"RCB don't have bowlers who can bowl in the death overs!"

On this day in 2002
South Africa's former skipper Hansi Cronje died in a plain crash. He led South Africa to a record 23 wins in his 53 test matches, with just 11 losses. In April 2000 he took the cricketing fraternity by surprise when he accepted his involvement in match fixing. After this incident he faced barbaric criticism and a lifetime ban .Despite all this he was voted as the eleventh greatest South African in 2004 .

On his seventeenth death anniversary we remember the fallen captain.

in 2006, South Africa scored 438 runs in an epic ODI chase against Australia at The Wanderers.
