If you think dodgy dealings in the noble game are something new, then think again.
1 - Greg Chappell
Yes, yes, old hat by now, but the underarm incident in Melbourne in February 1981 remains one of cricket's darkest moments.
New Zealand needed six runs to tie the ODI with rugby/cricket double international Brian McKechnie on strike.
Chappell ordered brother Trevor to deliver an
underarm ball to prevent the possibility of McKechnie hitting a six.
McKechnie threw his bat away in disgust, non-striker Bruce Edgar delivered the fingers to Chappell T., the crowd went wild and Australia-New Zealand ODI viewing figures went through the roof for a time.
2 - Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt
The big three from the current alleged spot fixing scandal.
How did it work? The News of the World caught a middle-man on film identifying deliveries in the fourth Test against England at Lord's which would be no-balls. Mazhar Majeed's advice proved correct, with Asif and Amir appearing to deliver to order during England's innings. The three have had their mobile phones confiscated and were meeting Pakistan officials in London last night.
Bans for the three, and perhaps the entire team are among the possible outcomes from the latest scam to hit the game.
3 - Hansie Cronje
On one wrist, the South African captain wore a bracelet with the initials 'WWJD', standing for 'What Would Jesus Do'?
Take money to help to help fix matches is unlikely to fit that bill, but that's what the highly successsful Cronje did after being introduced to match fixer M.K. Gupta on a tour of India by the home captain Mohammad Azharuddin.
He was caught by New Delhi police in phone-tappings discussing fixes with bookmaker Sanjeev Chawla in March 2000.
Cronje, who captained South Africa in 53 of his 68 tests, admitted his actions and was banned for life. The question was why? "I was arrogant enough to think Ii would get away with it," he said.
A born-again Christian with an admitted love of the folding stuff, Cronje talked of how Satan stepped forward when he took his eyes off Jesus, and his "whole world turned dark".
He died, aged 33, when the plane he was in crashed in mountains near his home town of George in June 2002.
4 - Salim Malik
He played 103 tests, averaging 43.69, and 283 ODIs and the man could certainly bat.
But moustachioed Malik was front and centre when allegations of fixing rose against Pakistani players in the 1990s.
Malik's finest moment as a player came against Australia in 1994 when he hit 237 and 143 in consecutive tests to help Pakistan win the series 1-0.
But he'll be best known for becoming the first player to be banned for life for match-fixing, in 2000.
Seven years later he was reprieved by the Pakistan Supreme Court.
5- Mohammad Azharuddin
He is the only player to have made centuries in each of his first three tests but Azharuddin was revealed as a friend to the fixers, admitted to helping rig three ODIs, and in 2000 was banned for life.
Then the Indian board lifted the ban in 2006 and last year he joined the Indian National Congress Party, winning an election for his western Uttar Pradesh electorate.
Azharuddin played 99 tests, hitting 22 hundreds - six of them against New Zealand - and finishing with an average of 45.03.
6 - Mike Gatting and Graham Gooch
The two former England captains had black stains against their names for having led rebel England teams to play series in South Africa, which was then in the international cricket wilderness over the country's apartheid regime.
Gooch was in charge of the 1982 tour to South Africa; Gatting led the last one, in 1990.
Gooch's mob included prominent test players Geoff Boycott, Dennis Amiss, John Emburey, Alan Knott, Chris Old and Derek Underwood. All received three-year bans. Gatting's tour coincided with the release from prison of Nelson Mandela, the unbanning of the African National Congress and the dismantling of apartheid.
Gatting got a three-year ban, Emburey served another suspension while other prominent names in the squad included Chris Broad, dad of current test player Stuart and now a match referee, Graham Dilley, Bill Athey and Neil Foster.
7 - Douglas Jardine
The overseer of cricket's most controversial series, the Bodyline battle for the Ashes in Australia in 1932-33.
The tactic of having England's fast bowlers attack the bodies of Australia's batsmen - specifically aimed at reducing the powers of the great Don Bradman - worked a treat, in that England regained the little urn 4-1.
Jardine was a ruthless leader. The Aussies loathed him, especially when he wore his colourful Harlequins cap, while the English authorities were happy to support him when the Australians were being bruised, battered and skittled.
His chief destroyer was Harold Larwood a short Nottinghamshire miner, who was both seriously quick and accurate.
Larwood, being a pro, did as he was told, and finished with 33 wickets in the five tests. After the tour, the English authorities told Larwood to apologise. He refused.
Neither Jardine nor Larwood ever played for England again.
8 - Shane Warne and Mark Waugh
The Australian pair were implicated in shenanigans when they admitted having given information to an Indian bookmaker during a tour of Sri Lanka in 1994.
The players were fined by the Australian Cricket Board in 1995 - but officials covered it up until it became public three years later, fearing a backlash because of the explosive nature of the issue.
Reports varied on how much the pair received, ranging from A$2500 to A$15,000.
In 1995, Warne, Waugh and spinner Tim May claimed Pakistan captain Salim Malik had offered them bribes ahead of a test in Karachi in 1994, adding to the ACB's acute embarrassment.
9 - Allen Stanford
English cricket bosses couldn't believe their luck when the Texan helicoptered into Lord's with a large trunk, allegedly stacked with US$20 million to be put up for the winners of a one-off T20 at his ground in Antigua.
Famous cricketers, including Viv Richards and Sir Ian Botham, who should have known better, were among those fawning at Stanford's knee.
Giles Clarke, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, welcomed Stanford as the saviour of the game.
This is the same Stanford who is now in custody awaiting trial on money-laundering charges.
10 - Tony Greig
When the Packer revolution of cricket was being knitted together in 1977, Greig was England's captain.
Imagine, then, the outrage emanating from HQ when it was revealed the South African-born Greig was knee-deep in the plans to hire a pile of the game's leading players for an operation to rival the established order - and the establishment.
This was a year after his unwise and embarrassingly inaccurate prediction that he would make the West Indies "grovel" during their tour of England.
Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards had other ideas.
Greig's reward for his part in the revolution was a job, seemingly for life, as one of Channel Nine's TV commentary team.
