Thanks for posting. Some really interesting things I didn't know.
I was a crazy cricket fan but since the King commission I have never watched a cricket match again. Can't ever get back into the game.

Lots of things never came out .. but, they are probably best left, that way.
I was stunned by the initial disclosures .. as he had always played with such intensity.
I recall the day, he threw a stump threw the Aus changing room, after Waugh was controversially allowed 'not-out',
after the stumps were broken, with his bat, after the shot had been played.
I could never reconcile, how someone on the field, who glared at players with such fervor, was .. untruthful.
It was prob all an act .. still, v sad.

Treated unjustly? WTF? He got off easy for his betrayal. But the other SA players and the Aussie, English, Indians West Indian and Pakistani players should also have paid heavily.
I was a huge cricket fan but haven't watched since then. What's the point? The sport is rotten ... still :mad:

In Hansie's era the excitement level and 'close matches', (even if they were rigged) was good entertainment. Cricket was fun stuff to watch and I'd get up early for those India / Pakistan matches.
Post Hansie it turned into landslide matches where the atmosphere just isn't the same... The Cricket spirit was buried with Hansie for me :(
