DISGRACED former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje took the witness stand on Friday for the third time with a stern warning from judge Edwin King to tell everything to the match-fixing inquiry or face prosecution. “At this stage in your evidence I must tell you that unless I am satisfied that you have told this inquiry all you know…I will not be able to make a recommendation to the prosecuting authorities,” King said. Cronje, sacked as captain on April 11 after first denying, then admitting, taking money from bookmakers, has been offered immunity from prosecution if King is satisfied that he has made full disclosure. On Thursday, in an outburst during cross-examination, Cronje said that he felt that he is being put “on trial by the media.” Cronje made the claim while being cross-examined by commission leader Shamila Batohi about transcripted telephone conversations allegedly between himself and a with bookmaker named Sanjay. Cronje’s legal counsel, Malcolm Wallis, objected to the line of questioning regarding the contents and the authenticity of the transcript. Cronje interjected while Wallis was debating his point, and said that he feels that he is being put on trial by the media. Cronje also said on Thursday that his overwhelming greed for easy money from bookmakers blinded him to the immorality of his actions. “I didn’t see the bad side of it at the time. Until April 7 I didn’t realise that I had been playing with such big fire,” he said.
