…and Nothing but the Truth? [Rare books]

This volume details the scandal that rocked the foundations of South African cricket. It offers a presentation of the facts as exposed to public scrutiny, combined with interviews and analysis. How did we miss the warning signs? Are the administrators of the game blameless? Will they go far enough to uncover the truth? Most importantly, has Hansie Cronje told the whole truth? These are some of the issues raised in this book, along with a discussion on international instances of spread betting and match-fixing. Controversial analysis is presented of Cronje’s performance on the pitch before and after known contact with book makers. The book confronts the question of what compelled Hansie Cronje to do what he did, and offers insight into the man, idolized by a sports-loving nation, who fell from glory.
