Message: Hansie Cronje's record as captain speaks about him.To be very frank,when the match fixing scndal came into picture by Delhi Police,I couldn't believe the same till the time Hansie Cronje agreed tht he was not honest on this matter.I think this is nothing but "The Money" mad him made consideraing the kind of repect he was getting in Cricket & the record he had as captain & a cricketer.
May God Forgive him,we are no one to forgive a Man Like hansie Cronje.
In last,this is sure tht,World has missed a Cricketer Like Hansie-no one can fill up tht .

Message: hansie u r a great sport.making some mistakes in life does not take away the natural greatness of a man and someone well said "to err is human and to apologise is divine"hansie u were such a nice person.we r deeply shocked by ur untimely death.may god bless you
Name: ramya
Message: There is nothing to deny that Cronje was one of best captains of one of the best teams in the world. It was under his captaincy that SA tasted success and shaped up as a brilliant team. Their fielding & overall commitment was incomparable and they re-defined winning matches by just 'Fielding' & saving runs.
But, the match-fixing scandal was too much to take for the public. For one simple reason that they held the team & its captain in very high esteem & awe and this incident shattered that image of the 'gentleman' game. Probably, there were many similar incidents which are still kept under wraps. But, a shame is a shame & making a fool of all the people who sit & watch the game with passion is a sin. Logically , going by rational thinking one should neither forget not forgive, but there is always a human touch everywhere. Well, all of us are humans & all of us err, some small, some humungous - and somewhere the heart tells - 'C'mon , its okay'. This is not going emotional over his death but over a period of time, every sin gets this outlook & thats what has happened here too.And anyway, this is like harmless flirting,you know..not a murder..!! So, lets forgive & think of the guy who was one of the brilliant captains.

Name: Dr. Deepak Patil
Message: Yes, I sincerely feel that Hansie should be forgiven for the wrond deeds he committed and publicly regretted. Many people make mistakes, some are on smaller scale while some are on larger one, few get caught on the wrong foot and most escape. As long as one admits to a crime, feels apologetic and tries to rebuild one's life all over again on the right path(like Hansie did) I think the person should be forgiven whether dead or alive. May Hansie's soul rest in peace!

Name: Anil Sane
Message: Without any doubt, Hansi Cronje was one the best Cricket Captain in the contemporary cricket. I would like to put him ahead of Steve Waugh for simple reason, he encouraged & created world's best team during his time.
One must appreciate his courage to come forth (even though later) and admit his wrong doing. Although treated as a black sheep he was one of the many existing even today within Cricketing circle and many of them are scot-free even today.
His plan to help the game of cricket by coaching young prospects in the backward areas showed how determined he was to repay back for the wrong-doings.
I think he did deserve a chance to come back to prove that past was a mistake.
There are many, typically those who have played traditional cricket, believed that he will remembered for wrong doings, but I must say, I have interacted with many Cricket enthusiasts who believe that he will definitely be remebered for his cricket both as a player and a wonderful captain.
I would have liked to see more of Hansie Cronje on the cricket field, simply b'se I think he had in him making of Best Cricket Captain of the contemporary cricket.
May his soul rest in peace.
We will remember you Hansie for your contribution to Cricket and a person who admitted ,couragiously, he had done wrong and was ready to repay back.

Message: the first I saw the headlines in the newspapper about 'match fixing'and what Hansie have to face,I thought it was an very low natured of south aficans and the sports board to do that to him.No one is perfect.The people that condemed him,must fist take the log out their eye before they took the spinter out of Hansie's eye.The hole thing was a set-up.India want him out as a captain for S.A.Hansie was S.A. future for cricket.They,every one felt threatened by his power as a person.

Message: It is really a unfortunate thing. Hansie was a great player and captain. Blaming him for match fixing so much is wrong. Our own Indian players still want to prove that they are innocent which they are not. But Hansie was having that courage to accept all the things. Best farewll for Hansie will be a healty cricket atmosphere without any match fixing.

It was a shame no doubt but worse crimes than this goes without any punishment.Thats the irony of life.May his soul rest in peace.

My hearfelt condolences go out to his wife, kids and the rest of his family. Regarding his matchfixing, everyone at some stage of their life face temptations and since we are all ordinary human beings, we are bound to give in. I feel that we all should and must forgive Hansie and as Ian Botham very well said, we should "remember him for the good things he did".

Name: Sajesh Siddharth
Message: Cronje was the most succesful South African captain. I beleive he regretted what he had done, he cried during his interoggation. That shows he was a man of conviction who regretted his deeds and wanted to repent.
I come from a highly corrupted country wherein people like Azharuddin who was removed from the team was invited for a film award ceremony to give awards to successful artistes.
In our country we need people to learn from this man who had done a misdeed but his conscience was still alive and life became difficult for him due to the truth which was still alive within him.
My hearty condolence to Hansie and his bereaved family members.

Message: I still believe that Hansie was a super player and his demise holds a major loss to the world.
Agreed, that he committed a grave mistake.But then he had the guts to speak it aloud despite knowing that it would de-fame him.Don't you feel he could have averted this if he wished to.His confession cost him in terms of loss of popularity and fans.And his confession marked him different.
Hats off to you Hansie.

As they say even god needs good people by his side there he calls one more as soon as he cleans himself of all the wrong he had done. People of south africa should regret not giving him a second chance and that too at the time when he needed the most, he gave them the title of being the world champs but got nothing in return. Sad to see such a hero lose his life in such a manner and good to see that now he is free of all the charges from his people for whom he did so much. We will always remember you hansie
