mumbai along with fellow bowlers Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila on charges of spot-fixing.
The arrests were made at a hotel where the team was staying after a match on Wednesday night against the Mumbai Indians.
The trio play for the Rajasthan Royals.
Their Australian teammates include Tait, Shane Watson, Brad Hodge, Brad Hogg and James Faulkner.

Further news from Dean Jones doesn't seem to implicate Tait. I think Healy said where it came from; I'll listen later

Paul Marsh was on 3AW, in short, Tait denies it, doesn't know where it has come from, Manager knows nothing about it. Nothing on it anywhere.
