The most obvious link to me seems 'Match fixing'shankar said:Sorry for the delay. Here's the question:
What connects Shane Warne,Nayan Mongia,Azharuddin,Steve Bucknor and Arthur Mailey?
Monghia and Azhar were accused of receiving money , While Warne received few thousand dollars for socalled "weather and pitch reports" (as curator and weather forecaster), Bucknor has I think claimed at various times to have beeb offered same! Not sure about Arthur Mailey . So I think my guess must be pretty much off the mark from the answer expected .
Anything to do with their nick names ?
Hollywood (Warne)
Mailey (called the Millionaire bowler)
not sure about the others .
I wonder Shankar if you would consider giving clues because, this one I can see is going to be a tough one to crack without clues!
