Cricket - Fixing!

SOME eight years ago I had gone to a hotel to interview a cricket umpire. There were a few college boys talking to the umpire. After sometime, the boys asked the umpire if he could take them to Sachin Tendulkar and Dhoni who were staying in the same hotel. The umpire said it was not proper on his part to meet the players and the vigilance wing of the Board would not like it.

And the umpire was a Central Excise Superintendent!
