The Gamblers

Teatime Declarations is a new series that explores cricket through the lens of geopolitics. We'll visit empire, diplomacy, war, and scandal but always in reference to the beautiful game.

Episode 2, The Gamblers, looks at two recent unsavoury incidents of money corrupting the game we love: the Stanford Affair and the Fall of Hanse Cronje.
