And the Oscar goes to Manoj Aravindakshan P ity Hansie Cronje. Like a true practicing Christian, which they kept telling us he was and therefore placed him beyond the lure of any temptation, he confessed.
Elegies echo throughout the world at the great betrayal and the great fall.
They say Cronje, when proved guilty beyond doubt, will even be sent to jail for four years. That s unfair. If you think this nomination is unjustified, carry your mind away from that insipid Chandrachud report, the flurry of questions that evokes no answers, Lele s rubbish , Bindra, the mafia, the Lok Sabha, the CBI, the Interpol etc. Everything that made him a role model the role of the good guy played to perfection, till the time the plot demanded that the mask be taken off and the bad guy be revealed. There s been a lot of grief expressed at cricket matches never being the same again with this spectre of match-fixing.
