Banned cricketer Lou Vincent has reportedly revealed that a cricket bat was used to threaten him in a hotel room when he messed up a fix.
Vincent said that a member of a betting syndicate turned on him when he hit a six instead of getting out, as had been agreed.
According to the BBC, Vincent said that he got a phone call to meet the person he was working for, adding that the person got a cricket bat and was walking towards him with a killer look in his eyes.
Vincent, who was banned from cricket for life on Tuesday after pleading guilty to breaching anti-corruption regulations, said that he feared that he was going to be attacked.
The former New Zealand batsman said that he could tell straight away that he had done wrong and was really surprised that the person did not follow through and hit him.
The incident occurred while Vincent was playing in a rebel Twenty20 competition in India in 2008, the report added.
