Australia player approached by bookmaker

[Skater]

Well done to whoever the player is! If it wasn't for the ACSU's education, who knows what might have happened.

The Australian team management has filed a report with the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit after a player was approached by a man suspected of links to illegal bookmaking. Cricinfo has learned the approach was made in the bar of the team's London hotel, the Royal Kensington Garden, following Australia's Ashes defeat at Lord's in July.

Guys dont worry, I was the one who approached Michael Clarke, apparently free life time supply of hair gel was not enough for him to throw away the ashes. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck trying to bribe the saffers this winter.

Did he make paperbacks or hardbacks?

Apparently part of the package was a night out with Stuart Broard. Some were tempted but others declined saying they preferred men. (I know, below the belt, literally!)
