Bit of a prat...
Interesting to finish a career with a test bowling average of 20.00 though...

Just a point, but how can you ban someone who has stopped playing anyway??

This is one of the more relevant points of the article:
"The ban won't affect Giddins unduly, since he retired at the end of last season after a subdued year with Hampshire, his fourth county. He parted company with Sussex, his first club, after a drug offence in 1996. He also played for Warwickshire and Surrey, and won four Test caps, taking 12 wickets at 20.00, including 5 for 15 against Zimbabwe at Lord's in 2000."
He probably thought he was about to retire so "Why not?". Still, whilst still playing, betting on your team to lose is a bit crazy.

This is hilariously stupid:
" Ex-West Ham player, Paul Kitson was exposed as having betted on there being a throw-in during the first minute of a match in which he was playing. He kicked the ball out of play directly from the kick-off, and thus was able to collect on the bet."

Paul Kitson was a Richard (can't fool me, Cricket Web filter). When he was at Derby there was actually a rivalry between him and fellow striker Marco Gabbiadini - there were rumours of training ground bust-ups, players coming to blows, the lot.Adamc said:
Kitson can rot in hell (Gabbiadini fan here)
