Hansie Cronje a Visit to Hansie Cronje’S Resting Place Late City Edition Thursday 19th January, 2012 “I am not addicted to alcohol or nicotine, but I have an unfortunate love for money” – Hansie Cronje A visit to Hansie Cronje’s resting place REX CLEMENTINE reporting from Bloemfontein Bloemfontein is the home town of once one of South Africa’s favourite cricket sons– Hansie Cronje. Born to an upper middle class family that adhered to strong Christian values, Cronje was educated at the prestigious Grey College, the leading education institute in South Africa where he captained in both rugby and cricket and was the Head Prefect. After being banned for life for match fixing, Cronje began a life outside crick- et with a company called Bell Equipment, who specialized in earth- moving machinery, as a financial manag- er.

There should be though, some symbolic representations of the game of cricket, pertinent to the story. Throughout there should be a screen in use which does not interfere with the action, when stills or moving footage should be used.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

  • Review Mike Marqusee, Anyone but England, Cricket and The
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. REVIEW Mike Marqusee, Anyone But England, Cricket and the National Malaise, Verso, London, 1994 Vishnu Padayachee Regular readers of Transformation may wonder why the editorial collective agreed to the publication of a review of a book on English cricket. Some explanation may therefore be in order. We have over the years carried virtually nothing about the appropriation of sport in the larger process of South Africa's social and political transition, a subject which would be entirely consistent with the journal's editorial focus and policy. Gerry Mare's review of Albert Grundlingh et al's "Beyond the Tryline: Rugby and South African Society' {Transformation 27, 1995), is an exception. But this 'silence' on the subject of sport and politics still does not explain why we are reviewing a book on English cricket, by a 'deracinated Marxist of American Jewish (pi 1)' extraction. There are at least two answers to this. The first relates to Marqusee's overall project, that of trying to understand the relationship between cricket and society in England, especially in a period in which the game has been undergoing far-reaching transformation. The issues he raises and the conclusions he reaches in this regard are very relevant to recent South African experience, into which can be added the further complexities of cricket transformation in a era of rapid political and societal change.

  • The Race Chase: the Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa
    The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Ashwin Desai Department of Sociology, University of Johannesburg [email protected] Biographical Details Ashwin Desai is Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. His latest book is entitled ‘Reverse Sweep: A Story of South African Cricket since Apartheid’. The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Abstract South African cricket (re)entered international cricket in 1991, a few years before the country’s first democratic elections. A tour of India was a prelude to playing in the 1992 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. From the outset of “unity”, cricket was lauded for its transformation programme and for making a decisive break with the past. This break was epitomised by the team being called the Proteas rather than the Springboks. Despite this and on-going efforts to transform the team into a more representative one, issues of racism and racial representation have continued to haunt the game. Questions are persistently raised about racial targets and interference in selection from on high. At local level, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has now made it mandatory that franchises and semi-professional teams be obliged to include six players of colour, of whom three must be Black Africans, raising concerns about deliberate racial engineering. These apprehensions have been exacerbated by increasing calls for national teams to reflect the racial demographics of the country. This article looks at issues of race and representivity in South African cricket post- unity, seeking to probe allegations of racism, as well as how CSA has approached issues of racial representation in the form of quotas and the possible effects of this on the game.
