‘Hansie’ filming completed
By Will Wednesday, 2 weeks ago, No Comments; be the first!
Frans Cronje, the brother of Hansie, has finished the film documenting the life and troubles of his sibling.
The filming of Hansie, based on the life of the late South African captain, has been completed by his brother Frans Cronje, who says he went through his “own King Commission” during the “incredibly tough” year of shooting. Frans told Cricinfo the movie, completed on Monday, will be released across Africa on September 24 with a possible international release to follow
Whatever your views of the man, it’ll be interesting to see how objective Frans has managed to be.

Casanova

Casanova? What the hell’s that got to do with cricket, you might ask. And well you might. Nothing, is the short answer, but everyone should go and see it when it opens on Monday. Don’t ask why, just do it.
Splendid.

As I just mentioned, and I don’t know his name, but this South African commentator really takes the piss. I’m picky when it comes to radio and TV commentary: I want information, but not too much. I want humour, but not too much. I do not want crap, and I do not want commentators who sound like they’ve been to media school - this guy makes Tony Blackburn seem dull.
Therefore, I propose the following alternate voices - from past and present - who could do a better job, and lighten the mood. I’m assuming each one has indepth knowledge of the great game, even though none/few do.
Margaret Thatcher: imagine those husky, oddly masculine tones as she describes a Vaughan cover drive
Dalek: imitating, not replacing, Richie Benaud’s infamous “choo for chwenty choo” (TWO. FOR. TWEN. TEA. TWO)
Tony Blackburn: well why not? Can hardly do anyone worse than Saffer Safferson above.
Scooby/Scrappy Doo: Yikes! It’s a Six, scoobs!
Winston Churchill: “They shall fight on the pavillion roof. They shall fight in the canteen. They shall fight at the wicket, on the boundary, and McGrath will never be surrendered too”
Robert DeNiro: “Are you talkin’ to me?” as Henry Blofeld offers him some cake
This could go on for a bit…so I’ll stop there

Read this on Mike’s blog (thanks Mike) and laughed at his pontification of Lee in the movies. God…can you imagine?
