Donald, Symcox, Cullinan to testify on match-fixing

Symcox and other players have already publicy voiced their suspicions about Cronje’s behaviour during matches in India and England. Symcox has said in public Cronje offered the players a lot of money to lose a match in Mumbai and he was one of the players who agreed to accept the money. But this was rejected after another player pointed out that it was "immoral" to be involved in such activities.

Symcox said if the players had accepted Cronje’s offer then each one of them would have collected 60,000 Rands while Cronje himself would have pocketed more than 1.3 million Rands

The Commission, headed by retired Judge Edwin King, was appointed after Cronje admitted he had accepted money from a bookie during the tri-nation series between Zimbabwe, England and South Africa early this year.

Meanwhile, Cronje has become the butt of cartoonists and others who try to make the most of the match-fixing scandal. In one such cartoon, South Africa’s famous beer, Hansa Pilsener, is brought into play. Now it is no longer Hansa Pilsener but "Hansie Pilferer".
