Drafting Controversial Players: Cronje, Asif etc.

Oh he was dirty as well. Azhar, Jadeja, Prabhakar, Mongia were definitely involved. As per Prabhakar even Kapil wanted to throw away a match against Pak.

Yeah, but that was only according to Prabhakar. I can't think I ever read about a game Kapil, a player famous for almost never bowling a no ball and being run out, didn't gave 100% effort. And even among all these bookies, Prabhakar was somehow a bigger douchebag whom no one really ever liked.

It will be great if we can permaban fixers from drafts. It is not as if there is a drought of players without them.

Leslie Hylton (hanged for murdering his wife) has been picked more than once.

And Google of course, states his cause of death as "Suicide" .

Not sure I have heard of him, let alone knew this about him but it makes the characters we are talking about here seem saints in comparison!

You should read the story of the Hylton murder. Although possibly sensationalized, it's straight out of a romance soap / tragedy movie.

Damn..... That surely felt like a movie plot.

Just read it now - if source I'm reading is correct - they found him guilty of murder but recommended mercy and thus hanged him? Certainly a very dramatic storyline!

Yeah, but the murder itself and the drama leading up to it too.

It was a quintessential "crime of passion". It's insane he ended up getting hanged.
