 What happens when one of the sweetest days of your career turns out to be a scam? Nasser Hussain found out after shocking revelations around his first overseas Test win as captain.

The match being referred to here is the Centurion Test between South Africa and Britain in 2000. It was the fifth Trial of the series which South Africa was at that point driving 2-0. South Africa batted on Day 1 after which three days were cleaned out. A draw was the possibly result conceivable when the skies cleared for Day 5.

Notwithstanding, before the beginning of play, South Africa captain Hansie Cronje saw Britain wicketkeeper, Alec Stewart in the flight of stairs. He inquired as to whether Nasser Hussain, the Britain chief, would like a proposition. The proposition was for the two commanders to relinquish an innings each - SA relinquish their second innings while Eng relinquish their most memorable innings. This would imply that Britain should basically pursue down South Africa's most memorable innings complete to win. Assuming South Africa bowl them out, it is their match.

From the get go, Hussain dismissed the proposition. In any case, when he saw that the pitch is level, he went off the field to converse with Cronje. The arrangement was on and the two skippers settled on an objective - around 250 out of 76 overs. It was a lot of lower than what Hussain had anticipated.

South Africa pronounced at 248/8. The two commanders relinquished their innings, making it the principal such example in Test history. The match went down to the last possible second. Eventually, Britain won it by 2 wickets - with a Darren Gough limit in the last over of the day.
It was Britain's most memorable abroad success in some time and for Nasser Hussain, it was his first as chief. Britain lost the series however it was a noteworthy success. For fans, it was a shocking day of cricket which went to the last over from the assumptions for a dull draw.
Many praised Cronje's soul. At the post-match function, he said it is Test cricketers obligation to engage.
Notwithstanding, after four months, Hansie Cronje conceded all charges of match-fixing. The Centurion Test was under the scanner and in somewhere around three days, it was demonstrated that Cronje figured out the agreement for his own advantages.
A bookie, who had put vigorously in the blessing of an outcome in the Test match, encouraged Cronje to converse with Hussain. Consequently, Cronje got a calfskin coat and 500,000 rand. Hussain's thought process to be his most memorable abroad Test win, it ended up being a thoroughly examined plan of a match-fixer to set aside his cash.
Hussain later said, "I feel furious on the grounds that my most memorable abroad Test win as Britain skipper will be for all time spoiled by match-fixers"
