Aussie cricketers to give evidence before Pak hearing


Australian Cricket Board officials say two of its Test players, Shane Warne and Mark Waugh, are to give evidence in Melbourne on Friday before a Pakistani judicial inquiry investigating bribery and match-fixing allegations.

Also to be questioned will be the former Australian team manager, Alan Crompton.

All three are said to be happy for their evidence to be heard in public.

Warne and Waugh were secretly fined by the Australian Cricket Board in 1995 for selling information on pitch and weather conditions to an illegal Indian book-maker during Australia's tour to Sri Lanka a year earlier.
