Betting

The gentlemen's game first had match-fixing, where the whole match's results were fixed. Crime does not pay.

So then we have now spot fixing, where the result of a single delivery is fixed. Crime does not pay.

So then we will have field fixing, where something will be fixed before a ball is bowled, and that can only be something with field placements.
So here's my wager.
$3000 that Dhoni will be in the wicket-keeping position
$5000 that Dhoni will be in the wicket-keeping position if Dinesh Karthik is also playing!

aww. Cricket was a gentlemen's game once because of not just the players, but the spectators and people with interest in the game. Where did they all go?
