When searching for corruption it is an old adage that one need only follow the money. The T20 league, since its inception in 2008, has cried out to be investigated. It is a tournament that has blown its nose with the biggest of denominations. There have been disgraces a plenty before but the spot-fixing claims cut deeper, and India is sore, it is suffering.

The soul-searching is underway. Chief among the worries is whether this shame could have been avoided. Was it inevitable? It is a disturbing, but necessary, query. The indignity needs to be examined and the glare of the spot lamp should hove in on whether the mess is a case of a few rotten apples or if it is the system itself which is putrid to the core.
