Sadly the criminals behind this are still able to carry on their activities, and further proof that T20 leagues are affected by match fixing and other corrupt activities.

That's very sad to find out about.

I was never keen on him when he was with us. Good player though.

What I find saddest of all is the line "In return, (Streak) received two Bitcoins and an iPhone for his wife."

Selling your soul and your sport for such a low amount?

What we don't know is the threats he was subjected to, and the financial pressures he had to keep his family business alive.

It is frustrating that the real criminals behind this get away with nothing been done, and in some cases the full support of govering bodies & national governments.
