5 Infamous Match Fixing incidents in Cricket
3) Marlon Samuels receiving money from Indian bookie in 2007 India-West Indies series

During the 2007 India-West Indies series, Marlon Samuels was caught on tape passing on some very important information to some Indian bookmaker which could have easily affected betting odds.
Though this was not a very big fixing racket as no clear evidence as to what situation in the game was fixed or how Samuels’ involvement changed the course of the game. Still the WICB handed him a 2 year ban and Samuels did not come with the West Indies team for nay Indian tour for a long time in fear of being caught by the Indian Police. There certainly was something fishy there.
