He missed his commercial flight and rented a private plane. The plane crashed into the Western Cape mountains.Don't THINK you can, KNOW you can...

Skyflier 0 #2 June 3, 2002 Tragic as the death of Hansie Cronje may be, I can't help but wonder if the phrase "good sportsman" is bending the truth a just a little...JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm 0 #3 June 3, 2002 No, he was a real good sportsman.Yes, I know he made a mistake. Don't we all do? He paid for it dearly. He was banned from ever playing cricket for SA again. He wasn't even allowed to coach schoolkids!!! Nobody is perfect. Nobody is free of sin or crime, however small it may be.But he was a good person and a great Captain. Even Steve and Mark Waugh had only good things to say about him.Don't THINK you can, KNOW you can... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skystorm 0 #6 June 4, 2002 Some big businessman offered him U$100000-00 to do some match fixing, which he offered to his team mates. Some of them agreed not to play their best, others thought it best to come out with the truth.Thing is he was the only one convicted of the "crime". And this has happened before in other countries.Don't THINK you can, KNOW you can... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
