Players warned about micro betting

John Pierik writes in the Herald Sun that Australia’s contracted players will be warned at a pre-season camp of the “staggering upsurge in illegal betting”.

While the International Cricket Council claims match-fixing may no longer be a threat, anti-corruption chief Lord Paul Condon says players are still susceptible to "micro betting" - accepting bribes to under-perform during match stages. Condon said although it was less likely players would throw a match, micro betting, or betting on incidents or a particular session within a match, was rampant.
