Name: Hemant Bhele
Message: Its very sad for Hansie and i think he should have been given a second chance to prove his worth. Everybody in this world makes mistake but everybody should be given the chance to repent. So i think he has been unlucky in that sense. The world will always remember for his good deeds and also bad deeds but one should remember that if he brought South Africa to disrespect, he was the one who had brought them to a new height, so people should not forget tht, So i think we can forgive him and may his soul rest in peace. Also may his family always be happy. RIP.........................



Name: Rajanikanth
Message: Every humanbeing do which deviates from "what he has to do" atleast for a single moment in their life..Hansie do the same..We must forget that single mement and we must remember him for his number of great moments..



Name: Ricky Sandhu
Message: Hansie cronje according to me was the best cricketer any country has ever produced.He was the greatest captain of all the times.Ever one mis use his power when he gets it.Its human nature.I think 99% of the international cricket captain still do what hansie did in the past but hansie had to pay too much for the small thing as the UCB wanted to show the world that how strict they are but i think they are repenting now bcoz there team is going down day by day.Shaun pollock is still to grow up as a captain and the south africans donot have any more good allrounder like hansie was.In the end i would like to say that for some time after hansie was ousted as a captain and a player from the south african side,the great time of south african team is over bcoz no one could be hansie and no one can be hansie.HANSIE CRONJE THE GREAT. CHEERS, RICKY


Message: Bid u goodbye Cronje, ..I cannot express my grief at this moment but I think remebering u for my whole life is an important thing which I should note down. As far as I'm concerned U lived like a warrior, & had nothing done wrong. Who in his whole life didnot commit mistakes,? So as u & It should be forgiven. Bye Bye ..Your admirer, Shashi



Name: Ajax
Message: How many ppl have the guts to admit their mistakes. If Shah Rukh Khan's was an heroic act in "kabhi haan kabhi naa", then hansie is a hero. I think in his death, he has been releaved from the constant media bashing that he has received from the public in general and the cricketing fraternity in particular. He leaves behind an on-the-field legacy that will hopefully outlive his off-field acts of rashness Bye hansie



Name: Kannan
Message: Yes I respect his cricketing skills



Name: sarithavarma
Message: every human being makes mistakes. most of the time,he is forgiven for his mistakes. but i don't believe that cronje was forgiven by the cricketing world. it was extremely sad to see that the news of his sudden death invoked very little emotion from the cricketing fraternity. it was a very unfair way of paying homage to a man who is mainly responsible for southafrican cricket's success that it's now enjoying.if this is not a case of sheer ingratitude, then what is?



Name: manohar
Message: hansie was a great palyer, we should remember the deeds that were commited by him .His efforts made SA a great &succesful team.



Name: Pradeep
Message: Cronje is a great player no doubt...As a player, he was one of the best in the world and lots of people around the world will remember him for that.But, as a person, he has betrayed millions of cricket fans, 'cause of his greed of money.Eventhough, Hansie Cronje will be remembered forever as a player too, it is sad that he will be remembered for the wrong reasons.



Name: Kaushal P. Khona
Message: Dear Hansie, You were a wonderful & innovative captain I have ever seen. May your soul rest in peace.



Name: Sudhir.P
Message: Apart from max-fixing he is one of the best skippers. South Africa should forgiven him and would have abonded him for 6 months or 1 year from cricket but not for whole life time. Anyway salute to Cronje for his best performance inside the ground. Sudhir.P



Name: pravin mahurkar
Message: though hansie was invoved in match fixing,he will be always remembered as tough captain.i totally diagree with ian bothams statement. as a true lover of the game i've seen lots & lots of fans like me who have great sympathy for hansie.its a pitty that cricket world lost such a firceful fighter due to his moment of greed.however cricket world will always remember him as a topclass captain & wonderful person. salute to hansie.



Name: lokenath
Message: He is the only skipper, Who plays the cricket as cricket. not like a battel



Name: A .Suresh Hegde, Bangalore
Message: Hansie Cronje was one of my favourite cricketters and he remains so. I did not believe about the match fixing allegations against him, till he himself admiited to it later. Even then, I was thinking that he was admitting under pressure from some corner! But, I fully believed him when he said he did not throw away a match for money. If the South African team is recognized as one of the best today, then none can ignore the contributions of Late Cronje in earning the name for his country through cricket. I honestly pray for peace for an honest soul of Cronje who, unlike many an Indian player, honestly admitted to taking money.

Name: Ramani Seshan
Message: Who does not make mistakes in life? We have to forgive and forget the wrong he did, and cherish the good he did as a successful skipper and a Captain. He was too young to die. I appreciate his courage in admitting his mistake and regretting it. How many of our players will have the courage to do it? I wish he had a chance in life to repair the damage caused by his folly. But, God Willed it otherwise! May his soul rest in peace.

Message: Good Captain and a Good Manager but went down for his little oscillation in mind. This is Normal Human Being behaviour. Let Us forget for the little harm he did for the great Contribution to Cricket. After all life is measured with Plus and minus only and definitely his plus is more......... Let his soul rest in peace....

Message: I beleive that man is allways thretened by the evil and often the evil has the upper edge over the man. But grace of god has overwhelming power over evil and by this reason man can allways live a free life. We have a great legend placing good and also some bitter experiences. These things shall be good lessons both for ordinary humans and professional sports persons. I shall remember this great person and feel happy that he has a heart to confess what is truth.

Name: Samir
Message: Whole cricket world miss him and sometimes people do some bad things and he did and accept it(that is the good thing). bad eg.look at some Pakistani, Australian player. Did they accept it? I think he was the best cricket player and BEST captian from SA cricket team. SA cricket should have forgiven him long time back but now it is too late. Anyway, i just want to say he was the best captain as well as the best cricketer I have ever seen from SA. Today, SA team consider to be the best cricket team. it is all because of him. The amount of work he did for his own team. I Salute him from my heart, forget the bad thing. look at his good thing. HANSIE, CRICKET WORLD WILL MISS U ALOT.

Name: Aurangzaib alam
Message: its really very sad to know that HANSIE is no more with us,no doubt he was South Africa`s best cricketer and one of the best captain of the cricket world.In my view,the match fixing commission was really rude to hansie they should forgive Hansie for the sake of betterment of South Africas cricket,i should say if they were fair to Hansie then why they did`nt make any restriction over AUSTRALIANS cricketers who are the big lions of match fixing.In the end i just wanna Salute Hansie for his unconditional services for the South African Cricket.
