Not Cricket 2:
The Captain and the Bookmaker

The Hansie Cronje Story

Lifts the lid on the new South Africa through the prism of sport.

This sequel to the award-winning Not Cricket: The Basil D'Oliveira Conspiracy completes a 2-part 60 year history of South African politics by telling the extraordinary tragedy of Hansie Cronje, the iconic hero of South African transformation who, by taking bribes to fix international cricket matches, betrayed Mandela's ideal.

The film features exclusive interviews with Marlon Aronstam, one of the bookmakers who corrupted him; with Cronje’s boss and controversial coach, the late Bob Woolmer - filmed just weeks before his death amid false rumours he was murdered by match fixers - as well as incredibly frank confessions from fellow test team-members, friends, mentors and most of the key opinion formers in South African cricket.
