Cricketers and spicy scandals

Cricketers are ideally in news for their sixes and centuries, but some break the headlines for their scandalous behaviour. Let's have a look at the cricketers who are known for their sex sca*dals.

Shane Warne hit newspaper headlines and had to pay a heavy fine when he was caught pestering British nurse Donna Wright with a series of smutty phone calls and voice messages. As a result, Warne lost his vice-captaincy. (REUTERS/David Gray)

Shahid Afridi was caught entertaining a group of young ladies in his hotel room just before the start of a tournament. Despite his insisting, that the gathering was there just for the autographs, no one believed him. (REUTERS/Vijay Mathur)

Kevin Pietersen did a big blunder pestering Vanessa Nimmo for sex and then dumping her informing through an SMS. In 2005, Brit rag ‘The People’ ran an interview with one of KP's conquests, Big Brother 'beauty' and fellow-South African Vanessa Nimmo, where she spilled the beans. (REUTERS)

Warne was still not ready to give up his lusty innings with babes. In 2003 UK tabloid, 'The Daily Mirror' quoted stri**er Angela Gallagher as claiming that he'd been bombarding her with raunchy text messages. It wasn't just text messaging ... they were extremely full-on sexual messages. (REUTERS)

Daryl Tuffey ran into trouble in March 2005 when two English tourists used their mobiles to allegedly film Tuffey having sex with a 23-year-old Christchurch sales representative. Despite all the hype, the scandal woman involved insists she's never met Tuffey. (REUTERS)

Akram Khan & Shaqlain Mushtaq: The louder the Pakistani players tried to defend themselves and complained, the more rumours began to circulate that Akram and Mushtaq had, in fact, picked up their black eyes and chipped teeth in a bar brawl at a local strip joint called 'Club 69'. (AGENCIES)

Mike Gatting was accused of being with a barmaid, Louise Shipman, in his hotel room during the first Test against the Windies at Trent Bridge. Gatting denied the story, but it had already taken it's toll and the England bigwigs dismissed him. (AFP)

Shane Warne: One more sex story to his name appeared in the British tabloids, which showed Warne and two models involved in sexual positions. The alleged sexual episode made him appear in the hitlist of controversy. (REUTERS/Tim Wimborne)
