Why didn't Mark Waugh and Shane Warne tell the Pakistani judge probing the Salim Malik scandal about their acceptance of money from the Indian bookie in Sri Lanka?
Were these the only two Australian players approached by the Indian bookie, or were there three, as journalist Peter Roebuck has hinted at? If so, who's the other one? Is the ACB hiding the third player?
- The Indian bookie was staying in the same Colombo hotel as Warne and Waugh. Why did he pay US $11,200 (Rs 350,000) for information which he could have gathered by merely peeping out of his window?
- Why did Waugh and Warne accept the money—no questions asked—when they are paid adequately by the ACB andsponsors—Nike is sticking by Warne. Was it some kind of insurance money for information on future matches?
Did Malik know about the offer to Waugh and Warne in Lanka, and is that why he approached them in the Pakistan series in '95, as the duo alleged later along with Tim May?
- Is the Indian Test player mentioned by cricket writer R.Mohan the same player who offered Manoj Prabhakar Rs 25 lakh to throw a match in Sri Lanka in '94?
- Why are Waugh and Warne not revealing the name of the Indian bookie if they could name Malik?
- Why is Mohan not naming the "ex-Indian player?"
- Danny Morrison says he was offered $1,000 by "an Indian player" to take a telephone call and provide information on a home Test in '94. Why doesn't Morrison name him? Is he the same player Prabhakar and R. Mohan are talking about?
- Australian players told ACB officials that they had heard reports that players from all teams had connections with the illegal betting industry. Did they name any Indians?
- If providing routine information for a fee is not bribery, as Waugh and Warne are claiming, what is?
Why is there no mention about Waugh and Warne being fined by the Australian Cricket Board in the ACB's minutes? Why did only two ACB officials know of the scandal?
Why did not the International Cricket Council (ICC) which was informed by ACB not make the issue public if its intention is to prevent wrongdoing in cricket?
Why did not ACB official Malcolm Speed, who accompanied Waugh and Warne when they deposed before the Pakistani judge probing the match-fixing controversy, reveal that the duo had been penalised for their sin?
