Cronje denies match-fixing charges

JOHANNESBURG, APRIL 8. South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje vehemently denied charges of match-fixing made yesterday by Delhi police saying they were ``without substance.''

``I am stunned,'' he said in a statement distributed by the United Cricket Board of South Africa (UCBSA). ``The allegations are completely without substance. I have been privileged to play for South Africa since 1992 and I want to ensure every South African that I have made a 100 per cent effort to win every match that I have played. It has been an honour to play for South Africa and I would never do anything to let my country down''.
