England Player: 5 mil for Matchfixing; Cronje, Woolmer Death Suspicious

One England player who wishes to remain anonymous is speaking to certain newspapers and is making some rather sensational arguments with regards to match fixing.

The player claimed that he knew the person who approached him to provide opportunity to do a bit of spot fixing with the rest of the team, the reward for which would be somewhere in the region of five million pounds, sumptuous by stretch of the imagination.

He further stated that one of the reasons he shied away from the proposition was because of the deaths that followed former South African captain, Hansie Cronje, and the former South African coach, Bob Woolmer. He stated that after Cronje confessed to the match fixing scandal of 2000, Cronje died in a plane crash that somehow looks suspicious because of Cronje’s fear of flying. He feels the circumstances surrounding his death in a cargo plane perhaps point to the hand of match fixers feeling threatened. He states that perhaps Woolmer’s death while still coach of Pakistan was also riddled with doubts because Woolmer had material related to bookies and with Pakistan’s defeat to Ireland in the 2007 ICC World Cup, somebody wanted to shut him up.
