Message: more than a great captain and a good allrounder, i like cronje for is character and great qualities he had. even when he admitted that he had got money, he didn't showcase is other teammates, great man , he will live long in my heart ,great great and ever great.....

Name: amarta ghorai
Message: For a man who gave so much to South Africa, his country men and the criceting fraternity paid him back with only pain and disgrace. Cronje probably repaid all his bashers with the ultimate sacrifice-death.God rest his soul in peace.

Name: sudhan
Message: you were and would have been the best captain of all time...

Name: Kumaran
Message: Every thing should be forgotten after the death as far as individual is concerned but not the match-fixing in the game of cricket. The other people behind that act should be ashamed and beg God to rest his soul.

Name: Chris
Message: Well he had his weak moments. But one must agree that he had the guts to openly admit that he did something wrong. He was an amazing cricketer, but rather unfortunate that his cricketing deeds will be overshadowed by the negative things.

Name: Raj
Message: Isn't it slightly weird that we are mourning the death of this man whom a certain section still wants to call "disgraced"? And this about a man who has not "fixed matches" or "thrown" them, but has been only honest about being tempted by "the Satan"? We know, the world knows, that there are a few cricketers left in this world who are genuine fixers and throwers.. but are scot free because they dare not own up, ever. In the midst of it, Hansie, you are a refreshing change. You erred, but owned up. How many of us can do that in our lifetimes? Adieu, Hansie. We will miss your smile forever.

Message: Hansie you will be remembered as a true sportsman, a man who did hear his heart and had the guts to own.. No one has done it yet.. It requires strength to do it.

Name: Sameer Sultan
Message: My favorite cricketer has been Hansie Cronje.I liked his hardened approach towards the game.The betting scandalrealy dented his image.But he was lured by the temptation of money,which I feel is quiet natural.He did not majorly throw any match for South Africa,he accepted only spread bets,and record as captain says it all.In my eyes he was never a Villian and he should have been given a second chance.The Almighty God forgives his beings for more grave sins.I always had a soft corner for him.His untimely death has saddened me a lot and my sympathies are with his near and dear ones.May his soul rest in peace.

Name: Nayan

Name: georgycherian
Message: dear hansie i am so sad hearing of ur death. he did one wrong thing but he was an really good cricketer dont consider him bad because of this only. see to error is human no bye hansie

Name: Ajay
Message: Hansie has been an inspirational leader for South Africa. He has taken south Africe from the nadir to the top of world cricket in a very short time. That is what should be remembered more of him as he has publicly accepted his wrong deeds. Accepting such grave faults is not at all easy & that too in front of an entire nation, but he has done that. He is much better than the Jadeja's or Azharuddin's of India or for that matter Salim Malik's or Wasim Akram's from pakistan who have never accepted their mistakes. I think he should be remembered for how he has risen from such shameless position to the man who had the courage to accept his mistakes. He can be the perfect role model for people not just in SA but across the world. may his soul rest in Peace!!!

Name: Vijay Ekambaram Mudaliar
Message: Hansie Cronje was a great Cricketer and a great Humanbeing. Though faced with sure disgrace, he had the courage to accept the truth and stand fair trail. Such decision at the pinacle of one's career required sanct persona. As a fellow humanbeing I thing Hansie is a personal loss to me. I and family pray to God to give peace to the departed soul in its heavenly abode and strenght to the berieved family to bear this irreparable loss. Vijay

Name: rajeshs

Name: Jatin Parikh
Message: Hansie cronje was a hero & is going to remain hero for me. Nobody is perfect & as a human everyone is bound to make some mistake. Hansie did make mistake of fixing match but he admitted doing do where as other kept saying "No". It's really unfortunate that he died in plane crash.

Name: Devendra Abhyankar
Message: I believe that the biggest mistake Hansie has done that he admitted doing a crime. There are so many players who have done it and are still at large, albeit a few who have been banned. But you need courage to come forward and admit it. Admitting doing wrong is also a greater deed and we should have pardoned a man who has done it for a greater cause, to protect the spirit of cricket. Let's also remember him for his cricket and his sportsman spirit.

Name: Prashant Nair
Message: People have a myopic vision when it comes to the good things done by anybody. The wrong ones done by a person stands outstanding no matter what good deeds came out of the very person who is now reprimanded for the deeds befalling his stature. Hansie had been a good person and a successful person in that. I personally held him at high esteem for his gentlemanly attitude and sportsmanship...But, was dented by the allegations and his later confirmation of his misdeeds. But, in a larger perspective, we should acknowledge, however great a person might be, he sins sometime or the other in his life time. We need to introspect ourselves, do we stand a ground in throwing mud at somebody when we ourselves stand neck deep in our day to day corrupted life. Lets learn the goodies from people and stop bickering about other's misdeeds and feeling outrageous about it. I pray that his soul may rest in peace. May God grant everybody the courage to acknowledge his wrongs.

Name: Sasanka Mahapatra
Message: He was the bravest captain and individual I have ever seen. To face all that he has and survive is an example to emulate... Too bad that he ultimately was hounded out of the game, and not given a chance to repent and contribute something back to it...he would have made an excellent coach...may be the present Indian team needs a tough man like him now... farewell, Hansie, you are remembered, in Orissa, at least... may your soul rest in peace...

Name: Hitesh
Message: Hansie was a great cricketer,that's how I will remember him. His leadership qualities won many a matches for SA. He has an impeccable record as captain. SA cricket improved by leaps and bounds during his tenure. His team came and beat India in India by 2-0 in the test series(very few times this has happened in recent past).

Name: Claudius Lazarus
Message: It was a real tragic past few years for this wonderful person. Who in the world can stand up and say that he has not done anything wrong. Everyday our policicians and bureaucrats create scandals worth crores of rupees and they are not only leading a life of oppulence but are also apparently immune to any prosecution. Here was a religious and family man who was introduced to crooks of the highest order by none other than another crook of the highest order Mohd.Azzarhuddin. While Azzar continues to lead a shamelessly open life, Hansie had to die a death of a broken man, shunned by all but a few. My feelings go to his family and friends who knew he was not really a bad person. But was conned by some really filthy and street smart individuals. May his soul rest in peace. Amen. claudius

Name: Koushik Banerjee
Message: Dear Hansie, Farewell! I agree with Mr. Ian Botham that people will reemember you not for your good deeds, contribution to SA...but for the wrong thing you did in life. But I and my family will always remember you as a strong man who had the courage to admit that he was wrong. In all religion, we are told to pardon and respect a person who admits his mistake. In you case, sports politics played a role above everything else. Perhaps, some people wanted to make an example out of you, not for your confession...but for your mistake. Nevertheless, you courage, honesty and good deed will remian an inspiration to us. May God rest you in peace, Koushik Banerjee Sudeshna Banerjee Koustav Banerjee Kamal Kumar Banerjee Ranu Banerjee Ridhhi Banerjee

Name: I Maitra
Message: I guess history would be kind to Hansie, he could perhaps have conspired & kept things under wraps lkie our own Bangaru Laxman's.

Message: i dont know much about cricket but when i started reading about hansie i felt so sorry for him not because what he has done but when he accepted and regreted for his mistake still media kept going on and on which made him a really bad guy even his country and his people did not forgive him.by behaviour of south africa the hypocrite,in future no body will ever take responsibility for their wrong doing. the moment you accept your mistake God forgives you..what right do we have to brand someone as a sinner. I hope god forgives him and may his soul rest in peace.

Message: definately hansie, was one on of the most respectable player in cricket history before match-fixing scandle. There r many instances in matches which shown his caliber as a cricketer and a human being. He did a lot of good things for south african cricket. And added a lot of glory for their team. Definately the thing he had accepted finally was good, but mistake do happen in everyones life, so bcz of that u cant neglect all his good dids. I really respect all good qualitie in hansie. I wish a piece for his soul. A deep condolences for his family.
