"My name is Lou Vincent and I am a cheat"

I want people here to focus attention one one part that has been largely ignored in this development

The life ban on Vincent has also been extended to the Champions League T20. Vincent pleaded guilty to seven charges related to entering into agreements with bookmakers for financial gain and match-fixing in the 2012 CLT20 in South Africa. Vincent had played for the Auckland Aces in the CLT20 and the matches under scrutiny included those against Hampshire on October 10 and Kolkata Knight Riders on October 15. He was also charged with failing to report an approach from a bookmaker in the 2011 CLT20.

We know about the IPL and now CLT20 too.

why is it that they only accept when the writing is on the wall. Why dont they just accept it at the start when its clear that sooner or later they will get caught and get disgraced on 2 counts? Same thing happened with Sreesanth

nobody knows how deep this muck runs.. will not be surprised if majority of Indian players are involved too

some of this is due to legal probems. if you show genuine contrition they ill go little easy on you. there is chance of criminal prosecution and going to jail so you do everything to save yourself

In his first interview since being slapped with a life ban for corruption, former New Zealand batsman Lou Vincent has offered a compelling insight into how match-fixers work. He revealed on radio networks Newstalk ZB and Radio Sport how he was lured into fixing by his 'hero' during the ICL, and why he couldn't turn down the offer. "This guy.. he's my hero," Vincent said. "Someone that almost took me under his wing, someone who was a dear friend, someone that when I was around, I was so empowered by his presence and his confidence, the aura of this legend that I had the honour of playing cricket with in my career, and now it is 'Yes, sir'." Vincent also talks about the moment when he realised his 'hero' was involved in fixing. He said he was approached by bookies during the ICL in 2008, and that he reported the encounter to the authorities. "Then I go to my hero, knock on his door and then I am buzzing with this like, 'Wow, this has really happened, I have to tell someone the story'. I walk into the room and I just had to tell him straight away. 'This is what happened, I have been approached, this is what I have done, I have reported it to my agent, it's all being taken care of.' And there was an eerie silence for a couple of seconds, and then there's that deep breath and I always remember the face looking over me saying,'That's good, because that's a good cover, because now you are working for me'. And that's when my life changed." Vincent said he no longer held his 'hero' in high regard. "We were friends, he's not my friend any more and he's certainly not my hero any more." The interview has Vincent detailing how bookies offered him an initial $15,000 during the ICL, how his hero was furious after Vincent couldn't carry out a fix as planned, and whether he thinks a life ban is a severe enough punishment

Is this Chris Cairns?

for 15k :facepalm: Do these guys even know how much money bookies make on each fixed delivery ? If they want to be corrupt then at least charge a more reasonable price!

15 k for nzlander is great. They don't get paid that much like Indians, stralians or English

15 k for nzlander is great. They don't get paid that much like Indians' date=' stralians or English[/quote'] It doesnt matter, a bookie makes crores of Rupees on each bet if its fixed so the player who is enabling that should get a large share
