Shane Warne claims Saleem Malik offered himself and Tim May $200,000 each to bowl wide of the stumps and try not to take any wickets on Day Five of the 1994 Test in Karachi.
Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne was never far away from controversies during his playing career. One of the greatest leg-spinners in the history of the game, Warne ended up with 708 wickets in his Test career. One of the most controversial moments in his career came back in 1994 when former Pakistan skipper Saleem Malik offered Warne a bribe to fix a match.
Warne recounted the incident in details in the documentary ‘Shane’ which premiered on Bookmyshow.com this weekend. Warne was in his Karachi hotel room alongside Australian teammate Tim May when he got a phone call.
It was Pakistan captain Malik, and he tells the Aussie leg-spinner: “I need to see you.”
