Who killed Hansie Cronje and Bob Woolmer? Have players from the national squad been involved in match-fixing? Is suspending IPL teams punishment enough for erring franchise owners? Should betting be made legal in India as advised by the Lodha Committee?

From S. Sreesanth to Chris Cairns Lalit Modi to N. Srinivasan Hamid Cassim to Tinku Mandi Shantanu Guha Ray examines the allegations of corruption against players cricket administrators and bookies alike. He interviews the myriad people who linger in the shadows of players' dressing rooms - the middle men agents 'friends' of IPL franchise owners - placing bets on games and enticing cricketers to reveal inside information for money sex or worse fear for their lives. Also under the spotlight are the roles of the police and the government who have at best made patchy efforts to stem the rot.

Fixed!: Cash and Corruption in Cricket is an incisive unflinching look at the underbelly of what once used to be a gentleman's game.
