Sue me, I like my players to actually give a **** about playing for their country and prepare themselves accordingly. Taylor doesn't give a ****, so I don't give a **** about him.

The amount of words you've dedicated to his character assassination, plus the number of ****s given in that post, speak volumes otherwise.

Genuinely never heard of this, so interested to see what there is on it.

In his book Cricket Crossfire, he stated he often got himself out on purpose so he could get to the books for horse racing, or for poker games, or deciding the innings didn't really need him.

That's more so because I laugh when people consider you racist for pointing out facts about someone and enjoy the fact that people can't get away from crediting him for what he did two years ago, versus who he is now.

Yea no that's nothing like accepting money to under-perform and luring other young cricketers to do the same.

No, but also in his book he mentioned that there were often occassions where cricketers profited from books by doing something in a game, although he mentioned generally it inspired performance rather than lack of performance.

It's more of a confession than Cairns ever made.

0.o

Occasionally putting money on yourself to score a ton or win a match is nothing like accepting cash from a third person to under-perform. How are you even making this comparison lol.

Damn professionalism paying players to play, now they've got an artificial incentive to play well and stay in the team!

Hobbs and Trumper were also dirty fixers. Got themselves out to give other players a go. Disgraceful.

Amateurs vs Professionals.

Well known though that many amateurs made money betting on/against themselves. Keith Miller was one that was said to have done it. All started from Boxers doing it for themselves - there is a lot of suggestion that Sugar Ray Robinson only lost when he had money on his opponent.

Charges against Carins fffaaaaaarrr more severe than those against Warne. Can't even compare. Cairns could actually go to jail for what he did.

Yeah true. Certainly levels to match fixing, it's interesting to not which are forgivable and which aren't.

At what score does Williamson start to make declaration hard for BMac? 250?

Don't think this team is about that tbh. Unless he was 280+ a couple of overs before BMac was considering, a message may go out to him.
