South African cricket captain Shaun Pollock left the field of an English county cricket match in shock on Saturday afternoon after hearing his former captain Hansie Cronje had died in a plane crash in the southern Cape.
Speaking by phone Pollock’s wife, Trish, said her
husband was so devastated that he could not finish the game.
”He is in the change room at the moment and I do not think he can talk to the press now.
”He needs a few hours to recover,” she said. – Sapa
