...Cronje scandal prompted the International Cricket Council to set up an Anti-Corruption and Security Unit to go after illegal bookmakers. But rumors of match fixing linger.

It's a wonder it took the entertainment industry so long to fully exploit him--and the other Tudors too--since the period was one of the most scandal plagued in British history.
