Fed: Beazley says crackdown silver lining to Cronje scandal
Opposition Leader KIM BEAZLEY says the silver lining to the HANSIE CRONJE match-fixing
scandal is that cricket administrators are likely to get tougher, today.
CRONJE yesterday admitted to accepting between $A17,000 and $A25,000 from an Indian
bookmaker for providing information and forecasting during January's one-day series in
South Africa against Zimbabwe and England.
He was dropped from the team.
Mr BEAZLEY says cricket fans need to be sure they're watching real games and that the
integrity of the game is preserved.
And he says it's also encouraging to note that Indian police were taking the incident
seriously, considering the subcontinent's growing influence in the cricket world.
