West Indies middle order batsman Marlon Samuels has been accused of playing a part in fixing the first One Day International between India and the West Indies in Nagpur on January 21, according to press reports out of India.

CaribbeanCricket.com has confirmed that police in Nagpur sent a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) offering "definitive proof" of telephone conversations between Samuels and bookie Mukesh Kochchar during which vital match information was allegedly leaked by the Jamaican batsman.

the windies batting order didn't have any real surprises per se...team strategy is the only real info to speak of

Is that all?

Are you serious?

If these allegations are proven it will likely be the end of Marlon's cricketing career.

One also has to wonder if the team strategies were relayed to the Indian team.

That's it?

I could have stayed from 20,000 miles away and told them the batting lineup and pitch condition!!!

Marlon might end up a rich man after all....thats after he sues the hell out of these bastards.

I think I'll wait until there are some details before I form any opinions on this matter.

I don't see a case there , who wanna bet there is no trial!

My sentiments exactly. All the aforementioned information can be gotten from any commentator, prior to the match. Why would someone fix a match and produce the way he did with both bat and ball. If anything, his figures would have been marginal.

wait...our team has a strategy?

The one thing marlon has going for him is that they do not have any evidence of payments being made. That would minimize any sanctions against him.

Regardless, the WICB will be under pressure to omit him from the squad for the WC.

We still adhere to the priciple of natural justice in the Caribbean.

Thankfully, the ICC has not yet be allowed to hijack our system of jurisprudence!!!

Under pressure from whom, how many games Gibbs played before he returned to India to answer charges?

Y'all starting to sound like some real NOOBS!!!

Bookies thrive on information....any information.

It might seem innocuous to you, but the bookie looking for an edge so that he could fix the vig.
