Cronje - Hero to Villain

Wessels 'Hansie' Cronje - a paradigm for any talented and intelligent cricketer (for that matter any professional) of how one should not spoil their career by involving in unnecessary and illegal activities. But still he is one of my favorite cricketer. An inspirational captain, decent batsmen, intelligent bowler and a natural fielder. He led his country in 53 test, winning 28 and he became the first captain, in modern era, to win a test series in all sub-continent countries. Atleast he confessed his mistake unlike our Indian cricketers.

Garth King has written a biography 'The Hansie Cronje Story: An Authorised Biography' on this cricketer who had won 99 ODI out of 138 matches he captained.
