The Sunday Times’ report that says bookmakers claim to be able to fix international cricket matches as well as English county games is to be investigated by the International Cricket Council.
Match fixers claim to use a Bollywood actress as a honeytrap to recruit players from England and other countries.
Claims include bookmakers offering £44,000 for batsmen to score slowly, and £50,000 for bowlers to have runs conceded off their bowling, and the alleged fixing does not stop with players with £750,000 for a player or official that can guarantee a result of a match.
The newspaper reported that an "influential Delhi bookmaker" said that English county cricket is a good marker with low-profile matches and little monitoring of outcomes.
Now Indian cricket fans and movie fans alike are asking the question just who is the nameless Bollywood actress.
That question has yet to be answered but the Daily Mail is reporting that the “influential bookmaker” is Delhi bookmaker Vicky Seth who was secretly videoed by undercover reporters boasting that the “English county cricket is a good new market”.
