This is really hard to believe but it's possible for anyone to fall into this kind of trap. Money changes a man. Hensie Cronjie was on top of the world, he had everything, would have easily gone down in the history as one of the greatest captain and maybe even South Africa's best ever. What more could he have possibly gained by earning a little extra money on the side?
As other people have mentioned, let's not point fingers until the investigation is over. But I think it's safe to say BPL is not clean. Some form of fixing did occur, be it one game or multiple games. Remember Mash came out and notified BCB and the anti corrultion unit about some bookie that approached him. If they approached Mash it's very much possible they also approached other players. Mash may have been strong enough to turn them down, but not everyone is Mash.
