Damn that sucks. He was a class leader of his country in his time as captain. Shame he had to spoil it; he'll never get another chance now

It is a shame, and his achievements in cricket will be forgotten beneath the scandal.

Always sad to see someone die, but what's the frou-frou about cricket?

He was involved in a match-fixing scandal, which resulted in him being banned for life from the sport in October 2000.

Okay...and how did he get caught? I figure that cricket is so boring, most of the refs are sleeping, too...
