Message: It was sad rather shocking to read the news of Hansie's plane crash. Nobody wanted things to end this way with him. It is true that he brought himself and cricket to shame by succumbing to the call of the fixers and it was least expected out of someone who was almost an icon not only in South Africa but also in almost all the cricket playing countries. I recall how the Indian fans recieved this news. They werenot really surprised to see some of the Indian names appear in the list. But to see Hansie's name there was something that took many by shock. A great batsman and a leader always in control, he yielded to his human side of going for lucrative deals outside the field and thereby ditching the game and other players. But he repented and there is something to note here. The other players who were banned for the same reason never did anything like this. He realised what he did and that brought us to a stage where we could think again whether to give him a second chance. Its too late now. But lets not hate him. Let us remember his contributions. We all commit mistakes, big and small and when we find ourselves in his shoes, we may plead for a second chance. Common, cricket fans, let us not remember him for his mistake, which I admit was not something he could have got away with, but for being the most successful captain modern cricket has seen after Clive Loyd.

Message: Hansie is the best player I can ever think of, I still don't believe that it was him who got into this mathc-fixing scandal, may be he was forced to, If he wasn't a good man he'd have never accepted that he had taken money, It is said that God forgives you when u accept ur mistakes, it's the same thing with hansie, even now i rate him as the BEST CAPTAIN to any team. It was really sad to hear about his accident, but his name will be remember forever as the "BEST CAPTAIN"
Name: Chander Ahluwalia
Message: We often forget that cricketers are human beings. Although I never had the pleasure to meet Hansie I hear he was an astonishing person and his cricket record was exceptional.
The fact that he took payments from dubious sources who run an unofficial gambling book was an unfortunate mark on his otherwise fantastic contribution to South African neigh world cricket.
Lets not forget how he pulled himself back from the edge and put his life back together. Perhaps it makes us all realize that Hansie entertained us all in the field of cricket and what we should do is thank him for that.
Surely the rest is between Hansie and his maker!
Hansie, may you rest in peace and may your loved ones be sheltered.

Message: For me Hansie will always be associated with the rise to fame of South African cricket. I believe he was the single largest contributing factor (both as a captain and as a player) to the meteoric rise of South Africa to stardom.
I only regret that many an individual, the UCBSA and the media alike, have chosen to extoll his virtues after his unfortunate demise, when in fact, they could have played a more empathetic and constructive role in the "rehabilitation" of one of South Africa's cricket icons.
Hansie's presence will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

Cronje has been a brilliant cricketer. One of the finest captain that cricket has produced.His involvement in match fixing scandal and subsequent ban from cricket has been the lowest ebb in his career, but the way he conducted himself through the proceedings reflected true person.

Name: SUNIL KUAMR
Message: Hansie, one of the best captains of modern cricket will be best known for his achivements as the captain of South African team.
Every human commits mistakes at some time in the course of his life. He who realises his mistakes and tries to correct them or even repents of doing so is regarded as a good human.
Hence i consider Hansie as a good person who worked really hard to put South African team ahead in the cricket world.
I pray God as a part of Hansie fan group to rest his soul in peace.

Name: Raj Rao
Message: The fact that Hansie had a great personality worked for him both ways. There is no doubt that Hansie was a great competitor but what was expected of him was a squeaky clean image. Although matchfixing or accepting bribes was a known evil in cricket, the fact that Hansie did it was what rocked the cricketing world. One should not only remember him for his cricketing deeds but for also having the guts to admit his wrongdoing despite all the odds. There is definitely a lesson to learn from his life. Sad to note that one will never get to know the Hansie that could have been.

he has done so much for southafrican cricket.not even kepler vessels brought the side to the heights that the side reached when hansie was around.for this he will get a heaven.
but the betting and the bribery he did was the saddest part of his life.but the good one was he accepted it like a man.because i think even today many cricketers have not accepted a hand.
but after this incident one thing again is clear which is a universal truth"all good things are said about a person after he is gone".

Message: Of course, I have forgiven Hansie. he succumbed to temptation but he bravely admitted his mistake and most importantly made a sincere effort to rehabilitate and redeem himself. The spontaneous outpour of grief and support for Hansie from the world over on hearing his tragic death is testimony to his kindness and strength of character. He took the entire responsibility and never ever tried to pass the blame on anybody. He made a mistake proving he was human but in the later days he showed the strength of character that has made him now a legend.

Name: Arka Bhattacharya
Message: Not many people realised what a great leader and how much impact he had on cricket followers and lovers of the games and also players at all levels. His captaincy reminds me a lot of Stephen Fleming very controlled, relaxed and always a positive influence on his team members.
Few people have analysed Hansies real situation at the time he was going through all the problems. Like Macbeth and other great tradegies, I am quite sure he realized what sort of mess he was in and knew it was wrong but the circumstances he was he just had to carry on...I am sure there would have been death threats on him if he wants to come out of it. Like many people who go in the wrong side of the world...its hard to come out from situations like this. Hansie showed us courage he came out with the truth to the world and was brave enough to own upto his own mistakes. He was a great man and always will be...We all make mistakes in life and mostly people are all greedy (Just look at society today). Hansie was good bloke but he was influenced by people who were dangerous and could have done anything to him and his family. We are talking about organised crime here once you get in somehow its pretty hard to come out. We will always remember Hansie Cronje as a great leader of South Africa.
Name: A. Bhattacharya
Message: Amidst remembering Hansie for the wrong reasons, let's spare a thought for the man who had the courage to admit his guilt. Lot of other players continue to deny charges inspite of incriminating evidence, and some even continue to play. In light of that, I believe Hansie should be remembered not only as a great captain but also as the player who, in a way, sacrificed his career to save the game. Remember, he could have gotten away like many others had he not admitted his guilt.

Name: simon
Message: See we are not the proper judge to judge his mistakes. As we too are sinners. But the subject varies.
We are humans in other words sinners. The only difference between him and us is that "He is exposed. And we are not."
So I think before pointing out finger towards him we should look back to ourself. It is true that he has done a wrong thing. But it is also true that we too have not did a proper thing by crucifying him for his mistakes.
If u really want "Yes" or "No" for your question. Then I should say I have already Forgiven him.
I have not seen his match thoroughly. But I understand that he is a good cricketer. I think he should have allowed to continue to play with South Africa, may be he should have punished not to continue as a captain. But he should have been on the 11 list. We shoud have given him a chance to understand his mistakes and his Home Country values.

Name: Murali
Message: Hansie was an excellent leader with emulative traits. I feel that, his involvement in the match - fixing scandal was more done out of ignorance of the act than for the benefits out of it. The initial sense of anger of the public was understandable, but the feelings turned into one of sympathy, when he admitted his guilt. They were willing to forgive the man as they believed that he was not dishonest and the match-fixing thing was just one of those aberrations in an outstanding career. He was a brave person and would continue to be a role model for the future generations to come. It is rather unfortunate that we have lost him at such an young age. May his soul rest in peace.
Name: Sridhar
Message: It is sad to learn of Cronje's death, but let us not go overboard in eulogizing him. To say that he was a perfect gentleman, role model, angel etc. etc. until the "unfortunate" match-fixing mess is akin to calling Rajiv Gandhi MR-CLEAN in 1984 (when he first became PM). Just because somebody's moral character is unknown does not mean he is a saint. In fact, we should stop expecting our public figures and celebrities (for instance Shahrukh Khan, Azharuddin, Kambli, Rajiv Gandhi, Bill Clinton, or even Tendulkar) to be ROLE MODELS. If they turn out to have a sterling character, then well and good, go ahead and praise them, but don't EXPECT it. And don't hand them a sterling character on a platter until they have "earned" it.

Take a leaf of Hansie's efforts and dedicate your good efforts to him. Come on all those guys who were involved in the match fixing scandal. Be brave and courageous to come out now rather than after your death. Best of Luck and we are with you then.

Message: I would like to convey my deepest sympathies to the family of Hansie Cronje. I feel Hansie was one of the most, if not the most, admired captain of his time. It was rather unfortunate that he accepted money from the bookies. But let us not forget that even though he did take the money, South Africa's record was impeccable to say the least. It just goes to show that being honest can ruin you at times. Take the Indian cricket team for example, thay are put on a pedestal but look at their performances, look at their commitment - zero. I feel Hansie was made a scapegoat. If he was an Indian, somehow he would havebeen let off the hook. His death was one of the saddest things to happen. he was not given a chance to redeem himself.

Message: Cronje is one of the world's everbest cricketer and one of most successful skipper for South Africa. In my opinion all of us have to forgive him for the mistake he did. No one in this world lives without doing any crime and the important thing is that He had accepted his mistake bravely. We remember that moment when he accepted his crime and his crying face. We can't forget that. So i hope that south african people also forgive him for his crime. We indian cricket fans really love him and I PRAY GOD TO REST HIS SOUL IN PEACE.

As far as Hasies cricket career is concerned, I was a fan and great admirer of his leadership skills. I thought he was a good player of spin and a decent player of fast bowling. I had always felt that he was more talented than he seemed at times.
It took great courage on his part to accept the accusations and face truth and its dire consequences.
At the end of the day hansie was a hero in his own right, who led his team to many great victories, may have fallen from grace, due to some moment of weakness, but still fought his way through it.
