Match fixing related to gambling

[[Cricket]] has been affected by several high-profile match-fixing scandals, including the case of Hansie Cronje in the late 1990s and investigations surrounding the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]]. These highly publicised enquiries were prompted by the surprise defeat of [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in the Cup by [[Ireland cricket team|Ireland]] and the subsequent murder investigation into the sudden death, straight after the match, of Pakistan's head coach [[Bob Woolmer]]. According to the head of the ICC's anti-corruption unit [[Paul Condon]], cricket is the most bet on sport in the world, and fixing is found at every level of the sport and is a significant problem.Interview with Paul Condon by [[Charles Colville]], ''Sky Sports'' June 4, 2010. The 2008 novel ''Raffles and the Match-Fixing Syndicate'', by Adam Corres, places [[E. W. Hornung]]'s [[A. J. Raffles]], 'the gentleman thief', into the world of [[cricket match-fixing]]. This black humour comedy includes speculation on the infamous Hansie Cronje and Bob Woolmer incidents and features serious aspects of cricket [[gamesmanship]] or 'how to defeat a superior opponent without actually cheating', a vital skill in the cricketing psychology of 'thinking the batsman out'.

The high salaries of some of today's [[professional sport|professional]] athletes likely serves to insulate their leagues from player-instigated match fixing.Forrest, D.; McHale, I.; McAuley, K.
