Hi folks, which player from your country/club/state or any team that you follow closely had most detrimental effect on the game? It could be on field results, off field stuff or even both.

Salman Butt deprived Pakistan of two world-class bowling talents who could have bowled with England as home conditions for the next decade.

Even if it wasn’t for him, I have no doubt they would have found another spectacular way to **** it up.

Cronje was the one that sprang to mind.

Good captain and batsman, threw it all away and seemed to open a sort of 'match fixing disease' that cricket has never fully recovered from.

I used to make jokes to a mate about horse racing being crooked, he got his own back when those stories broke...

Easily Cronje. Ruined crickets standing in this country for a long time.

Was it ever established how long/how frequent Azharuddin's fixing was for?

I always assumed Hansie was the bigger fixer

No, Azharuddin easily. He fixed games for around a decade. Can find youtube videos of him deliberately dropping dollies in early 90s in most ridiculous of manner. He must have fixed at least 10% or 15% of games he captained.

How is dropping dollies related to fixing and which were those games?
